Thank you, Ed, for this request. I'm old, old school (older than dirt), so I knew this hymn. What was new to me was Patty's rendition of it. She has the presence of voice and the heart to sing this song with such impact. Thanks so much again and a big shout out to you Don, for his review!
Hi Phyliss, Glad you enjoyed Patty’s version. She has more soul in her little finger than 99% of all the country music artists have in their entire bodies. If you aren’t convinced, then go listen to “ You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive”. As always, love to read your posts. Be well my friend.
Thank you so much Montauk Ed for this excellent request! Everybody knows I'm a card carrying Patty fan, but her version of this song takes it to a level where I can no longer imagine any other version. Thanks Don for the insightful and thoughtful reaction, and for the appropriate rating!
This is a popular old hymn. Southern gospel. There are other verses and it is about the memories of those we love who have gone on to heaven. To see them again someday
This is an old gospel song from the 1920's. I've heard lots of versions, but Patty's is probably at the top of the list. But then again, Patty could sing the phone book and it would still be beautiful! Thank you Ed and Don!
Thank you Ed for this request of a great artist. This song was written J.B.F. Wright in 1925. It was first recorded in 1928 by The Turkey Mountain Singers. It has been covered by The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson among others. You can find this one on Patty's gospel album 'How Great Thou Art' released in 2008. Thanks Don for the reaction
I've never heard Patty sing this before. My favorite has always been Alan Jackson, but she brings so much soul to this song. Now I want to hear the rest of the songs in her gospel album. Thanks Ed and Don.
Patty sang this on the Opry in Nov 2007, dedicating it to one of her mentors who had recently passed away, Porter Waggoner. The Opry video is available. I'm pretty sure this audio is from that.
Thanks Ed, for of my favorite old gospel songs the old gospel has so much feeling, that today's gospel which sounds more like a rap or rock concert then Church music, just my opinion!! Thanks again

This is hymnal music. Won't ever find this in 'on the wall' Church singing. Like others have said, it's a common funeral song. Lovely rendition.
Nice - Everything Patty does is just Great - Brothers of the Heart do this with Mike Rogers doing the lead and it is REALLY GOOD

You’re welcome Terry. I think most of us appreciate Patty for the consummate country music singer/performer that she is.
This song is one of my favorites. I have heard many artists sing this and do a great job with it. Patty’s might be the best!!
Ed, one of my all time favorites. I really love it by Skeeter Davis from old long time ago. Alan Jackson does a nice job with it too.
She also sang with Vince Gill Go rest High on That Mountain, which is another song of memory of lost loved one up in heaven
Patty the best IMO

She is one of the greatest, in my opinion.
Probably Rebecca Lynn Howard on the female backing. Another Kentucky girl.

Your welcome Jeff. I adore Patty. Top 3 female country singers for me. Thanks to Don for appreciating Patty as well.
This is a song we used to sing a lot at funerals. So stillness of midnight is the hardest time to hurt for me. Precious Sacred scenes unfold.😢😢
Sitting and thinking after a major life event at midnight. Welcome to soulful southern gospel music.
Bet, the Angels in Heaven are smiling. 😊

You’re welcome Joyce. I appreciate your shout out.
My favorite is Willie Nelson version. We sang regularly in our church.
