“Faith of Our Fathers” #Music

Download “Faith of Our Fathers” Mp3

Today we celebrate Father’s Day in the United States. I wish all fathers and father figures a blessed, peaceful, and joyous day! And I pray each one of us feels the love of our Heavenly Father, today and every day!

“Faith of Our Fathers” is a beautiful Catholic hymn. Frederick William Faber wrote the text in 1849. The most common melody heard in the United States is “St. Catherine” by Henri F. Hemy.

I hope you enjoy this hymn, played on ukulele and viola, with accompanying shakers: A tiny rain stick, Little Spirit pear branch, Harmony Ball earth sphere, and Rhythm rock.

Happy Father’s Day!

Enjoy the celebration!

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

Refrain:
Happy birthday
To the Truth in you!

1. Your birthday is your earth day this run through,
A good time to remind yourself
What really makes you you,
A perfect day to celebrate
The Infinite in you.
Your birthday is your earth day this run through.
Refrain:

2. Your birthday is a way to mark your life,
And move you on the path that’s drawn
By God who knows the rhyme
And reason for the season
You are living in this time.
Your birthday is a way to mark your life.
Refrain:

3. Your birthday is a mirth day for your soul
That knows your place in time and space
And what you’re here to show.
The Infinite is still in it,
O you are not alone.
Your birthday is a mirth day for your soul.
Refrain: (Twice)

“Let the Lower Lights Be Burning” #Music

Download “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning” Mp3

Here’s another familiar hymn by Philip P. Bliss, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.” A further nod to my happy childhood days listening to record albums of songs I didn’t hear anywhere else, some of which I haven’t heard since, but have never forgotten.

Enjoy the Ocean Drum, one of Remo’s wonderful additions to the hand percussion world, and my Native-American-made deerskin drum as well. You’ll hear this soothing melody on lyre, then alto recorder accompanied by ukulele. I hope you enjoy this first of several sea-themed pieces I’ll be sharing in the coming days!

In the Fairy Meadow #Meditation #Poem

Download “In the Fairy Meadow” Mp3

Here in the meadow find a tree;
Absorb its calming energy.
‘Tis where the fairies dance and play,
And this could be your lucky day!

Against the tree you rest your back,
Releasing everything you lack.
In balance now from crown to root,
You just might hear a fairy flute!

Emotions buried out of sight,
You let them fly into the Light.
The sun and flowers clear your mind
And show you what you came to find.

You sit and wait in harmony;
You listen, listen carefully.
You softly, softly hear the sound
Of fairies dancing all around!

They bring a message just for you,
And in your heart, you know it’s true.
You take with you the fairy song
To give you hope and keep you strong.

You thank the firm and faithful tree
For offering its harmony.
From trees and fairies you have learned;
It’s time now for your safe return.

Each dawning brings another day
To hear the fairies dance and play!
The gentle magic they impart,
You carry with you – in your heart!
