‘Before the Throne of God Above’

Now that I have a list of Your Favorite Hymns–and please, everybody, feel free to add to it–I’m getting to hear a lot of songs I’ve never heard before. Like this one: Before the Throne of God Above, by Selah.

By Request, ‘Before the Throne of God Above’

J.S. Klingemann requested this hymn, Before the Throne of God Above, performed as a Celtic piano solo with God’s own seashore for a background. I’ve never heard this hymn before. It’s haunting, it’s lovely; it stirs my soul. Thank you, J.S., for requesting it.

Hymn, ‘Before the Throne of God Above’

Yes, I know it isn’t Sunday. But after a day of monitoring the news, I feel the need of a hymn.

This one comes to us courtesy of Weaving Word, a regular reader of this blog. I’d never heard it before, although it’s been around since 1863. Its soothing harmony carries a strong Biblical message.

Like the lady said–when things look bleak, sing louder.
