Shall We Gather At The River
“Shall We Gather at the River?” or simply “At the River” are the popular names for the traditional Christian hymn originally titled “Beautiful River” and subsequently titled “Hanson Place,” written by American poet and gospel music composer Robert Lowry (1826–1899).
We Shall Overcome
“We Shall Overcome” is a gospel song which became a protest song and a key anthem of the American civil rights movement. The song is most commonly attributed as being lyrically descended from “I’ll Overcome Some Day”, a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley that was first published in 1901.
I Will Follow
Where You go, I’ll go,
Where You stay, I’ll stay,
When You move, I’ll move,
I will follow You.
Psalm 13 (How Long, O Lord)
How long O Lord will You forget me,
How long O Lord will You look the other way.
I Have Decided To Follow Jesus
This is a folk song that originated in India as a song of new converts to Christianity among the Garo tribe who live in an area which is now the state of Meghalaya, but was until 1970, the state of Assam, in northeastern India. William J. Reynolds discovered the song in 1958 in a small undated collection of gospel songs that had been published in Australia. With two original stanzas, and a third by John Clark, the melody was arranged by Reynolds and first published in Assembly Songbook (Nashville, 1959, No. 17). The tune [ASSAM] was named by the arranger for inclusion in Christian Praise (1964).
