[Verse 1]
Now I’ve been happy lately
Thinkin’ about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
[Verse 2]
Oh, I’ve been smilin’ lately
Dreamin’ about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it’s going to come
[Verse 3]
Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
[Bridge]
Now, I’ve been smiling lately
Thinkin’ about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
[Chorus]
Oh, peace train soundin’ louder
Glide on the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
Come on, now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
Come on, now peace train

[Verse 4]
Get your bags together
Go bring your good friends, too
Because it’s gettin’ nearer
It soon will be with you
[Bridge]
Now, come and join the livin’
It’s not so far from you
And it’s gettin’ nearer
Soon it will all be true
[Chorus]
Oh, peace train soundin’ louder
Glide on the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
Come on, now peace train
Peace train
[Verse 5]
Now, I’ve been cryin’ lately
Thinkin’ about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can’t we live in bliss?
[Verse 3]
Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
[Chorus]
Oh, peace train soundin’ louder
Glide on the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
Come on, now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
[Outro]
Come on, come on, come on
Yeah, come on, peace train
Yes, it’s the peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
Come on, now peace train
Peace train
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

…[1685 – 1750]
Ακούστε »»»‘Gloria in excelsis Deo‘, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, was actually part of a short mass that Bach presented as a gift to the Elector of Dresden. So the music was not intended for Leipzig and was not supposed to be performed there. A pity, and maybe Bach thought so too. We do not know precisely why and when he rewrote the gloria from the mass as a cantata. It is remarkable that Bach chose to use a Latin text for his Leipzig arrangement as well, as Latin church music was not common in Leipzig. But evidently an occasion presented itself, and Leipzig could thus enjoy Christmas music in regal style. Recorded for the project All of Bach on December 17th 2015 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden.

Album: After Midnight, 1956

They call
There is sorrow in his face
And sadness in his eyes
And if you look into the heart
Within the lonely one
You’ll find it’s been deceived
That broken was in lies.
With the longing to hide
All your heartaches and fears.
Is it wise to be cold, and to
Struggle, to hold back with tears.
If you could only see the boy
They call the lonely one,
You’d know that since you’re gone
The lonely one is me.
