This is the 23rd Psalm, adapted to be sung in English–by the Joslin Grove Choral Society.
Nice job they did, don’t you think?

‘Onward Christian Soldiers’
I’ve had a dreadful time getting off the starting block today, so I’m late with our hymn–Onward, Christian Soldiers, sung by the Joslin Grove Choral Society.
I feel better now, so let’s see how this Sunday goes. Ours is a lovely spring day–the work of Our Father’s hands.
By Request, ‘O, God, Our Help in Ages Past’
Requested by Phoebe yesterday–but we got home from the hospital very late, and then the computer wouldn’t work–O God Our Help in Ages Past, sung by the Mennonite Bible Institute Singers.
We used to sing this in our assemblies at high school. I’m afraid to ask what they’ve got the kiddies singing now.
‘Behold the Mountain of the Lord’
Yes, all right! This ancient Scottish hymn–Behold the Mountain of the Lord, sung by Godfrey Birtill–has shown me what I need to do, to get through this day.
Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth…
Yes: Seek the Lord. Seek His help. Message received!
‘Trust and Obey’
Oh, this hymn brings back to me some good and sane and happy times! Trust and Obey: we sang it a lot in Sunday school. Oh, how I miss those times! When will the Father heal our land?
R.J. Rushdoony: ‘The Fright Peddlars,’ (2018)
R.J. Rushdoony wrote this little essay for The California Farmer back in 1976; and today it seems more on target than ever.
Every generation, it seems has its doomsday scenario, “We’re all gonna die!” When I was a boy it was nuclear war, everybody building fallout shelters. Today it’s Climbit Change. It’s always some grisly fate from which we can only be saved by Science. And Big Government.
But the earth is the LORD’s, not theirs.
It would do us good to bear that in mind.
By Request, ‘Via Dolorosa’
We have our first Easter hymn request of the year, from SemperSolaDeoGloria01: Via Dolorosa, sung by Sandi Patti… in Jerusalem.
And we are open to more hymn requests.
‘Will the Circle Be Unbroken?’
We have an instrumental of this good old hymn, performed by our dear friends the Swanson Brothers, Joshua and Jeremy: Will the Circle Be Unbroken? I found it very moving, even without the lyrics.
‘I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing’
Am I early for Christmas, or late? But that doesn’t matter, does it?
Three hours of scanning the day’s nooze, and I’m worn out. What a load of crap. I suppose I should be deliriously happy, watching the Democrat Party self-destruct; but it’s a sorry sight, no dancing in the streets.
This hymn came into my mind about an hour ago, and doesn’t want to leave.
“Christ is born” is still The News. We have every reason to rejoice in that.
‘Until We Meet Again’
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were BIG, really BIG on TV when I was a boy, back in the 1050s. And among other things, they sang hymns. And no one tried to stop them!
Hard to imagine… but I was there to see and hear it.
