07 May 00 - 05:01 PM (#224399) Subject: Our Hymn of Grateful Praise From: Sourdough I just heard Linda Ronstadt and Garrison Keillor sing, "Lord of All to Thee We Raise, This Our Hymn of Grateful Praise". I've always liked this old hymn but they sang it with a bit of a ragtime accompaniment and the song really came alive. When I went looking for the lyric on Mudcat I found a Christmas version of the song but I really prefer this clear message of appreciation "for the beauty of the earth, for the splendor of the skies". I tried the Gospel link but had less luck there. I'd really like to be able to sing more than the two or three half-remembered verses I have I my head. Can anyone help? Sourdough

I've already had the Autoharp out and have been working the tune out. It sounds wonderful on the harp. I knew these lyrics weren't in Digitrad. I was surprised, too. Mary in KY: Those URLs you suggested are good sources. The music in Hymsite is surprisingly good. Hymsite also has a couple more verses of Our Hymn of Grateful Praise. I'm not religious but I sure do like singing good gospel. Sourdough |

I intended to give a random sample of an old show, but for whatever reason, I keep getting this message: Forbidden Your client is not allowed to access the requested object. . . . must be dangerous stuff. |

Dale - I bookmarked that site to Prairie Home Companion. I really like the way you can just click on a portion of the program you want to hear. I'll be watching for the May 6th (or 7th) program. Thanks. Mary |
