Just like to share another song that my Dad loved to sing with his Horster Mannenkoor in Horst, Limburg/The Netherlands.
He has been a great 1st tenor—Dad's voice is easily heard!
In begin 1990s Dad gave us a cassette tape with some of the songs they sang.
Did digitalize a few of those songs—wish I had the original but this already made my singing heart happy...
Enjoy:
Dad is seen 2nd from left, bottom row and my Uncle Jan is on the left.

THANK YOU LORD:
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, lord, for making me whole
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free
Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free
Thank you Lord, my Lord

Dag Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWat mooi dat je vader en oom meezingen in het koor.
(ik luister graag naar het Urker mannenkoor en ook in ons dorp hebben we een goed mannenkoor)
Liefs en fijne dag,
Hilly
Beste Hilly,
DeleteJa, dat was zeker mooi en wij kwamen vanuit Georgia ook naar de concerten die ze gaven.
Papa heeft een Oorkonde van het Koninklijk Nederlands Zangersverbond voor Mannenkoorzang gedurende 80 jaren.
Het Urker Mannenkoor is erg goed en ook fijn dat in jullie dorp ook een goed Mannenkoor is!
Liefs,
Mariette
What a beautiful church. I enjoyed the video. Thank you, Mariette.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and Pieter.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThank you and it indeed is a beautiful Church—newly built after the previous one got destroyed during WWII.
It was not yet ready when I got baptized—so I got baptized in an emergency Church.
My sister and all consecutive siblings got baptized there.
Hugs,
Mariette
Gorgeous church and gorgeous hymn, Mariette. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteYes, both are true and that hymn especially has a lot of meaning!
Such a treasure memory when I hear Dad's voice above the other choir members...
We all ought to consider this text more often!
Hugs,
Mariette
Bellissima chiesa!Tuo padre era un tenore che onore!
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteGrazie mille e davvero sono orgoglioso del suo talento canoro!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Olá, Mariette, gosto imensamente de igrejas, da paz que
ReplyDeleteirradiam, do respeito que irradiam. São momentos únicos.
Tenho no meu outro blog, várias igrejas, maravilhosas.
O coro é lindo!
Um feliz fim de semana para você e Pieter.
Grande abraço aos amigos.
Querida Taís,
DeleteObrigado e sim, a arquitetura das Igrejas e a importância que eles têm desempenhado na vida de nossos entes queridos é tão especial.
Pode-se facilmente ouvir a voz de primeiro tenor do papai e isso me faz feliz.
Abraços de volta para você e Pedro,
Pieter & Mariette
Beautiful hymn, amazing choir!
