The Sacred Harp Mi

Mi * * Settling for pause this an all-day affair then outside grace was said then all do feed Lots of kissing and hugging kinfolk share A new baby on quilt sweet dreams he sleeps Children run and play men talk of horses As the women are talking up a storm We sing our trio to the choruses Family reunion of the Sherburne Back inside join again the next refrains In double springs overflowing melody Feast of love and joy singing the Lord reigns Enriching making the faith’s heart wealthy Times change but some traditions never part Singing and plucking the strings of the heart
