He's Got The Whole World In His Hands

The Sisters of Mercy - Live at Reading Festival, England, 25 August 1991 - He´s Got The Whole World In His Hands - Always Look On The Bright Side Of Live - 1969

A well-known Christian gospel ...
Find below a short and a long take of the common lyrics as well as The Sisters' version...

The Sisters extended the gospel quoting from it at Reading Festival 1991 and followed it
straightly with the Monty Python track Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life and
1969, originally by The Stooges.

A recording of this unique presentation is featured on both
the Brothers & Sisters bootleg cassette and the Brothers And Sisters bootleg CD.

It also forms an important part of the Live Reading '91 limited edition 7" picture dics box.
