The Sacred Harp Mi

Mi
* *
Settling for pause this an all-day affair
then outside grace was said then all do feed
Lots of kissing and hugging kinfolk share
A new baby on quilt sweet dreams he sleeps
Children run and play men talk of horses
As the women are talking up a storm
We sing our trio to the choruses
Family reunion of the Sherburne
Back inside join again the next refrains
In double springs overflowing melody
Feast of love and joy singing the Lord reigns
Enriching making the faith’s heart wealthy
Times change but some traditions never part
Singing and plucking the strings of the heart
