about

The migrants who seek the promised land have one thing in common; their families are split up. Many don't even know where their families are or if their fathers or sisters are still alive. They hope to one day be reunited. So it was for the immigrants to America in the 1800s, which is where this old hymn comes from.
----------------------------------------------
Auswanderer auf der Suche nach dem Land der Verheißung haben Eines gemeinsam: ihre Familien sind zerrissen. Viele wissen nicht einmal, wo ihre Familien sind, oder ob die Familienmitglieder noch am Leben sind. Sie hoffen auf eine Wiedervereinigung eines Tages. So war es auch für die Menschen, die in den 1800er Jahren nach Amerika emigriert sind. Diese alte Hymne stammt aus jener Zeit.
