09. Old Hundredth

Red Beets and Horseradish
by The Little Wretches

       
Lyrics:

For all that dwell below the skies
Let our Creator’s praise arise
For blessings flow where e’er He reigns
The captive leaps to loose his chains
Loose his chains, Loose his chains
Loose his chains

The poor and all oppressed by wrong,
Standing steadfast, true and strong
The lifted eye and bended knee
His promise sets the captive free
Captive free, Captive free
Captive free

Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord
Eternal truth attends Thy word
Though mist and shadow all around
I’ll set my feet on solid ground
Solid ground, Solid ground
Solid ground

With all my strength and all my might
I’ll run the race and fight the fight
The freer step, the fuller breath,
The joy of Life that fears no death
Fears no death
Fears no death
Fears no death


(based on Isaac Watts, John S. B. Monsell, Violet Hayes, Thomas Scott, Samuel Longfellow & anonymous)
