Sister Miriam Therese Winter - Joy Is Like The Rain
Review by Roshni Khanna
Joy Is Like The Rain, the album by Sister Miriam Therese Winter, is a beautiful collection of uplifting and inspiring songs that will leave listeners feeling refreshed and renewed. The album features a range of musical styles, from gentle acoustic ballads to upbeat gospel numbers, all infused with Sister Miriam's signature warmth and compassion.
One standout track is the title song, "Joy Is Like The Rain," which features Sister Miriam's gentle vocals and a simple, yet powerful message about the beauty of life's simple pleasures. Another highlight is "All Will Be Well," a soaring anthem that encourages listeners to stay hopeful and optimistic in the face of life's challenges.
Throughout the album, Sister Miriam's lyrics are deeply spiritual and rooted in her Catholic faith, but her message of love, hope, and joy is universal and will resonate with listeners of all backgrounds. The album's production is also top-notch, with lush instrumentation and expertly crafted arrangements that showcase Sister Miriam's musical talents.

Also known as "Scarlet Ribbons for her hair". Beautifuly melody.
St. Louis Catholic School....1972.....Austin, Tx
Oh my gosh, this takes me back! Love it!
I was in 2nd and 3rd grade at a Catholic parochial school we would sing this song over and over again, even today I sing this song ( Of course to myself )when it hadn't rained in a long time ! To the GOOD TIMES !
My grade school chorus sang this song around 1973, except that the third verse (heard here at 1:15), was omitted. When I asked why this verse was crossed off the manuscript, the teacher simply replied that it was "of a religious nature," and could not be performed in a public school setting. Now, after all these years, this video has all the verses intact, which has given me a chance to hear what had been missing. THANK YOU for bringing this back.
I went to a catholic school and some of our teachers are Nun. A nice beautiful sister named Sister Lutgardiz teach us this song (1967-1968) school year at St James High School Subic Zambales. To this time I still sing the song. Also another song (It's Long road to freedom)
Stowed WAY back in my memory banks. Thanks for finding it and dusting it off!
CD???
This is a long playing record it was old as me.
Yes indeed every song is sung by well doing nuns who care of people and spread good within the world. Sisters in mission I think it says on the record.

I remember Mama Paulson and miss her even more whenever I hear this song.
Awww memories
I remember the record and sitting on my grandma's lap in the middle of the night. When I couldn't sleep I was blue nothing was right she made it better
Praise God, God bless ??
I learned this song in grade school whenever I am sad I think of it and sing it I am always happy afterwards it is truly an amazing song. I love that I found it and can listen to it now whenever I want to. Will share it with others. Nettie
Sr. Nicholas and her guitar at Corpus Christi in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. I was in 7th grade and I love this song!!
This song reminds me of my mom (RIP) - who loved this album and would play it often. I'm not a religious person, but I still appreciate the memories this lovely song brings back, and the message of joy it contains. I'm glad I was able to find it here.
