Gypsy, my ears are midwestern, so antz is what I mostly hear also, although I have an adopted son who's as midwestern as I but has always pronounced it ahnt. I figure it must have been an influence from one of his foster homes. Don't think we need a JoeClone for this. I'll just put it all together:

Whose hands are these, all rough and hard?
Nails all torn, from toil and care
Who kept the gar-den, the house and the yard
Touched my cheek, and smoothed my hair

Bless-ed be the aunts of peace
Bless-ed their voices, the songs they sung.
Blessed are their arms and their hands and their knees
All who loved us, when we were young

The Lord's my shep-herd, I'll not want
By the still waters, I walk with my own
Waters so still and the pasture so green
Goodness and mer-cy, following me
