Superb, Concordia Choir, thank you René Clausen. Poignant expressive tone in tenor solo. Finding this send me back...church basement potluck meals, endless hours on the bus, getting the acoustic shell set up, some of us responsible for the spots in 1983-1985, and then out we went, welcoming audiences in steaming hot Florida, in steaming hot Houston, Texas, in snow-covered MN hamlets, and here it is again, the same feeling still there. One voice, though many, one emotion finely hone, our conductor looking at you with that intense blue gaze, his passion for music, letting the music out through us. Where else can you find many doing one thing in perfect harmony like you can in choral singing.
***** Listening to your solos, Peter, was a great inspiration to me. I will always marvel at the Basses and Tenors of those years with PJ and his choirs.
Here are the lyrics: MY SONG IN THE NIGHT Southern Folk Hymn arr. Paul J. Christiansen O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night, Come to us with Thy tender love, my soul’s delight. Unto Thee, O Lord, in affliction I call, My comfort by day, and my song in the night. O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert Thy face to see? My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight, O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night. My song in the night, my song in the night, in the night, in the night, in the night. O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night. Come to us with Thy tender love, my soul’s delight. My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight, O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night. My song my song in the night, in the night, my song My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight. O Jesus my savior, my song in the night, in the night. My song in the night.

Same exact experience with Paul J's son, Sigurd Christiansen. We share a common bond, all of us lucky to have been touched by these experiences.

Here are the lyrics:
MY SONG IN THE NIGHT
Southern Folk Hymn
arr. Paul J. Christiansen
O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night,
Come to us with Thy tender love,
my soul’s delight.
Unto Thee, O Lord, in affliction I call,
My comfort by day, and my song in the night.
O why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
Or cry in the desert Thy face to see?
My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight,
O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night.
My song in the night, my song in the night,
in the night, in the night, in the night.
O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night.
Come to us with Thy tender love,
my soul’s delight.
My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight,
O Jesus my Savior, my song in the night.
My song my song in the night,
in the night, my song
My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight.
O Jesus my savior, my song in the night,
in the night. My song in the night.
Sang this lovely arrangement in college MANY years ago. This is awfully slow but nicely schmaltzy. I also like Mack Wilberg's arrangement.
Miss the soprano solo.
