My heart is overflowing with good news!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
The daughter of the king is glorious inside
her dress is made with gold!
wearing a crown she is brought to the king
her bridesmaids follow her!
they will be brought to you
with joy they meet their king!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
I will cause your name to be renounded in every generation!
that is why the nations will give thanks to you forever and forever!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
you have loved what is right, and hated what is wrong!
that is why your god has annointed you
over all the rest with the oil of joy!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
My heart is overflowing with good news!
The queen takes her place at your right hand!
notes:
I learned to play guitar on my sister's 3/4 size Global 111 with a Gordon Lightfoot songbook.
This hymn, as I play it, is fingerpicked, in his style.
Beatrice could be harmonized on organ with high reed triplets, 4 triplets to a measure,chords, and ascending pedal bass runs.I realize that this would be a task beyond the skill of many organists, but the coronation of mary is worthy of the effort. You may make it so.
With thanks to Dante Allegheri (beatrice leads Dante out of the inferno,through purgatory, to paradise.)
Thanks to Dr. Bruno Arcudi, who carefully read la divina commedia to me over two semesters at the University of Buffalo.
Jesus is Lord!
