An arrangement of an early American shape note melody, "Pleading Savior", from "The Christian Lyre" - a book of hymn tunes published in 1830. This piece (with words from Hymn #370 from the 1932 Christian Science Hymnal) is one of a large collection of hymn texts given new, creative settings by Nicholas Schliapin. Watchfire is thrilled to make Mr. Schliapin's music once again available.
Lyrics
We are hid with Christ forever
Words: Nellie B. Mace
Composer: Nicholas P. Schliapin
We are hid with Christ forever
In the Father’s holy plan.
In this pure eternal union
We behold the perfect man;
And we know that sin can never
Overthrow the sacred rod
Of dominion over evil:
We are hid with Christ in God.
Hid with Christ in God, O gladness:
O the meekness and the might,
When the risen Christ has lifted
All our thoughts into the light,
Light of Truth wherein no sadness
Dims the radiant peace we find,
As we set our whole affection
On the beauteous things of Mind.
