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.

By Request, ‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder’
Another hymn request! Abbondanza! This one from Thewhiterabbit: When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder–a good old 19th-century hymn, sung by Alan Jackson.
Hymn shop’s open all day, everybody…
‘Power in the Blood’ (Wow!)
This is a short hymn–but what a job they do with it! The kids at Fountainview Academy, I mean. It was worth lugging the piano out of the building…
An old-time hymn, Power in the Blood, brought to you by Fountainview Academy.
‘Revive Us Again’
Hardly anybody here this morning. But the revival flag is up–can’t duck out now!
Can you hear this, everybody? It’s revival–our country is giving birth to a revival. Sing it, pray for it, don’t let it stop. We need it!
Hymn: Revive Us Again, sung by Nathan and Lyle.
‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’
Today’s hymn (for starters) is Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, sung by the Calvary Quartet. You don’t need musical instruments when you’ve got voices like this.
Anybody out there? Hymn shop’s open…
‘Shall We Gather at the River?’
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God… Psalm 46:4
I think that must be the river featured in this hymn–Shall We Gather at the River?, sung here by Burl Ives. Sweet old-fashioned holiness.
By Request, ‘In Christ Alone’
A modern worship song that has become a classic hymn–we don’t see that too often, do we? Requested by Susan: In Christ Alone, sung by the Boyce Worship Collective.
‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder’
I hope you can hear this hymn better than I can–neighbor showing off his power tools.
When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder, sung by students at Fountainview Academy… (Too much noise, I just can’t think).
‘This World Is Not My Home’
Our dear friends the Swanson Brothers have grown up right before our eyes–it didn’t seem to take any time at all!
Today they have for us This World Is Not My Home, with lyrics so you can sing along.
‘Just As I Am’
This hymn was part of my childhood. My mother and my aunts used to sing it as they did their housework. Here it is again, sung by the Choir Masters Assn. in Chennai, India–Just As I Am (Without One Plea).
[P.S.–Please pray for us. We are looking for a doctor for Patty, and have to walk on eggs until we find one.]
