Eliza Gilkyson: Requiem lyrics
Mother Mary, full of grace, awaken.
All our homes are gone, our loved ones taken,
Taken by the sea.
Mother Mary, calm our fears, have mercy,
Drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy,
Hear our mournful plea.
Our world has been shaken,
We wander our homelands forsaken.
In the dark night of the soul
Bring some comfort to us all,
Oh Mother Mary, come and carry, us in your embrace
That our sorrows may be faced.
Mary, fill the glass to overflowing,
Illuminate the path where we are going,
Have mercy on us all.
In funeral fires burning
Each flame to your mystery, returning.
In the dark night of the soul
Your shattered dreamers, make them whole,
Oh Mother Mary, find us where we've fallen out of grace,
Lead us to a higher place.
In the dark night of the soul
Our broken hearts you can make whole,
Oh Mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace,
Let us see your gentle face, Mary.

This is such a beautiful piece! My church choir performed it today and we'd like to record it for our website, on You Tube or Vimeo. Would you kindly advise us on obtaining permission regarding our use of this material for this purpose?
Many thanks
