Albertine

That's the title of Brooke Fraser's latest CD, which was distributed throughout the U.S. of A. last year, 2008. What a fabulous CD! I've wanted to get it for a long time, and since no one got it for me as a gift, I broke down and bought it myself. :-) Her sound is acoustic, and simple, with great, GREAT lyrics and melodies. It's only just over 45 minutes, and I wish there was more! One song, in particular, that's just beautiful is the last song on the album, simply titled "Hymn." It's become my prayer, and I've shared the lyrics below. Enjoy, and may this be the prayer of all who believe.

Hymn

words and music by Brooke Fraser

~

if to distant lands I scatter

if I sail to farthest seas

would you find and firm and gather

'til I only dwell in Thee?

~

if I flee from greenest pastures

would you leave to look for me?

forfeit glory to come after

'til I only dwell in Thee

~

if my heart has one ambition

if my soul one goal to seek

this my solitary vision

'til I only dwell in Thee

~

that I only dwell in Thee

'til I only dwell in Thee
