I know, I’ve posted this before. But today seems like a good day for it–Gloria in Excelsis Deo, sung by the Libera Boys’ Choir. It’s in Latin, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem.

By Request, ‘He Chose Me’
We have a hymn requested by Erlene: He Chose Me, sung by Carroll Roberson.
In case you’re new here, I try to post all the hymn requests that I receive from readers.
‘Like a River Glorious’
Yes. I know I’m late. Can’t get a decent night’s sleep.
How about an old-fashioned Sunday school favorite? Like a River Glorious, with Nathan on the autoharp and Lyle on guitar… from Denton County, Texas.
By Request, ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’
We have an anonymous hymn request: Great Is Thy Faithfulness, sung here by the Blue Rock Mennonite Youth Choir. Background sets by God the Father.
By Request, ‘In God’s Green Pastures’
Here’s a hymn to raise the spirit: requested by Phoebe, In God’s Green Pastures, sung by The Voice of Eden.
Sung in India, heard all over the world. Thy Kingdom come, O Lord–thy Kingdom come.
By Request, ‘His Hand in Mine’
We’ve got some hymn requests–huzzah!
First up: His Hand in Mine, sung by Carroll Roberson.
I wish I could take a stroll down that aisle under the green trees. Beauty, in the work of God’s hands.
‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
I had a bad night, this morning’s grey and dreary; but I have to say it was a lift for my soul, hearing this hymn: a long-time Sunday school favorite, All Hail the Power of Jesus Name. Sung here by Blue Mountain Mennonite Youth.
‘In the Name of Jesus’
Yes, I know I’m running late–but this song is worth waiting for: In the Name of Jesus.
I’d also like to request prayers for our friend and brother, Eldermike, who needs an operation for gallstones. He’s been here for us. Let’s all be here for him.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
By Request, ‘The Old Rugged Cross’
This hymn used to make me cry when I was a boy in Sunday school. I guess I wasn’t the only one, because no one made fun of me.
Requested by Phoebe, sung by the Martin Brothers–The Old Rugged Cross.
‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’
Before I do anything else–and there’s a lot I have to do today, none of it enjoyable–let me post this Doc Watson classic: What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
How many times has Doc sung this hymn? And it still brings him perilously close to tears.
