Sing From the Heart Available online Dec. 13-20 Dr. Brian Pfoltner, Artistic & Executive Director, Arts for the Soul Music & Fine Arts Series at First Presbyterian Sonata No. 1 in F minor for Organ, Mvt. 2, Adagio Felix Mendelssohn “When Peace Like a River” Charles W. Ore, organ; Susan Twiehaus, vocalist When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” African-American Spiritual Dr. Vena Alesio, soloist Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, A long ways from home. Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone, A long ways from home. “God Is My Shepherd”, from Biblical Songs Antonín Dvořák Susan Twiehaus, soloist God is my shepherd, I want for nothing. My rest is in the pleasant meadows, He leadeth me where quiet waters flow! My fainting soul doth He restore, and guideth me in the ways of peace, to glorify His name. And though in death's dark valley my steps must wander, my spirit shall not fear, for Thou art by me still; Thy rod and staff are with me, and they shall comfort me.
