I saw that and I wondered if “meet” should have been “meek”??
You'll also find it in the old Sacred Harp hymn,
"Lord, what of all my sufferings here,
If thou wouldst count me meet
With the enraptured host appear
And worship at thy feet.
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away,
But let me find them all again
At the eternal day."
Tune here
Sacred Harp ain't for everybody - and this is a gaggle of johnny-come-lately granola types in Oregon, so it doesn't have the real authentic Southern sound (for one thing they sing it WAY too slow), but I couldn't find a bunch of good old boys singing it.
Go here and click on the arrow on No. 7 ("Eternal Day").
That's the way it's supposed to be sung.
And by the way, that album is about as good an introduction to Sacred Harp as you're going to get (the soundtrack from the film "Awake My Soul - the Story of the Sacred Harp" is the other.) It strikes what I think is an ideal compromise between the scratchy amateur recordings of triple fortissimo raucousness that you often get in an all-day sing, and the overly precious renderings of most professional recordings. They have the correct nasal sound and the very forward tone production -- but with pitch and tempo correct. And there's not that little old lady soprano stuck up on one of the high notes . . . you get that in the wild, so to speak, but it always annoys me.
