SURE on This Shining Night, performed here by the Minnesota Choral Artists, is a choral work by Morten Lauridsen based on the 1938 poem by James Agee:

Sure on This Shining Night
James Agee

Sure on this shining night
Of starmade shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.

The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.

Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
Wandering far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
