31 Mar 13 - 03:58 PM (#3497152) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Easter song: Joy for Glorious Morning From: Genie Here are the full lyrics: JOY FOR THE GLORIOUS MORNING! Joy, joy! What a glorious morning! Oh, what a beautiful day! The cold, dark tomb couldn't bury the Light And the stone's been rolled away! Sing, sing, for the new day's dawning, Heaven and earth reborn! Hate couldn't conquer the power of Love On this peaceful Easter morn, On this blessed Easter morn. Just three days ago / they put Love on trial 'Cause they could not understand. Ignorance and fear seemed to rule the minds And darken the hearts of man. Just three days ago / darkness seemed to reign, we'd been Blinded by the Light. But fear and chains could not contain The power of Love Divine. So sing out! Let your voice ring out! Love victorious reigns! Let the earth abound with joyful sound, For Hope is born again. Yes, Hope is born again. Praise, praise for the glorious morn'! Let music fill the earth! Sing, for a new day has dawned With the promise of rebirth. So, joy, joy for the glorious morning! Oh, what a jubilant day When Love sprang forth — without a sound — And rolled that stone away! And rolled that stone away! (words & music by R. Jeanene Pratt, © 2009, 2012) |

01 Apr 13 - 04:12 PM (#3497556) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Easter song: Joy for Glorious Morning From: Genie Here's a video of me singing the song, along with our church pianist, Suzan Garau. It's not a very good recording, partly because our sound guy didn't turn Suzan's mic up loud enough on my guitar or Suzan's voice, and I had to overdub part of the harmony. It also sounds a bit mushy because of the amp settings, and the whole tempo is a bit too slow, but you can hear the tune. Joy For The Glorious Morning! Imagine the whole song being sung somewhat faster and with a bit more treble. |

Hardly ready for prime time an far from great sound quality, but you can hear the tune (in progress) and how it fits the lyrics. Joy For The Glorious Morning, live at Sanctuary Presbyterian Church |
