I had never heard this hymn before. Click “CC” for lyrics: they are not easy, comfortable, “just be nice” lyrics. One thinks of the souls under the altar in Revelation 6, martyred, murdered, by a wicked world and waiting for God to avenge them.
Sung by students from Fountainview Academy, in front of the Colisseum–and we know what happened there, don’t we?
Note: The hymn contest is still on, but I haven’t received any entries yet today.
I had requested two: It’s Beginning to Rain, and Days of Elijah. Guess they didn’t get through for some reason.
Sorry–it slipped my mind. Now I remember seeing your message, but I wasn’t able to answer at the time and then I forgot.
We sing this hymn in our church – I love singing it with a congregation.
