Julian of Norwich (Sydney Carter) PERMISSION TO INCLUDE THIS SONG HAS BEEN DENIED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER, STAINER AND BELL LTD, THROUGH THEIR US AND CANADIAN ADMINISTRATOR, HOPE PUBLISHING CO. *( 800/323-1049) ----------------------------------------------------------------- By Sydney Carter Copyright Stainer & Bell, Ltd. On "All Shall Be Well Again", FSI-96 According to Carter, Julian lived at about the time of Chaucer, in a cell (she was a hermit and a mystic) in what is now the Chapel of Julian in Norwich, England. According to my differing sources, Julian spoke to her God in a vision, asking why evil was necessary in the world. The answer she got wat that it was indeed necessary, but that "All will be well; all manner of things shall be well." (Loosely remembered.) That, then, became her message, and she apparently brought peace to the troubles of her area at one time by repeating that message. DC
