    WHEN WINTER CALLS (2005)
    Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly are again full of surprises in their ninth CD as they explore traditional American and Celtic folk music with a winter holiday theme. Recorded live in December 2004 at the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland, RI, this beautifully recorded concert is filled with deeply rooted songs of winter, travel, longing, worship, rest, light, and celebration. Gorgeous, seasoned voices blend with skillful instrumentation on mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistle, feet, limberjacks, and spoons.
    Happy holidays!

about

The Truth Sent From Above
Traditional English Carol

lyrics

This is the truth sent from above
The truth of God, the God of love;
Therefore don’t turn me from your door
But hearken all, both rich and poor

The first thing, which I do relate
It is that God, did man create
The next thing, which to you I'll tell
Woman was made with man to dwell

Thus we were heirs to endless woes
Till God the Lord did interpose
And so a promise soon did run
That He’d redeem us by his Son

And at that season of the year
Our blest Redeemer did appear
He here did live, and here did preach
And many thousands He did teach

Thus He in love to us behaved
To show us how we must be saved
And if you want to know the way
Be pleased to hear what He did say

God grant to all within this place
True saving faith—that special grace
Which to all people doth belong—
And thus we close our Christmas song
