No grief of night can weigh Against the joys that throng thy coming day. Sleep, little heart! There is no place in Slumberland for Tears: Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears And sorrows that will dim the after years. Sleep, little heart! II Ah, little eyes Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago, That life's storm crushed and left to lie below The benediction of the falling snow! Sleep, little heart That ceased so long ago its frantic beat! The years that come and go with silent feet Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet. Sleep, little heart. http://www.choirplace.com/profile/Nathaniel Matthew Curtis https://choraltracks.com/  less

The song 'Moon River' originally made famous in the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn. The soloists in this song are Andrea Hope and Alan Beattie. Inclusive is the word which probably best describes Open Arts Community Choir. It features people with disabilites and those without, from every section of the community in Northern Ireland. The age range is extensive, from seventeen to over seventy but most importantly members are united by their love of singing. The choir is directed in Belfast Northern Ireland by Beverley Whyte For more information visit: http://openarts.net  less

Life has cast me aside, leaving me devoid of hope. "For God's sake," you ask, but what more can I give? My story is etched upon my brow, every desire extinguished. There's no more fight left in me. Assez de larmes ont coulé de mes yeux. La vie m'a mis de côté, me laissant sans espoir. « Pour l'amour de Dieu », demandez-vous, mais que puis-je donner de plus ? Mon histoire est gravée sur mon front, tout désir éteint. Il n'y a plus de combat en moi. Conducted by Jad Harjane Arranged by Ismail Messari and Jad Harjane Video directed by Mohammed Ben Yekhlef at LADABATEK , Tangier Lyrics : Take my pain away Save me ! الله يا مولانا الله، الله يا الله مولانا الله يا مولانا حالي ما يخفاك يا الواحد ربي سبحان الحي الباقي سبحانك يا إله جود أعلي سبحان الحي الباقي سبحانك يا إله جود أعلي Save me Lord, Save me ! يكفاك ده البكا ...    less

An earthly tree a heavenly fruit it bear, A case of clay contained a crown immortal. A crown of crowns, a King whose cost and care Redeemed poor man, whose race before was thrall To death, to doom, to pains of everlasting, By His sweet death, scorns, stripes, and often fasting. A star above the stars, a sun of light, Whose blessed beams this wretched earth bespread With hope of heaven and of God's Son the sight, Which in our flesh and sinful soul lay dead. O faith, O hope, O joys renowned for ever, O lively life that deathless shall persevere. Then let us sing the lullabys of sleep To this sweet babe, born to awake us all From drowsy sin that made old Adam weep, And by his fault gave to mankind the fall. For lo! this day, the birth day, day of days, Summons our songs to give Him laud and praise.  less
