I love this hymn, the first hymn I ever learned to play on my harmonica. It can be traced back to the 1500’s, and the melody as we know it first appeared in 1708. This rendition, in 18th-century style, is by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band: O Worship the King.
I know I tend to repeat myself in my selection of hymns; so if there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, just let us know.
Maddy Prior has just the voice for this hymn. Thank you, Lee, for always starting our days with praise and hope in this gloomy, evil world.
If you have no request for tomorrow, may I suggest “In Christ Alone” – or maybe you could add it to your request list.
It’ll be my pleasure. Any particular version you’d like?
I’m sure whichever version you select will be just right. Thank you, Lee. It really is a beautiful hymn.
For a back up hymn you might want to choose “Thy Strong Word” – great lyrics!
It’s now on my list. We can always have two hymns tomorrow.
