Oh, my goodness! Memories of high school and learning to play guitar chords. I was part of a youth group that sang this and other songs at the Folk Mass...
@@blackybounce I think this tempo is just about right so that the assembly can join in the singing and not have any trouble. It just seems too slow and very dirge-like because the guitarists rhythm pattern is pretty generic....the sheet music says "brightly" so they could put in more of a "bright" feel for this one and also try to add some variety to the patterns of strumming/picking so it doesn't all sound the same. Should be way more rhythmic and joyful! Edit:. This is not the original key, the guitars are using capos to make it sound higher than it's written. No clue as to why they do that, assemblies sing better in a lower key. I would use some more instruments as well, there is a keyboard part in the book you mentioned and I would also add a bass player and some light percussion. The singers sound beautiful though, I've been with far worse believe me 😱
@@jonjoylab1841 yes it is a catholic song that was originally written for the 3rd Sunday of Easter in the A cycle of readings. The refrain is from the entrance antiphon which is a line from Psalm 66. Verse 1 is from Luke's gospel story about the road to Emmaus I especially like the line "don't you know?". I think the verses are best done by a solo voice and it should be sung as "doncha know?" in true folk style

Who wrote this song? Very beautiful
Let All the Earth by Gary Ault. It can be found in an older Catholic hymn Glory & Praise vol.2. Such a great song - I tend to play it much faster :)
