This beautiful 19th century hymn by Charlotte Elliott was a favorite at my grandma’s house, and ours: Just As I Am, Without One Plea. Sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir.
‘He Hideth My Soul’

‘My Faith Looks Up to Thee’
This is another one of those hymns that my grandma, my mother, and my aunts used to hum while going about their housework–My Faith Looks Up to Thee, here sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. Background settings by God the Father, maker of heaven and earth.
Bonus Hymn, ‘Just as I Am, Without One Plea’
This hymn came to me so strongly this morning that I just had to post it: Just As I Am, Without One Plea. It was my Aunt Millie’s favorite hymn. I can remember her humming it as she bustled about her housework: hearing it really brings that back to me. We wait, O Lord, for your restoration of all things.
Sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir.
‘I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say’
Wednesday’s hymn, Take Two: Let’s see if I can actually post this to appear Wednesday morning while I’m stranded at the doctor’s office.
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say, written in 1846 by Horatio Bonar, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir–I expected this to be sung to the same melody as I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, which is the same melody (I think) as Fling Out the Banner… oh, well.
‘I Know Whom I Have Believed’
I’d never heard this hymn before, but I recognized the title as coming from the scriptures (2 Timothy 1:2), so I knew I’d want to post it: I Know Whom I Have Believed, published in 1893, sung here by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. Background scenery by God the Father.
