The Centennial Of Pete Seeger’s Birthday (1919-2014)- *In Pete Seeger's House- "Rainbow Quest"-Reverend Gary Davis Performing "Children Of Zion"

Click on title to link to YouTube's film clip of Pete Seeger's now famous 1960s (black and white, that's the give-away)"Rainbow Quest" for the performer in this entry's headline.

Markin comment:

This series, featuring Pete Seeger and virtually most of the key performers in the 1960s folk scene is a worthy entry into the folk archival traditions for future revivalists to seek out. There were thirty plus episodes (some contained more than one performer of note, as well as Pete solo performances). I have placed the YouTube film clips here one spot over four days, November 10-13, 2009 for the reader's convenience.

  1. Zion lyrics

    To priase Him with stringed instuments
    To praise Him with loud crashing cymbals
    To praise Him with calshing cymbals
    Let everything that has breath yes praise the LORD
    For we sing yes a new song to the Lord
    Yes a new song
    And let children of Zion
    Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
    Be joyful in our King's presence
    His royal majesty JESUS
    'Cause you see
    It will never be destroyed
    It will never be destroyed
    'Cause we are in and the children of within Zion
    The stronghold the fortress for eternity for eternity
    Back off
    As is bow I see the clouds
    Oh LORD help me hold me now
    As I celebrate in joy
    And I see your revelation
    And as we seek trueness in the skies
    I see the light and I see your face
    Oh take me there
    Zion oh LORD we are so
    Zion we are so
    Free
    Zion, zion, zion
    The joy I know
    The joy as I begin to close my eyes
    I now see everything that's below
    And as I rise to the throne above
    I inhale the trueness and positivity
    And as I begin to not even choke
    Through the darkness of this world I say
    What
    Here it comes in the clouds
    It will never be destroyed
    It will never be destroyed
    'Cause we are in and the children of within
    Zion oh LORD we are so
    Free
    Zion, zion, zion
    Joy and freedom
    So good to me
