• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Hi All

I have been trying to find the sheet music by Janet Linker_How great Thou art.

I was just wondering if there is anyone who can assist with the sheet music.

Your help will be appreciated!

There are several collections of music on sheetmusicplus

More specifically: How Great Thou Art. One can purchase directly from them - I have purchased from this outfit many times.

Her biographical information appears on the Lorenz Publishing site here.

Kh :cool:

Take it away gvballa!

dub dub dub dub dub and then he's dyin',
with all the nations cryin',
His life He shed, to prove He could come back,
it's been so long, the faith is getting fainter,
a new worst of times, a pollution watershed.

so sings my soul, as I feel the healing,
He's there for me, when I can't even kneel.
let all our souls, be as one as we are singing,
express our art, for how great Thou are.

I see new skies, as new rain falls that's sticking,
the new ashes of shame, just fell on me.
As my eyes struggle, to see past helpless horizons,
what dominion, have you given over me?

So hear the sound, of all these devices,
we work around, this electric misery.
We force our earth, sucked through copper coils,
the spun spinning, the spin winning, our negative energy.

"So sings the wire, dividing up our skies,
while satellites, micro-wave our minds.
We pay the bills, the wars we subsidize,
how code their art, how sold we are."

Krummhorn, thank you, yes thank you, when it could be so easy to offend.

I'm actually editing these in real life and saying I'm writing additional verses for traditional hymns,
and people are listening.
A man I didn't know came up to me in No Frills, and said "you're the bank robber".
I was taken aback at first, but he was smiling and was saying, I know you, I know you,
with maybe a heavy Greek accent, something like that.
He started talking about food and how rough humanity is getting, chemicals, sounding scientific,
and then he asked me if I would go with him tonight for a meeting with a pastor.
He says the pastor comes to visit his group of five or six, and he'd give me a ride.

When I said I might not fit in, writing new verses for traditional hymns, he just looked at me,
so I said a verse and he was nodding along like it was okay.
This made me feel good enough to ask him if there was going to be any cookies.
Last week, in St. Catharines, I was asked if I could get up in a church and talk.
This would be a migrant worker church for Caribbean islanders.
I would have gone if I could have got there, so we've been exchanging email.

Now Krummhorn, I've seen enough of you here and know of your professional career,
lots of gigs in churches, maybe cathedrals.
This isn't so much about me as it is the Holy Bible I have and my explanations.
Here's a scan to only be real about it, and as you can see,
my Holy Bible doesn't end at Revelation.
Anyone can say scanning it this was isn't being respectful, or worse,
and I felt like an idiot folding it out and pressing it down.
I can rotate this in my pictures, and re-title it,
but even with the re-title, the original scan shows with the new title.
Hmm! A thread like How Great Thou Art should be able to handle this.

I know what you are saying, when you say I'm a hoot, a deep compliment,
about a deep enjoyment, and a primary word, like watt, like crumb.
I am glib compared to that. yeah, no gosh dangs or gollies for you.
