“The Promise of Living”..........Aaron Copland (1900-1990)
from The Tender Land
Wind Symphony and Grand Chorus
Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Conductor

The promise of living
with hope and thanksgiving
is born of our loving
our friends and our labor.

The promise of growing
with faith and with knowing
is born of our sharing
our love with our neighbor.

The promise of living
the promise of growing
is born of our singing
in joy and thanksgiving.

For many a year I’ve known this field
and know all the work that makes her yield.
Are you ready to lend a hand?

I’m ready to work, I’m ready to lend a hand.

By working together we’ll bring in the harvest,
the blessings of harvest.

We’ll bring in the harvest,
the blessings of harvest.

We plant each row with seeds of grain,
and providence sends us the sun and the rain.

We plough and plant each row with
seeds of grain.

By lending a hand,
by lending an arm,
bring out, bring out from the farm,
bring out the blessings of harvest.

Bring out from the land,
bring out the blessings of harvest.

Oh let us be joyful,
oh let us be grateful,
come join us in thanking
the Lord for his blessing.
Give thanks there was sunshine,
give thanks there was rain,
give thanks we are here
to deliver the grain.
Oh let us be joyful,
oh let us be grateful
to the Lord for his blessing.

The promise of ending
in right understanding
is peace in our own hearts
and peace with our neighbor.
O let us sing our song,
and let our song be heard.
Let’s sing our song with our hearts,
and find a promise in that song.

The promise of living,
the promise of growing,
the promise of ending,
is labor and sharing and loving.
