 listen to Hear de Lambs A-Cryin'

Performed by Chicago a cappella, in concert
February, 2010


I heard an old recording of Marion Anderson singing this piece and fell in love with it.

Special thanks to chicago a cappella for a superb performance at the 2006 American Guild of Organists' National Convention and again in their concert of February, 2010 and allowing me to use their recording on my site.

 

 TEXT

(Chorus)
You hear de lambs a-cryin', hear de lambs a-cryin',
hear de lambs acryin’, oh, shepherd, feed-a my sheep.

My savior spoke these words so sweet.
oh, shepherd, feed-a my sheep.
Saint Peter if you love me feed my sheep.
oh shepherd feed-a my sheep.

(Chorus)

Oh my Lord I love thee thou dost know.
oh, shepherd, feed-a my sheep.
Oh, give me grace to love Thee more.
oh, shepherd, feed-a my sheep.

(Chorus)
