(video) Sam Robson: ‘O Love That Will Not Let Me Go’ – SOLO 6-PART Acapella Arrangement

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s glow its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me thro’ pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow thro’ the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red,
Life that shall endless be.

With this hymn I wanted to try a softer approach to the singing, as this is a jazzier arrangement of mine.

About 3/4 years back I recorded this tune, and the feedback was amazing but I began to notice a trend in the comments section suggesting that I record this with better quality. So after 3 or so years I finally got the guts and the voice power to recreate this recording.

I hope you enjoy
Thanks

Lyrics:
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

(video) Sam Robson: ‘Be Thou My Vision’ Hymn – SOLO 4-PART Acapella Arrangement

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty gain,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain.
I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessèd Son.

I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.

Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them

And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever

Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I’d give
What I’d dare
Just to live one day out there

All I ask is one

Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I’d give
What I’d dare
Just to live one day out there

Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev’ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin
I’d treasure ev’ry instant

Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear I’ll be content
With my share
Won’t resent
Won’t despair
Old and bent
I won’t care
I’ll have spent
One day
Out there

This my first Disney arrangement done on request. I couldn’t help but notice a few threads suggesting this one in the comments section and as I am already familiar with this song and it’s awesomeness, I decided to give it a go!

I feel it’s fair to mention fair use as have not straight up copied any visuals without applying my own creative spin to it.

Lyrics:
I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I’m meant to be

I will find my way, I can go the distance
I’ll be there someday if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

I am on my way – I can go the distance
I don’t care how far – Somehow I’ll be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong

I will beat the odds – I can go the distance
I will face the world – fearless proud and strong
I will please the Gods – I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s, welcome right where I belong

(video) Sam Robson: ‘O Holy Night’ – SOLO 8-PART Acapella Arrangement!

!!!!!!!WoW!!!!!!! Sam sings 6 & 8-part harmony starting at 50 second mark!

– –

Truly He taught us to  love  one another, 
His law is love and His gospel is peace. 
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. 
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With ALL our  hearts  we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Amazing Grace – Moscow Easter Festival 2015

Published on Oct 14, 2015

Amazing Grace is arguably one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world. This version was arranged for us by our very own Doug Harrington with the help of Rasmus Krigström. This recording is from a concert held in the “Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother and Peter and Paul” in Moscow in the beginning of May of 2015.

Doug admits that arranging a song with such dignity and that already has been done in countless different versions was a hard task. The inspiration for this arrangement came from visioning what it would be like to ascend to heaven.

Soloists are Emanuel Roll, Mattias Larsson and Hritul Karim.

Books VS eBooks — Books still have advantages

One of the problems with ebooks…

Also, I’ve heard Kindle can change the content or delete ebooks even after they’re downloaded.

And books can be highlighted and written on.

Det är en ros utsprungen – Jan Sandström

Det är en ros utsprungen av Jesse rot och stam. Av fädren ren besjungen,
den står i tiden fram, en blomma skär och blid, mitt i den kalla vinter,
i midnatts mörka tid.

There is a rose that springs up from Jesse’s root and stem. By venerable fathers extolled, that stood in former times, a flower blushing and gentle, amidst the cold winter, in a dark midnight-hour.
