Yes, I know, I’ve posted this hymn any number of times–an ancient Scottish hymn, Behold the Mountain of the Lord (In Latter Days Shall Rise).
Well, I want to see that mountain! I want to see My Lord Jesus Christ come into His glory.
And I want to see the looks on certain people’s faces when He does.
This was the first hymn that came to mind this morning, so here it is–Christ for the World We Sing, sung by the choir at the First Methodist Church in Houston. I don’t know about you, but this one’s going to my heart.
I could use some grace, about now.
So this was the first hymn to come to mind this morning: Amazing Grace, sung here by Alan Jackson. I like it with bagpipes, but we can get by without them.
Yes, I know, I’ve posted this hymn any number of times: Jesus Saves (We Have Heard the Joyful Sound), as sung at Synod 2012 of the United Reform Church–and that’s the Hudson River valley up there. I’m posting it because I need saving!
Yes, I know it’s Labor Day weekend. I don’t care: this is the hymn I want this morning.
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing–written by Charles Wesley in 1739. Performed here by the Bach Choir and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
I don’t dare try to count how many times I’ve posted this hymn; but my spirit needs reviving, and this is my favorite version of it–Revive Us Again, sung by Nathan and Lyle from deep in the heart of Texas.
Requested by Erlene: Whispering Hope, by Jim Reeves.
Sometimes they play it on the church bells… somewhere around here, I don’t know where.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard this hymn before–Do You Know My Jesus? Requested by Phoebe, sung by a quartet of students at Fountainview Academy. (I do find it hard to resist that British Columbia scenery!)
Wow! Is this a nice hymn, or what? Under His Wings, sung a capella at the West Kenya Union Cathedral, by Breath of Praise.
For how many of us is the 23rd Psalm the first Bible passage we learn by heart?
Here it is being sung by the choir of Wells Cathedral, England. Very nice, isn’t it?
