(I fell asleep briefly. It’s that kind of day.)
I really love this old-fashioned hymn, Down in the River to Pray. Sung here by Alison Krauss–with simplicity that touches my heart.

‘Down to the River to Play’
I found myself, yesterday, whistling this good old-fashioned hymn–Down to the River to Pray, sung here by Alison Krauss. We didn’t have anything like it in our dear old Dutch Reformed Church. Calvinists, were we.
But we all belong to Jesus Christ our King.
‘The Wexford Carol’
Voice and cello, Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma–a wonderful treatment of the Wexford Carol. And with bagpipes, too! I love the combination.
Let’s keep our Christmas going!
‘Down to the River to Pray’
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most high… Psalm 46:4.
Do you suppose this is the river that the Psalmist meant? It’s the river of the spirit, and it flows everywhere.
By Request: ‘Remind Me, Dear Lord’
Requested by Elder Mike: Remind Me, Dear Lord, sung by Alison Krauss and the Cox Family.
Oh, Lord! All the lovely, sane, beautiful things you put in our lives–our families spring to mind, though mine is almost entirely passed away–please make us truly thankful for them. Make us wise enough not to waste them!
‘In Christ Alone’
This is one of our most popular hymns, and I woke up with it on my mind this morning–In Christ Alone. performed by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with Alison Krauss: background sets by God the Father.
By Request, ‘Down to the River to Pray’
Requested by our friend SlimJim, a good old-fashioned hymn–Down to the River to Pray, sung by Alison Krauss.
It makes me wonder if my church was missing something, not doing full-immersion baptisms.
‘The Wexford Carol’
It’s taken me almost an hour to post this carol, so, year, I’m still sick–everything is moving in slow motion. I have a lot of lost sleep to catch up on.
The Wexford Carol features Alison Krauss, Yo-Yo Ma on his cello, and support from a bagpiper, a drummer–together they create a haunting Christmas carol, and a beautiful sound you surely haven’t heard before.
And now for a bit of breakfast.
‘Down to the River to Pray’
This is just a good old hymn, the first one that came to me today–Down to the River to Pray, sung by Alison Krauss.
I declare the hymn shop open for the day.
‘In Christ Alone’ (New Video)
This hymn was knocking at my door all day. Here’s a new video by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with an assist from Alison Krauss. I keep thinking the waters are the Sea of Galilee. Well, they might be, at that.
