‘Light of the World’

No hymn requests this morning, but that’s okay–here’s a hymn I wanted, found myself softly whistling it to myself last night: Light of the World, by Charles Wesley. Sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ (Amy Grant)

I would like it to be said of me that “he knew how to keep Christmas.” And Easter, too.

And so we come to Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, by Charles Wesley in 1739, sung by Amy Grant.

If Christ is not born, the world cannot be saved.

And if Christ be not risen, as St. Paul explained, then we can’t be risen, either.

Hence a Christmas hymn in September.

‘Light of the World’

No hymn requests this morning, so don’t blame me for posting one of my favorites–Light of the World, by Charles Wesley, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

The hymn shop is open for requests. Don’t be shy.

By Request, ‘O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing’

A hymn request to start the day–O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, another classic by Charles Wesley, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

Shout-out to my Sunday school teacher: Yo, Mr. Robinson! This is what you were teaching us, isn’t it? See–I do remember!

‘Light of the World’

Some of these hymns are really getting to me, lately. I expect that’s a good thing, and I give the LORD thanks for it.

Here’s another of my favorites–Light of the World, played the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’

To me this hymn is indispensable to any celebration of Easter–Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, by Charles Wesley–sung here by the Yoder Family. Written in the 18th century and still going strong!

Happy Easter, everybody. Christ is risen indeed.

‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’

Easter’s almost here, so let’s have an Easter hymn.

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, by Charles Wesley, sung by the Yoder Family–oh, how many times we sang this, back in Sunday school!

‘Light of the World’

Hardly anybody here today: somebody’s out there suppressing Christian blogs. So we have no hymn requests, I’m on my own… I’ll go with this: Light of the World by Charles Wesley, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

‘Light of the World’ (Why Not?)

We wouldn’t last two days in the dark, without the light shed by Jesus Christ Our Lord; and I dare say we’ve never needed that light more than we need it now.

Light of the World, by Charles Wesley, sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band–and we’re open for a hymn request, if anybody wants to make one.

By Request, ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’

I can feel these Christmas carols melting the ice in my soul! What would we do without Christmas?

Requested by Erlene, Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Performed by the Yoder Family, with background sets by God the Father. Written by Charles Wesley in 1739–and still going strong.

I’m saving a couple of these carols for tomorrow morning.
