Álbum How Great Thou Art de Elvis Presley - Canciones
How Great Thou Art
Reseña
Con How Great Thou Art, de 1967, Elvis Presley entrega su segundo álbum de música góspel, una obra de una belleza y una devoción que le valió su primer premio Grammy. Por lo tanto, en este trabajo, el artista vuelve a sumergirse en la música de sus raíces, en un momento en que su carrera cinematográfica se encontraba en un punto bajo. De hecho, el disco es un refugio artístico y espiritual.
En consecuencia, la producción del álbum es de una gran calidad, con arreglos que fusionan la tradición del góspel con el pop y el country. La interpretación de Elvis Presley, acompañado por el cuarteto The Imperials, es de una pasión y una fuerza sobrecogedoras.
Además, la canción que da título al disco, "How Great Thou Art", es una de las interpretaciones más poderosas y emocionantes de toda su carrera. Por otro lado, el álbum también incluye el clásico "Crying in the Chapel" como bonus track.
En definitiva, 'How Great Thou Art' es una obra maestra del góspel y un testimonio de que, para Elvis Presley, esta música era el verdadero alimento para su alma de artista.

[X]letra de Farther Along
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by - Stand by Me 2:29
- Without Him 2:32

[X]letra de By and By
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by
Well children by and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand him better by and by
And we'll understand him better by and by
- If the Lord Wasn't Walking byMy Side 1:40
- Run On 2:24
- Where No One Stands Alone 2:44

[X]letra de Crying in the Chapel
You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where all good people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I searched and I searched but I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the wayComposición: Artie Glenn - Peace in the Valley 3:21
