On “Farthest Field”

On “Farthest Field”

At the campfire on the last evening of Summer Sessions 2024, Friends Greg Kozial and Matt Sunderland brought the call and response song “Farthest Field.” We sang it through once, then sang it again. The song is so beautiful, wistful and sweet, it brought tears to my eyes. I took a photo of the lyrics sheet. The typed-out lyrics follow.

 

There is a land | high on a hill
