lyrics

upon the mountain's distant head
by william cullen bryant

upon the mountain’s distant head,
with trackless snows forever white,
where all is still and cold and dead
late shines the day’s departing light.

but far below those icy rocks,
the vales, in summer bloom arrayed,
woods full of birds and fields of flocks,
are dim with mist and dark with shade.

’tis thus from warm and kindly hearts,
and eyes where generous meanings burn,
early the light of life departs,
but lingers with the cold and stern.

The Field Hymnal Holland, Michigan

Angelee Berrian - vocals

Luke Panning - fiddle

Jared DeMeester - bass

Nate Roberts - mandolin

Rooted firmly in bluegrass but with a love for new sounds as well, The Field Hymnal draws inspiration from nature and poetry, and from jokes told poorly by dear friends. If music can be a meeting place, The Field Hymnal is a door that is always open, with food on the table and laughs to be shared.
