He will make the flowers bloom

At the feet of Jesus bowing

Burdened and oppressed with gloom

Low I hear the sweetest whisper

He will make the flowers bloom

cho.

He will make the flowers bloom

Turn your midnight into noon

Dry your tears no more repining

He will make the flowers bloom

Tho he leads me through the garden

and to Pilot's judgement room

I'll go on to calvary's hilltop

He will make the flowers bloom

Tho my life is but a story

and i shall rest with Him in the tomb

I'll shall rise with Him in glory

He will make the flowers bloom

How did Beethoven die?

Tests have recently confirmed that Beethoven died as a result of lead poisoning. This was attested to by the fact that he suffered from stomach ailments for much of his life, another sign of lead poisoning.

It is not known what caused Beethoven's exposure to lead poisoning for so much of his life. There is speculation that, because he was a fairly heavy drinker, he perhaps drank from lead cups. Another alternative is that, because he had consulted so many doctors for his various ailments, lead exposure may have come from the many medical treatments he received which, in his time, were often laced with heavy metals.

Controversy continues over the cause of Beethoven's death; alcoholic cirrhosis, syphilis, infectious hepatitis, lead poisoning, sarcoidosis and Whipple's disease have all been proposed. Some more ideas are that he died from the complications of a chill, kidney failure, and lead poisoning. The latter theory is receiving much attention with new testing procedures possible on Beethoven's hair.
