Come Ye Disconsolate - Terre Johnson Baylor University A Cappella Choir Tour 2012 Homecoming Concert Dr. Alan Raines, Conductor Celeste Johnson, Piano March 13, 2012 Jones Concert Hall Baylor University
So beautiful! Our choir at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Versailles KY is singing this as our Palm Sunday anthem. We are all of an age to have known struggle and sadness (several have disabilities and family members who are suffering) and cannot get through this hymn without tears of gratitude and hope in the great truths here. ❤
I picked this song to be sung as a congregational hymn at my dad's funeral which was held a few days ago. I grew up singing this hymn in church in the 1970s which was sung whenever it was announced that someone in church had passed away. Thank you for this recording. It is beautiful and sounds so much like the church choirs I grew up hearing in church. This song brings much consolation to those of us grieving.
Come, ye disconsolate 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the comforter, tenderly saying, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing forth from the throne of God, pure from above. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing earth has no sorrows but heaven cannot remove. I said, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure

Wow, thank you for catching that and taking the time to point it out. Especially in reference to this superb performance.They are an A Capella Choir that in this case are performing with a piano. In my opinion It is a wonderful addition that enhances the performance. Katie and Hyphenugle ,get a life !
The tempo is absolutely perfect for the song.It lends it a reverence and solemnity that would be missing were it played at a.fastet pace. This is a superb performance.
