LYRICS:
Ev’ry time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart, I pray;
Oh, ev’ry time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart, I pray.
Oh, up on the mountain my Lord spoke;
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke.
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me,
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me,
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me,
Way beyond the blue in glory:
I got a home in glory land that outshines the sun,
I got a home in glory land that outshines the sun,
I got a home in glory land that outshines the sun
Way beyond the blue.
The River Jordan is chilly and col’,
Chills the body but not the soul.
And all around me looks so shine,
I ask my Lord if it all was mine.
I’m on the road to heaven now, you must take it too,
I’m on the road to heaven now, you must take it too,
I’m on the road to heaven now, you must take it too,
Take it way beyond the blue in glory.
Feel the Spirit
Strong, stirring spirituals and tuneful, jazz-flavoured settings of Shakespeare’s timeless lyrics are the mouth-watering ingredients of the Cambridge Singers’ album Feel the Spirit. John Rutter has written vivid arrangements of seven well-loved American spirituals for choir, with soloist Melanie Marshall and the BBC Concert Orchestra joining together with the Cambridge Singers for this world première recording.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
