Marian Anderson, singing at the Lincoln Memorial, April 9, 1939:
Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Glad you like.
Good day Sir! ;)
Haven't come around these parts for quite some time. Hope you're doing well.
Ms Anderson is a real gem and a wonderful model for all singer whether they wish to pursue a carreer in classical or jazz or any other kind of music.
I thought I also saw a clip of her signing Shubert's Ave Maria at that same event in Washington but coiuldn't find it anywhere on the web.
I never getting tired of listening to her rendition of spirituals and especially Deep River. I found this one though on YouTube:

Heureux de vous revoir, Jon! Thanks for the link - what a wonderful voice she had. I did hear a recording of her singing the Ave Maria years ago, and it was lovely.
