Publisher Description
An aid to prayer. Through singing along with these metrically versified versions of the traditional prayer from the scriptures or prayer book, we hear the words, find the meanings, and pray anew. The tunes, some taken from traditional church sources (like Beethoven's Hymn to Joy), others from folk sources (like the Yellow Rose of Texas or the Mexican Hat Dance) and yet others from Taiwan and the Philippines, add rhythm and melody to the words from the hearts of the users.
The author began composing versifications of the prayer as an aid to his own meditation, and began setting them to tunes in order to remember them from night to night.
