I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love-put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.

I used to have this CD. This is still my favorite chorale piece ever.

Amazing piece performed splendidly.

I sang with Paul in 1967 at St Norbert’s College in Wisconsin. It was a choral workshop weekend. Wonderful experience!

We were learning this song at my high school for a trip to New York where we would sing with several other choirs, and then COVID happened and we didn’t get to, so we dropped the piece. I’m a little sad about that, I think it’s a beautiful piece

Awesomely beautiful, stirs the emotions, divine powerful blessed music, thanks for sharing.

This song could not be more beautiful, truly

A favourite choral piece for seven years running. I loved singing Stroope in high school.

i just love this song.. since the first time I heard it to singing it in KMF (Kenya Music Festival) in 2018 as University Set Piece😌

You are very good and Gjeilo is a real genius! My choir sang "Days of Beauty" and "The Rose" with a new arrangement and adapted them for mixed male and female choir, making spectacular videos, with stunning landscapes and views. Write this in the research: I hope you like it: Corale Novarmonia - Days of Beauty (O. Gjeilo) SATB Choir Corale Novarmonia - The Rose (O. Gjeilo)

13 years ago I sang this beautiful piece with my high school choir and it still gives me chills to this day. Wonderful and unforgettable.

I want to enter heaven’s gates while listening to this

The best of the best of the best. Lauridsen is best with the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Too bad iTunes/Apple Music took it off of their online store.

Always makes me weep

This song will forever be my favorite piece I performed in high school. It was so empowering to sing at the time and now continues to bring me to tears every time that I hear it

I started singing in jr high school choirs and am now 74 and still singing, presently in two choirs. Search out the community choruses and church choirs, music and musicians of any sort. Find the music wherever you are, because no matter what happens to you in the journey of your life the music will carry you through. And if there isn't a singing group for you to join, start one. You'll be surprised at what a good conductor you are. Music groups are like magnets, they draw people to them.

Gorgeous!!

We may not be going to contest but by god we’re gonna do three AA pieces

Masterpiece.

We performed this song my freshman year in high school (which was only a few years ago) with our chamber choir and it has stuck with me since. It is still one of my favorite pieces I've ever done in any choir I've ever been and one of my favorite songs with lyrics written by poet Sara Teasdale. I still listen to it years later and it's as magical as the first time my choir teacher introduced it to us. It's every good part of any choir song combined into one.

This is seriously the most heartbreakingly beautiful song I've ever heard in my life. I tear up everytime I listen to it.

One of my favorites!

This is my favorite choral song in the whole entire world It is so so powerful and I adore every bit of it I have the most beautiful memories attached to this song, and it brings me to tears every time I hear it ♡

Yeet

My choir director told me that this was one of her favorite choral arrangements, and I can see why 😍😍

I've never actually read the words! Wow!!

Anyone else doing this for choir?

I had to sing the baritone part on my own for a Choral Assessment lol amazing piece.

I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love-put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.

I heard this song for the first time when I was at a choral adjudication in New York, and then later when we performed at Carnegie Hall. this song is absolutely gorgeous and it always makes me think of my crush because I was with him the whole time<3

this always chokes me up

I'm in both band and choir and a fan of Stroope's work, yet I somehow found this song because of band

Gottes Segen

Sounds like Middle School

im guessing this will be the last extremely beautiful piece i will sing in high school choir

💙

NAfME honnor chorus 2017 where you at?

This will always be one of the most breathtaking songs I've ever had the opportunity to sing. It's not easy, the harmony is thorough and gorgeous, but the words steal your heart. When I become nostalgic, I listen to this song and remember one of my proudest moments in life: the entire chorus nailing a song, and the emotions it brought. That's why I love music so much. It's so powerful. Can I go back to choir???

Lol sorry read pardon me

Give me a sign I can read between the lines

Sê net ja

Begin julle alweer om vir my te kalmeer

Miss this song so much. My high school choir sang it at Carnegie Hall when I was in 9th grade as a soprano 1. Truly touching

Graduated high school 2 years ago and this was my favorite choral piece senior year. Pieces like this make me miss that choir so much.

I had the privilege of singing this song in the Westmont College Choir two years ago on our tour around the pacific northwest. The reaction from the audience was priceless. One of the many songs from our repertoire that I will remember and cherish forever.

What a song.

this song really tugs on your heartstrings.

Just sit, meditate, and enjoy voices put forth in songs to God.

Absolutely gorgeous.
