You can truly hear the heart you have for God in this song and your vocalization of Haugen's words are harmonious with the Word's of David the Psalmist.

I looked up your video two years ago when trying to find the whole song for our daughter's funeral. I loved your rendition so much I saved it on my computer. I found a friend to sing it for us at the funeral. Today we attended a service in our church and they used this song as the responsorial. I had a really difficult time sitting through it because of our sad reminder and because it's such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your talent with this gorgeous song.

Of all the hymns I've heard during rare outings to church with the family, this one is so rarely sung. I heard it at a funeral of my great grandmother, and once in church. Either way, I much prefer women singing it. Seems more... soothing? Comforting I suppose. Very glad I found this video. You have a beautiful voice.
@goognamgoognw66377 жыл бұрын
I agree it sounds better with a female voice with a mixed choir providing support. I heard both and i am a man. But i think the tempo is too slow on all youtube versions even the original by the composer.
@sarco645 жыл бұрын
My preference is for the hymn to be sung by the entire congregation. That way it becomes more of a communal prayer than a performance, not that I don't appreciate this beautiful rendition.
@tanya53224 жыл бұрын
goognam goognws this recording certainly is a lovely rendition, but I also like it in the lower register of the male voice as well. My thoughts about the tempo is that the composer might have wanted to evoke the patience and steadiness of The Good Shepherd. As for the other recordings you’ve heard, despite the composer being Lutheran, much of his work was initially embraced by the Catholics. As a former Lutheran who married into a Catholic family, I’ve noticed that in many Catholic parishes even lively hymns are played at funeral dirge tempo.

Refrain: Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life. 1 God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want, I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love, I walk by the quiet waters of peace. [Refrain] 2 Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul, you lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth, my spirit shall sing the music of your name. [Refrain] 3 Though I should wander the valley of death, I fear no evil, for you are at my side, your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope. [Refrain] 4 You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred, crowning me with love beyond my power to hold. [Refrain] 5 Surely your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore. Refrain][

Hello Sonia, I am a guitarist in CA but I'm from Rome, NY. I spoke to an old friend (Vinnie - Vocalist) today back in Rome. We played in bands in the 60's. During our conversation he mention this hymn and said to listen to you. He said it's his all time favorite and raved about your voice. I just listened to it. I've done worship music for 30 years and still play at a few bay area hospitals as a certified clinical musician. When I listened to it I loved it but as good as it is, I know what makes it so great. You have the Spirit within you of the living God. That's where your power and love come from. I'm disappointed you don't have any recent videos and I hope you are continuing to bless people with your gifts. Love you in Christ Sonia. --David Snellbacher
