Land on the Shore
Land on the Shore
traditional, arr. by Peter Amidon
performed by the Guilford (VT) Community Church UCC Choir, Zara Bode solo, Cathy Martin piano. I first learned this song from the singing of Buna Hicks on this Folk Legacy recording. I learned this more accessible version from Jefferson Hamer and traced his version back to Village Harmony/Northern Harmony founder Larry Gordon.

LYRICS
Oh, mothers now our meeting is over,
Mothers we must part,
And if I never see you anymore
I'll love you in my heart.
Yes we'll land on the shore, yes we'll land on the shore,
Yes we'll land on the shore, and be saved forevermore.
fathers, sisters, brothers, dear friend
