Onward

Alfie Boe Onward Lyrics
1.A living prayer

Lyricist:Alison Krauss
Writer(s):Alison Krauss

In this world I walk alone
With no place to call my home
But there's one who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
The Savior lives inside me there

In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee

In these trials of life I find
Another voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives

In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee

Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
A living prayer, my God to Thee

Lyricist:Aled Jones
Writer(s):Aled Jones

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
Deep peace of Christ, of Christ
The light of the world to you
Deep peace of Christ to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the their healing light
And the light by beside to you
Deep peace of Christ to you.

4.The Lord is my shepherd (Psalm 23)


5.I vow to thee my country

Lyricist:Cecil A. Spring-Rice, 1918.
Writer(s):Thaxted, Gustav T. Holst, The Planets, 1921

I vow to thee, my country

I vow to thee, my country - all earthly things above

Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best

The love that never falters, the love that pays the price

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice



And there's another country, I've heard of long ago

Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
King
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are
peace.

And all her paths are peace.



6.I wonder as I wander

Lyricist:John Jacob Niles
Writer(s):John Jacob Niles

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky


7.Dear Lord and Father of Mankind


8.Balulalow (from Ceremony of Carols)( )

Lyricist:Gerald Bullett
Writer(s):Benjamin Britten

O my deir hert, young Jesus sweit,
Prepare thy creddil in my spreit,
And I sall rock thee to my hert
And never mair from thee depart.

But I sall praise thee evermore
With sangis sweit unto thy gloir;
The knees of my heart sall I bow,
Sall I bow,
And sing that richt Balulalow!
And sing that richt Balulalow!
The knees of my heart sall I bow,
And sing that richt Balulalow

O my deir hert, young Jesus sweit,
Prepare thy creddil in my spreit,
And I sall rock thee to my hert
And never mair from thee depart.
To my hert, to my hert, to my hert


9.Ave Verum Corpus


10.Be Still my Soul


11.Cujus Animam (from Stabat Mater)


12.You'll never walk alone

Lyricist:Oscar Hammerstein II
Writer(s):Richard Rodgers

When you walk through a storm,
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm there's a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone.
