Description

Hills Of The North, Rejoice - Christian Hymn & Spiritual Song Lyrics with Orchestral backing music.

LYRICS:
Hills of the North, Rejoice
Words: Charles Oakley (1832-1865).
Tune: LITTLE CORNARD Martin Shaw (1915)
Alt: DARWAL John Darwall, 1770.

1 Hills of the North, rejoice;
River and mountain spring,
Hark to the advent voice;
Valley and lowland, sing;
Though absent long, your Lord is nigh;
He judgment brings and victory.

2 Isles of the southern seas,
Deep in your coral caves
Pent be each warring breeze,
Lulled be your restless waves:
He comes to reign with boundless sway,
And makes your wastes His great highway.

3 Lands of the East, awake,
Soon shall your sons be free;
The sleep of ages break,
And rise to liberty.
On your far hills, long cold and gray,
Has dawned the everlasting day.

4 Shores of the utmost West,
Ye that have waited long,
Unvisited, unblest,
Break forth to swelling song;
High raise the note, that Jesus died,
Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified.

5 Shout, while ye journey home;
Songs be in every mouth;
Lo, from the North we come,
From East, and West, and South.
City of God, the bond are free,
We come to live and reign in thee!

FOR SINGERS: where possible, these recordings are mostly formatted as follows:

Centre: Soprano (violin/piccolo/flute/cello), Bass (Acoustic Bass/Contrabass)

Right 100% Alto (clarinet), Left 100% Tenor (oboe/tuba/trombone)


The lyrics display is formatted like the sort of projection you might see in a church, thus I hope, making them useful in a worship setting, perhaps also for choir practice as most of the arrangements are based on the SATB model.

The SONG VERSIONS used are the original or traditional versions of the song. However, in some cases, I may have also provided variant versions with different tunes, standard / full verses or different instrumentation, this is to reflect the requirements of different denominations or traditions.
