After all the stress and craziness of this week, I think we deserve a quiet train ride on the Goathland Railroad, over the North Yorkshire moors.
He Who Would Valiant Be is John Bunyan’s hymn, To Be a Pilgrim, with a few of the words changed.

By Request, ‘In the Sweet By and By’
Requested by Erlene, a beloved old hymn, In the Sweet By and By–and I chose this instrumental version by our friends and colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy. It’s really quite beautiful, what they’ve done with it.
‘In Christ Alone’
We haven’t received any hymn requests lately, so I fall back on some of our favorites, like this one–In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty.
It’s easy to make a hymn request. Just like a comment anywhere.
‘Fairest Lord Jesus’
Overlooking scenic Seton Lake in British Columbia–four kids from Fountainview Academy, and Fairest Lord Jesus. A church and Sunday school favorite.
‘O Worship the King’
I don’t know if this internet is fixed yet, but here goes.
We start our blogging day with a hymn–O Worship the King, sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee!’ (I’m Back?)
I have to go to the eye doctor this morning, but first a hymn–Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee: music by Beethoven, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers, background sets by God the Father.
And Patty has been using this machine for two hours already and says it hasn’t conked out once–so let’s pray the bad stuff’s all over and we can start rebuilding our blog.
I’ll try some longer posts when I get back.
By Request, ‘I Asked the Lord’
We haven’t had a hymn request in a while; then again, we haven’t had a proper internet all week.
From Erlene, I Asked the Lord, by Gordon Macrae. Recorded in 1956.
‘Hyfrydol’
I’ve got about 90 seconds to post this before I lose my internet connection again. So without further ado, a hymn for today, Hyfrydol–high-church style.
‘All Glory, Laud, and Honor’
Time to start trying to clean up the mess; and I think the best way to start that would be with a hymn–
All Glory, Laud, and Honor, filmed during the Palm Sunday service (2016) at First Plymouth Church in Lincoln, Nebraska–complete with cymbals and trumpets.
