The hymn shop’s open! If you have one you’d like to share, just let us know and we’ll do the rest.

‘Face to Face with Christ, My Savior’

This was the first hymn I found on YouTube today, and I hadn’t heard it before, so herde it is–Face to Face with Christ, My Savior, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale. Backgrounds: God’s own handiwork, which he pronounced very good.

‘Safe in the Arms of Jesus’

No hymn requests yet today, and I’m probably at work earlier than is good for me… So let’s have this: One of the eight or nine thousand hymns written by Fanny Crosby, Safe in the Arms of Jesus. Sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale.

”Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus’

(Don’t mind the blurry picture. The video is not like that.)

Looking for a hymn this morning… Ah! Here’s a nice one, a good old one: ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, sung by the Altar of Praise Men’s Chorale.

Bonus Hymn, ‘All Creatures of Our God and King’

I found myself in a kind of odd position, spiritually–thanking God for click beetles. And that sent me in search of this hymn, All Creatures of Our God and King, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale. It expresses what I’m feeling.

Man, are you out to lunch? Getting all moony over click beetles! [It’s all right, Lord, I’m not listening to them. Thank you for the wonderful works of your hands!]

By Request, ‘All Creatures of Our God and King’

There’s a tradition that St. Francis of Assisi wrote the lyrics to this hymn.

Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale, All Creatures of Our God and King. Background sets by God the Father, the work of His hands.

By Request, ‘Softly and Tenderly’

(We have four hymn requests so far today, so I’ll hold over one or more of them for tomorrow morning.)

Requested by SlimJim–Softly and Tenderly, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale, with background sets by God the Father.

Thanks to all readers who ask for hymns! God knows we need them.

By Request, ‘O Sacred Head Now Wounded’

Requested by Phoebe–and there are several versions available. I chose this one because it’s the one my 7th-grade class sang in our Easter concert. Can you imagine that? ACLU lawyers would have conniptions…

So here it is, O Sacred Head Now Wounded: melody by Bach, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale.
