‘Sing We Triumphant Hymns of Praise’

leeduigon(patty)January 6, 2016

Before we get involved with any of the uniformly bad news of this evil age, here are some ordinary people in their church, singing a well-known, classic hymn. If you’re a Christian, you’ve heard it many times–and sung it, too.

But I am old enough now to know that sometimes it’s the ordinary things that really matter, that go straight to your heart.

God made us that way–and how unsearchable is His wisdom, and His ways past finding out! Praise the Sovereign Lord, who has already marked on His calendar the date for the destruction of all the evils of this world. Their pride will vanish in the blink of an eye; and if we seek for any trace of their glory, we will not find it.

P.S.–The hymn shop is open 24/7! Don’t be shy–tell me your favorite hymns, so we can all share them. Take advantage of this many-times-only offer today!

Hymn, ‘ Create in Me a Clean Heart’

leeduigon(patty)January 5, 2016

By reader request: This is Psalm 51, set to modern music and performed by Keith Green. David wrote this after God punished his adultery with Bathsheba.

That was very serious business. Bad enough that David took a man’s wife. But he also used his power as king to get the man, Uriah the Hittite, killed in battle. So in addition to adultery, David was guilty of murder and treason. I use the word “treason” in its original sense, meaning a personal betrayal.

Clean in me a clean heart, O God, and a right spirit.

Who doesn’t need to pray that prayer?

One More Carol: ‘Gesu Bambino’

leeduigon(patty)January 4, 2016

Is it too late to post one more Christmas carol? Nah!

This is the U.S. Army Band performing Gesu Bambino, and it is knock-your-block-off beautiful! I always loved this carol, but I never knew what it was called. My wife has enlightened me: it’s one of her favorites.

Remember, the hymn shop is open from now on, I will take requests day or night, and there’s no reason for anybody to be bashful. Step right up and let me know if there’s a hymn you’d like to hear on this site. All you have to do is scroll down a little and “Leave a Comment.”

Hymn, ‘Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer’

leeduigon(patty)January 4, 2016

This Welsh melody is traditionally called Cwm Rhondda and has various renderings into English. I’ve posted it once as Bread of Heaven. This is a very popular hymn and a good way to start our day. This is another one you can really belt out–and should.

I don’t mean to turn into a Christian DJ or something like that, but suddenly these hymns seem mighty important. We live in an anti-Christian age, in a Christian country that is rapidly being de-Christianized, debauched, and debased before our very eyes.

Hymns are a way of connecting with our God, and the time has come to sing them louder, louder, every day.

He will hear us.

Hymn, ‘Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty’

leeduigon(patty)January 3, 2016

By request, Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty by the Maranatha Singers. Why wait till tomorrow to post a hymn that I can post today?

We seem to be spending a lot of time in the Book of Revelation today–but it’s a good place to be.

The Sea Lily Walks

leeduigon(patty)January 3, 2016

Hi, Mr. Nature here, with our first video of 2016.

Here is an animal which most people, looking at it, would think was a plant. Scientists call it a crinoid. Some people call it a sea lily. These are very commonly found as fossils, but as you can see, they’re still around today.

This footage was taken by a camera on the deep bottom of the sea. Hey, is that the flower’s stalk dragging after it? Yes, that’s what it is. Imagine seeing that in your garden: a tulip crawling along, dragging its stalk behind it. Except, of course, the crinoid is an animal, related to the starfish. And it can detach its stalk from whatever it’s clinging to.

Doesn’t God make cool stuff? I mean, really, if you were creating the world, would you have ever thought of crinoids?

‘Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty’

leeduigon(patty)January 3, 2016

No lyrics, just the organ. Think Isaiah 6: “…I saw also the Lord sitting on a throne… And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.” And Revelation 4: “[A] throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne… And the four beasts… rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”

‘The Storm is Passing Over’

leeduigon(patty)January 2, 2016

By reader request, so here it is–The Storm is Passing Over, sung by the American Boychoir.

So far only a few of you regular readers have requested hymns; but the hymn shop is open to all, so don’t be shy.

Now it’s time to do errands, so I’ll be out for a while.

May God grant that the storm of this evil age pass over quickly.

Welsh Hymn, ‘Calon Lan’

leeduigon(patty)January 2, 2016

The title of this traditional hymn means “Pure Heart,” and I don’t understand a word of the Welsh lyrics, sung by Cerys Matthews. I don’t feel any need to translate. Beauty has no need of a translation.

The hymn speaks to me without words. Relax, and let it speak to you.
