Go in Peace

At last – a funeral song – No51 in AOV NG is “Go in Peace” by Sarah Hart and Dwight Liles.  They are experienced artists from the US and have collaborated on a gentle, appropriate hymn for the mourning. If Psalm 23 and “Abide with Me” aren’t for you, perhaps this is.  The You Tube video with just piano and vocals is probably a better approach than, the admittedly nice, arrangement on the CD and much better than my fussy hamfisted attempt at a backing.

Verse 1

There will be no more darkness.
There is no more night, no more night.
There will be no more sadness,
only joy and light, joy and light.
Lift your eyes beyond the hills
and see the dawn.
There is beautiful mercy
in the arms of the holy one.

Refrain
Go in peace, God be with you.
Go in peace, be at rest
with the saints and the angels.
Now you are free. Go in peace.

Verse 2

See the Father is waiting
with a robe of white, purest white.
Go and feast at his table
with the bread of life, bread of life.
Lift your heart, rejoice and sing
for you are home;
home at last and forever
in the arms of the holy one.

    Hi
    Lovely song. Our pastor has asked if our choir could learn it. Is there sheet music available anywhere, or does Sarah have a published collection?
    Thanks very much

      This song can be downloaded as an individual sheet from spiritandsong here:
      http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/66891

      It is also available, of course, in the As One Voice: Next Generation compilation, but also turns up in Spirit&Song Vol 2 which would be more available in the States.

      If you do buy from Spirit & Song, please let them know that you’ve been to this blog, they don’t seem to appreciate that church musicians sharing information is free advertising for them.

    Is there a MIDI file available for this song? We are a very small country church with a piano that plays MIDIs for me to sing along.
    Thanks much, God Bless.
