I've asked them all, by the way, and no one remembers it! Google tells me it's an old hymn that's contained in certain old books, none of which I have. Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics and melody online? Sheet music would be good, an mp3 would be great, lyrics and a midi would suffice. |

L., Mrs. Place of Publication/Creation Hillsville, Virginia Date Recorded 03-1939 Language English Form sound recording Collection Description H. Halpert 1939 Southern States Recordings Repository American Folklife Center, Library of Congress Sung by Mrs. W. L. Martin. Note Text read from J. B. Vaughan, Resurrected Songs Prepared for the Church (Athens, Ga., ca. 1904), p. 93. Subject United States of America--Virginia--Hillsville AFC Number AFC 1939/005 AFS Number AFS 02752 A03 Updated "Father and Mother, weep not, for Agnes is in the green, peaceful bowers of Paradise. She is being led, fed and refreshed by the great Shephard of the sheep and lambs, who was himself once a child, that he might sanctify the tender age of infancy and who in the days of His flesh, pressed infants to his bosom and speaking those comforting words, " suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not." Agnes and a few days before she died, "Jesus is Passing This Way, " and " Will the Waters be Chilly?" The smile left on her face is one evidence that the "waters" were not "chilly" to her but that she had passed into the Elysian fields, where sickness, sorrow and death will have no more influence over her precious little body.
