Look at that Hudson River Valley, with its green banks–the work of God’s hands. And the message: “Jesus saves!”
Recorded at Reformed Church Synod 2012.

‘Be Thou My Vision’
I’m sick of us, Patty and me, being sick: in danger of losing heart. Still, I thought it might be nice to post one more hymn before I conk out for the evening. But which one?
Be Thou My Vision, an ancient Irish hymn, 1,500 years old or so, still has power to move us to tears. Sung here by 4Him.
I think of it as a kind of prayer.
‘Praise to the Lord the Almighty’
Yes, I know I’m off to a late start. First I have trouble getting started, and then it’s trouble to keep going. Oh, well…
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty–this was another Sunday school favorite. It sounded even better when the whole congregation sang it .
‘Jesus Shall Reign’
Here’s one from Isaac Watts, c. 1715–Jesus Shall Reign (with echoes of Psalm 72).
Patty and I are still sick. Please keep the prayers coming.
‘Amazing Grace’
I haven’t posted this one in a long time, have I? Amazing Grace, sung here by Alan Jackson.
Patty and I are still sick, I don’t know how we’re going to refill her prescription… so pray for us, please, if you can think of it.
‘Angels from the Realms of Glory’
Yes, I know it isn’t Christmas-time. I want to get some Christmas hymns posted before I get shoved back into the hospital. Besides… when is it a bad time for Angels from the Realms of Glory?
‘Trust and Obey’
Here’s a Sunday school favorite: Trust and Obey. Brings back sweet memories! S.E. Samonte has rounded up pictures that stir the soul.
John Bunyan’s Hymn
This is one of my favorite hymns, written by John Bunyan, author of “The Pilgrim’s Progress”–Who Would True Valor See, sung with gusto by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
Hymn requests, anyone?
‘Revive Us Again’
I woke up today with this hymn in my mind–Revive Us Again, a classic from 1867 by W. R. McKay. Here we have it by Nathan and Lyle, deep in the heart of Texas.
We’ll be posting hymns today… if we can get any requests.
‘Light of the World’
I find myself apt to growl this morning, and then snap–but that will never do. I think I need a hymn and some prayers.
Here’s one of my favorites: Light of the World, by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
Aaaaah… That’s better.
