God to Enfold Me

Baker Hall, Zoellner Arts Center, Lehigh University


Wade in the water.
Wade in the water, children.
Wade in the water.
God's gonna trouble the water.

See that band all dressed in white?
The leader looks like an Israelite.
See that band all dressed in red?
It looks like the band that Moses led.

Jordan's waters are chilly and cold.
It chills the body but not the soul.
Jordan's waters are deep and wide.
I'll meet my friends on the other side.

Text:

Draw on, Sweet Night, friend unto those cares
That do arise from painful melancholy.
My life so ill through want of comfort fares,
that unto thee I consecrate it wholly.
Sweet Night, draw on
My griefs when they be told to shades
and darkness find some ease from paining,
And while thou all in silence dost enfold,
I then shall have best time for my complaining.

The Heroine Triumphant links four songs of the 1890s which together trace the story of a young girl who comes to town in search of her brother (“Mother Was a Lady”); she is cruelly deceived by a drummer, an unscrupulous low-life, claiming to know her brother.  He proposes marriage, but in “Take Back Your Gold we find his intentions are less than honorable.  The heroine finds herself alone and cast out in “She Is More To Be Pitied Than Censured.”  Finally, she rises above her misery and woe to find a new life in “Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay!”

The opening barbershop quartet may be sung by a small ensemble, but the character voices of the narrator and the drummer should be assigned to soloists.  The Heroine Triumphant easily lends itself to some simple staging.

The Heroine Triumphant - Steven Sametz

Magnificat anima mea Dominum
et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnet,
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est:
et sanctum nomen ejus.

Et misericordia a progenie in progenies
in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo dispersit superbos
mente cordis sui Deposuit potentes de sede,
et exaltavit humiles.

Esurientes implevit bonis:
et divites inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum
recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini ehus in saecula.

Gloria Patri, et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc, at semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.

Amen.
