‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

Here’s an old favorite from the Joslin Grove Choral Society: Onward, Christian Soldiers.

O Jesus Christ our Lord! We need you!

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

‘He Hideth My Soul’

I’ve been too worn out today to do much of anything… but one more hymn can’t hurt. It’s been a while since I posted this one.

From deep in the heart of Texas, He Hideth My Soul–a Funny Crosby hymn brought to you by Nathan (autoharp) and Lyle (guitar), plus friends and neighbors.

‘Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer’

I remember this hymn from Sunday school–and we weren’t even Welsh.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah–the tune serves several different sets of lyrics. This is the one I remember best.

‘We Have Heard the Joyful Sound’

I know the Hudson River when I see it, and “Jesus Saves” when I hear it.

Sorry for the skimpy output today: just can’t help it. More doctoring coming up this week! I’m beginning to have a bad feeling about it. Please include me in your prayers.

‘Hyfrydol’ (On a Dulcimer)

All sorts of unedifying nooze out there today–but let’s have this first. Hyfrydol, a well-known Welsh hymn played here on a mountain dulcimer, by Gwen Caeli: it brought tears to our eyes.

I don’t know if I’ll post any nooze today or not. I guess I’ll try. But thank God we have hymns to fortify our souls.

‘I Sing the Mighty Power of God’

Isaac Watts wrote this hymn in 1715 and it’s still being sung today: I Sing the Mighty Power of God, sung here by the Mountain Anthems.

We are wide-open for hymn requests, everybody.

‘Alleluiah, Sing to Jesus’

Well, I’m still tuckered out after my long rest at the rest home. No stamina. But I reckon I was lucky to get out of there in one piece.

Let’s have a hymn: Alleluiah, Sing to Jesus [in Welsh it’s Hyfrydol]–sung by St. Michael’s Singers at Coventry Cathedral.

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

I meant to post this first thing in the morning–but boy howdy, I’m still tired and I plum forgot. (Helpful hint: a rest home is anything but restful.) So here it is now–All Creatures of Our God and King by Fanny Crosby, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale.

Sorry–too tired to post any nooze today.

‘Yield Not to Temptation’

Our Lord Jesus Christ must be carrying me through this soul-trying time: I sure ain’t carryin’ myself.

Sing here by Calvary Free Presbyterian Church in Northern Ireland, Yield Not to Temptation was one of my favorite hymns in Sunday school and I’m still loving it today. Maybe because I need it so much more, these days.

I hope can remember how to post it.

‘Yield Not to Temptation’

Here’s a hymn from the Garden State Baptist Church in Old Bridge, just down the road from me–Yield Not to Temptation, by Horatio Palmer. How often we sang this in Sunday school!

I pray Our Lord Jesus Christ will carry me over the finish line.
