Yes, shining upon us with divine blessings

When I am gone
don’t you cry for me
Don’t you pity my soaring soul
The pains that might have been
will now be past
and my spirit will be whole

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground
I will be glory bound
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
don’t you cry for me
Don’t you pity my soaring soul
The pains that might have been
will now be past
and my spirit will be whole

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground
I will be glory bound
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
please forgive the wrongs
that I might have done to you
There’ll be no room for regrets up there
High above, way beyond the blue

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on way
I’ll have laid my frown and all my burdens down
I’ll be putting on my crown
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
don’t you look for me
in the places I have been
I’ll be alive but somewhere else
I’ll be on my way again

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I will lift my wings and soar into the air
There’ll be glory everywhere
I’ll be on way

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have laid my frown and all my burdens down
I’ll be putting on my crown
I’ll be on my way

I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground

I will be glory bound!

I’ll be on my way!

Salutation

Tags

BYU Choirs, Rabindranath Tagore, Ēriks Ešenvalds

In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out
and touch this world at thy feet.

Like a rain-cloud of July
hung low with its burden of unshed showers,
let all my mind bend down at thy door
in one salutation to thee.

Let all my songs
gather together their diverse strains
into a single current
and flow to a sea of silence
in one salutation to thee.

Like a flock of homesick cranes
flying night and day
back to their mountain nests,
let all my life take its voyage
to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.

Rabindranath Tagore

put to music by Ēriks Ešenvalds

performed to perfection by two amazing choirs:

Rabindranath Tagore‘s poem Salutation

set in music by Ēriks Ešenvalds

sung by the BYU Singers

In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out and touch this world at thy feet.

Like a rain-cloud of July
hung low with its burden of unshed showers
let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee.

Let all my songs gather together their diverse strains into a single current
and flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee.

Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day
back to their mountain nests
let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.
