about

A friend introduced me to the work of Robert Burns, an 18th century Scottish poet. His words moved me deeply and I decided to set this poem to music. We captured Cris Jacobs’ amazing performance that brought this haunting song to life. He’s joined by two of my favorite singers, Audie Blaylock on tenor and Aaron McCune on bass.

lyrics

O Thou Great Being! what Thou art,
Surpasses me to know:
Yet sure I am, that known to Thee
Are all Thy works below.

Thy creature here before Thee stands,
All wretched and distrest;
Yet sure those ills that wring my soul
Obey Thy high behest.

Sure Thou, Almighty, canst not act
From cruelty or wrath!
O, free my weary eyes from tears,
Or close them fast in death!

But if I must afflicted be,
To suit some wise design;
Then man my soul with firm resolves
To bear and not repine!
