Morning of Joy-Horatius Bonar

From Johann Sebastian Bach · 3:32:22

Show by Herbert Francis Peyser

Morning of Joy by Horatius Bonar.I have been asked, once and again, to follow up " The Night of Weeping " with "The Morning of Joy," the words of David, in the 30th Psalm, having suggested the addition. After much thought and some hesitation I have done so. The former work was meant to be complete in itself, presenting not merely the night-side of tribulation, but bringing out also, though less prominently, some of its day-hues. As, however, it has been thought incomplete, having in it so much more of night than of clay; an endeavour has been made to complete it by drawing forward the eye to the scenes of morning, so soon to open upon us, in all their breadth and beauty. In this way we are led to forget the things that are behind, and to reach forward to those before, pressing towai-ds the mark for the prize of our high calling.Featured on Johann Sebastian Bach.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
