Description: From the preface to the American Vocalist ( D H Mansfield ,Boston 1849) The fact is, the old composers were probably better acquainted both with God and man. They had studied human nature as well as scientific theories. Many of them were holy men, and their music, composed among the hills and forests of Puritanic New England, is but an embodiment of pious devotion. This will explain the reason why old Majesty, and Fluvanna, will make the eyes of a congregation sparkle,........ http://people.bethel.edu/~rhomar/Prefaces/TheAmericanVocalist1849.htm

English text
Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To Thee will I direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye.
Up to the hills, where Christ is gone
To plead for all His saints,
Presenting at His Father’s throne,
Our songs and our complaints.
