<p>Another Lomax recording, this one from the 1959 United Sacred Harp Convention.</p>
<p><em>Ye golden lamps of heav’n, farewell, / With all your feeble light, / Farewell, thou ever changing moon, / Pale empress of the night.</em><br />
<em> And thou, refulgent orb of day, / In brighter flames arrayed, / My soul which springs beyond thy sphere, / No more demands thy aid.</em></p>

As you can see in this live video, featuring Tom Morello:</p>
