  44. Some Facebook,
  45. the song is that it was first published in a songbook in 1876 as four Stanzas.
  46. Each dance is followed by the chorus.
  47. If this song represents a
  48. different genre, it'd be gospel or him.
  49. This song is so old.
  50. That doesn't say what original instruments were used to create it.
  51. So I'm going to tell you about the instrument that's
  52. in this specific video that was playing right now,
  53. the only instrument is the piano. The piano was invented by Bartolomeo mystery.
  54. He invented it because he wanted more
  55. control than what the previous punching mechanism.

  65. Always pray continually,
  66. give thanks in all circumstances, Curtis's what
  67. God's well for you. In christ jesus,
  68. I relate to the artists in a few different ways.
  69. I relate to horatio mainly with loss.
  70. Like some of you, I've lost our grandparents and great grandparents.
  71. I relate to Phillip lists because we both really enjoy music
  72. and like me, he grew up in a christian household which has helped my faith a lot.
  73. I chose this song because it's such a meaningful backstory.
  74. The song reminds me that God will always be with me no matter what happens,
  75. it sets an example of how I should live my life, I should be happy and kind.
  76. I can rest in the fact that because I am a christian, I will go to heaven.
  77. It shows me that God will never give up on me. So I should never give up on him.
  78. Even when hard things come.
  79. The four poetic devices I found were similar is ripe imagery and repetition.
  80. Similares or comparisons
  81. rhyme have the same ending sounds, imagery appeals to your senses,
  82. repetition is a phrase that appears more than once.
  83. 1 70 I found is when sorrows like sea Billows roll
  84. is comparing sorrows to see Bellows.
  85. My rhyme is
  86. clouds be rolled back as a scroll and then later it says even sell as well as my soul
  87. scroll and soul right.
  88. One piece of imagery is when it says the trump shall resound.
  89. It appeals to your hearing.
  90. Finally, the repetition of my song. Is it as well as my soul.
  91. This phrase has said eight times.
  92. A similar adds to how sad horatio was and yet he could still trust in
  93. God rhyme scheme adds to the song because not only does it sound nicer,
  94. makes it sound easier to remember.
  95. The imager helps you enter the picture this paints, makes everything easier to see.
  96. The repetition of the song helps get the main message across message.
  97. It is well ties the whole song together.
