My mother and my aunts used to sing this hymn, or hum it, as they went about their housework. Something, I don’t know what, brought it to my mind last night. Sweet Hour of Prayer, sung by Alan Jackson.

By Request, ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’
All right, enough nooze already.
We get a fair number of requests for this hymn, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. Embrace its wholesomeness, its sanity: this is the Good News. Sung by Alan Jackson, requested by Erlene–with exquisite background sets by God the Father.
By Request, ‘When We All Get to Heaven’
Just about worn out today, but one more post: a hymn request from Susan, When We All Get to Heaven, performed by Alan Jackson.
I’ve held over Joshua’s hymn request for tomorrow morning. I guarantee it’s worth waiting for. But for the time being, there’s nothing lacking in the beautiful hymns our fellow readers have requested today.
By Request, ‘In the Garden’
Requested by Phoebe, In the Garden. I chose this soothing rendition of it by Alan Jackson: hope you like it.
Phoebe needs a little extra prayer support just now, everybody–so please, let’s provide it. Strengthen and protect your servant, Lord! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
‘I Love to Tell the Story’
This was a Sunday school favorite–I Love to Tell the Story. And watch Alan Jackson closely. Are those tears on his cheeks? I think they are.
‘How Great Thou Art’
This is another hymn my grandma and my mother used to sing around the house–How Great Thou Art. I like this simple, mellow rendition by Alan Jackson.
By Request, ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’
I still feel soiled after writing about that putrid, evil book I was invited to review. But here is an antidote.
Requested by Erlene–Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, sung by Alan Jackson.
By Request, ‘The Old Rugged Cross’
I can’t thank Phoebe enough for requesting this hymn today–The Old Rugged Cross, sung by Alan Jackson. Providential: my accumulated stresses this morning all blew up at once, and one of my neighbors bore the brunt of it. After I’d calmed down a bit, we apologized to each other, shook hands, and made up.
Speaking for myself, I need God’s grace today, I needed that old rugged cross.
But don’t we all?
By Request, ‘There Is Power in the Blood’
Requested by Jeremy (Joshua’s brother)–There Is Power in the Blood, performed by Alan Jackson, written in 1899 by Lewis E. Jones. I’d never heard it before Joshua requested it.

‘Blessed Assurance’
This is one of the 8,000 hymns that Fanny Crosby wrote–Blessed Assurance, sung here by Alan Jackson. This stirs my soul; I hope it does the same for you.
