Re: All is Well

["Susan Ives" <suives@texas.net>]

"Julian of Norwich" was written by Sydney Carter, who also wrote the words
to "Lord of the Dance" set to the tune of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts."
The copyright on the song is 1981.
According to the notes in "Rise Up Singing," Julian  (1342-1416) was
considered on the the greatest mystics of medieval times. She had a room in
Norwich Cathedral which had one opening facing outward (for the people who
streamed to her for solace and advice) and a second opening facing inward
towards the sanctuary.
The words are:
"Loud are the bells of Norwich and the people come and go
Here by the tower of Julian I tell you what I know
Ring out bells of Norwich and let the winter come and go
All will be well again, I know
Love, like the yellow daffodil is coming through the snow
Love, like the yellow daffodil is Lord of all I know"
I agree - the really is a lovely, haunting song.
