Ecce Quam Bonum (Caitlin's Song)

from The Sewanee Songs by Forest Mountain Hymnal

/

about

Written and recorded for our beloved Caitlin on the occasion of her graduation from Sewanee back in 2010. YSR forever!

lyrics

Behold how good a thing it is
For brethren to dwell in unity.
Behold how good a thing it is
For brothers to dwell as one.
Ecce quam bonum!

My friends we're standing at the great divide
And you must go out on your own.
How strange to think that you were once a child
Now setting for forth to forge yourself a home.
Know that though we're far apart
You're never alone!

Caitlin, even when I'm old and grey,
I'll picture you standing in the sun,
A daffodil worn sweetly in your windy hair,
A smile for the afternoon to come-
A smile for Springtime ending the Summer begun.

Behold how good a thing it is.
Behold how beautiful too.
Recall the friendship that we all have shared.
Recall this melody for you.
Ecce quam bonum!
Ecce quam bonum!
Ecce quam bonum!
