about

By Mumford & Sons (Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford, Winston Aubrey Aladar Marshall, Benjamin Walter David Lovett, Edward James Milton Dwane)
Soloist: Will Robertson

At CBH, we make something of an art of incorporating secular songs into sacred contexts, thoughtfully setting them up so they naturally cross over to become part of the liturgy. This one we sing at Rosh Hashanah, in the season of atonement: “I’m sorry…” Mumford & Sons loosely based their “Sigh No More” on a song from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, “Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.” Who knows what tune Shakespeare had in mind!

lyrics

Serve God, love me and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised, we are friends
I’m sorry, I’m sorry

Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea, one on shore
My heart was never pure
You know me, you know me

And man is a funny thing
Oh man is a funny thing

Love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the one you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment, a cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
