Barclay James Harvest - Hymn Lyrics






Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
The people said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
And said he was the saviour of us all

For this we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

    I was driving home last November, 2018, with the radio on but not really listening.  Then a song playing caught my attention. It caught my attention so much that I pulled off the road to listen and find the song title and group. Got home and googled Barclay James Harvest and Hymn and the rest is history. Firmly on my favourites list. Great song.

  28. J.... D....

    Their most beautiful song

  29. G.... B....

    have always loved this song, in my pot-smoking youth days, i didn't appreciate the lyrics. now i do, thank You Jesus for rescuing me!

    Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
    Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
    The people said it was a virgin birth
    Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
    The people said it was a virgin birth
    The people said it was a virgin birth
    He told great stories of the Lord
    And said he was the saviour of us all
    He told great stories of the Lord
    And said he was the savior of us all
    And said he was the savior of us all
    For this we killed him, nailed him up high
    He rose again as if to ask us why
    Then he ascended into the sky
    As if to say in God alone you soar
    As if to say in God, alone we fly
    Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
    Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
    If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
    You stand up there with your head in the clouds
    Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
    Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

    Hymn (often misinterpreted as Christian song but actually a song against the dangers of drug use and dedicated to musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Paul Kossoff and Janis Joplin)[1] was a successful turntable hit at German radio stations in the late 1970s.

  52. L.... P....

    Fantastic group and yes I agree they should have had more air play in uk

    I still remember... i was in the 5th class... one morning comes a buddy from my class into the bus and was sad. I asking him what's happening. He said to me: I'm so sorry... a girl from our class is dead. It was a moment ... i can't describe. I asking why... he saying: This girl and her mom was dying,her dad killing them with a an axt. This day was horrible. This song brings memorys back... I'm so sorry about that I never saying to this girl,that i like her Voice and that she was a beautiful girl... Now I'm 33 and i can't forget the last day on that I saw her pretty smile 😔😓... but it was a beautiful funeral.

    Hymn...

    Wird mich ewig an Marianne Bachmeier erinnern, die damals 1980 im Lübecker Gericht den Mörder ihrer Tochter erschossen hat.
    Nach Verbüßung ihrer Haftstrafe zog sie nach Italien, sie starb wenige Jahre später an Krebs in Lübeck.
    Sie hatte Mut, ging mit der Knarre ins Gericht und hat den Drecksack erschossen, der ihr das allerliebste nahm.
    Sie hatte MUT !!!
    Und WIR ???

    Übrigens:
    "Hymn" wurde bei der Beisetzung ihrer Tochter Anna am Friedhof gespielt.

    M.... K....

    Beste Story. Wer hat soviel Mut? Wahnsinn... wenn manche könnten wie sie wollten... sie WÜRDEN. 👌 Danke

    M.... K....

    "Bachmeier" mein "Vorbild" sowie auch die Musik!!

    M.... K....

    Ja, das Musikstück lief in der Verfilmung von 1984 Der Fall Bachmeier – Keine Zeit für Tränen

    M.... K....

    Bullshit. Wofür oder gegen wen sollen "wir" den Mut Marianne Bachmeiers denn einsetzen? Ich ahne es.

    Genießt den Song und spart euch die Erweckungslyrik.

    M.... K....

    Thanks a lot Jesus for having rescued me even if i paid the amount unbelieveble. Too much sufferin but necessary ro understand

  82. T.... M....

    BJH's understated music has stood the test of time.
    Their gesture of performing 'In Memory of the Martyrs' in Berlin - burned to the ground by our hated (Ruling Class) with all the people in it just a few decades before - was a gesture bordering on genius.

  94. g.... o....

    Cette musique de Barclay James me rappelle une époque douloureuse de ma vie.En effet je sors de Douala(LTD) et viens habiter chez mon frère ainé Atangana nouvellement recruté à la Regifercam et affecté à Edéa,mon frère n'a pas les moyens de m'inscrire au lycée.Je me gêne à la maison toute l'année scolaire et n'ai pour seule distraction qu'un vieux tourne-disques et quelques albums Jimmy Cliff,Lynda Ronstadt,BOB Marley etc... que lui meme raffolait tant parmi lesquels celui-ci qui est devenu pour moi une rengaine que je continue à mimer jusqu'à ce jour beaucoup d'année après.

  95. J.... B....

    So, so underrated, a quintessential classic
