Has anyone been able to locate the sheet music for The Darker the Night? Any help in locating it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The copyright is owned by John Bava. Not sure if he wrote it, but likely so... From 1959

Hi, Does anyone know who wrote "The Darker the Night"? Thanks, Phyllis

What a wonderful memory jog.
Jerry Toll taught us this at Camp in the 50's

Thanks for the words. They really helped me. Its now easier to sing the song since I know the lyrics

To: cmackirnan: Yes, if you have time, I also would like to have the notes to "THE HASH CHORUS" We didn't sing it much, but it does sound familiar.

my E-mail is: [email protected]

Thanks.
Leon

Good luck trying to find sheet music to the Hash Chorus -- as far as I know it's a campfire-type song. I could write it down for you, I suppose, but at this point I don't have sheet music notation software -- would have to hand-write it on staff paper, then scan it in and e-mail it to you or something. Only two lines actually follow the tunes of the songs they were taken from, and those are

Line one "every day with Jesus", and
Line five "I will make you fishers of men".

I will see if I can write it down (in single notes).

Thanks for the words to the Hash Chorus. Anyone know where I can get the music?

Dear Mary Lou,

Here are the words my father taught me, and used in various youth ministries, quite a few years ago now:

Every day with Jesus
I'll be walking on the King's Highway.
Tell me the old, old story,
I love it better every day, Hallelujah!
I will make you fishers of men
if you'll only follow me.
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
I'm from sin set,
you're from sin set,
we're all from sin set free!
