Sing To Me Of Heaven

There are moments in our choir journey when we need a piece that simply offers comfort, and "Sing To Me Of Heaven" does exactly that. It is a gentle, reflective hymn that looks beyond the weariness of our daily struggles toward the promise of eternal rest. The words ask for a song of peace to lift the heavy burdens of life, painting a picture of a fairer region where old friends and angels gather.

We often bring this piece out during funerals or memorial Masses. When the congregation is grieving, singing about the "golden glory" and "pearly gleam" of heaven helps shift the focus from earthly sorrow to heavenly hope. The melody itself feels like a soothing lullaby, especially in the chorus where the voices blend to ask for that sweet song as the "shadows of the evening fall."

For the choir, the beauty of this hymn lies in its quiet sincerity. It does not demand overpowering volume; instead, it asks for a tender, blended sound. Singing it reminds us that the music we share is sometimes the very thing that brings release to a heavy heart, offering a glimpse of the peace that awaits us.
