I can never hear this beloved, old-fashioned hymn without thinking of my Uncle Bernie, a wonderful, big-hearted man who late in life finally achieved his dream of being ordained as a minister in the Methodist Church. This hymn was one of his favorites–Shall We Gather at the River, sung by Burl Ives.
Sorry I’m late–wanted to get my bike ride in before it rained.
What a wonderful memory of your uncle – and Burl Ives is always a treat. Thanks, Lee.
wonderful, w.
