‘He Leadeth Me’ (Fountainview)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I needed medicine for my soul this morning, having had my blood brought to a boil by certain items in the news, and the medicine was this: He Leadeth Me, performed by the kids from Fountainview Academy while visiting Hawaii.

No, I will not discuss those news items today. God will always fight for the right, and the wicked will not win, even if it sure looks like they’re winning big, just now. But the day will come when we diligently search for the place of the wicked, and will not be able to find it.

Lead me, O Lord my God: lead me.

‘Abide With Me’ (Fountainview Academy)

Abide With Me–does this hymn move you? “Help of the helpless,” “O Thou who changest not”: our God who pleads for us is mighty.

It is kind of unusual to find the students at Fountainview Academy singing indoors, though.

‘This Is My Father’s World’ (Fountainview)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

How I love this hymn! This Is My Father’s World, written by Maltbie Babcock in 1901, from his farm in upstate New York, and set to a traditional English melody in 1915 (according to Cyberhymnal–I don’t actually know all this stuff!), and here performed by the kids at Fountainview Academy, British Columbia. It really goes well with canoeing smoothly over glassy water…

Christ’s Coronation Hymn

The great thing is, we who are His people, we will see Christ crowned! We will see it–King of Kings and Lord of Lords, whose right it is to rule Creation.

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this rendition by the kids at Fountainview Academy.

Comfort: ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’

I need comfort today, and this is maybe the most comforting hymn I know: What a Friend We Have in Jesus, here performed by the kids at Fountainview Academy. I love to whistle this hymn when I walk alone.

‘Blessings’ from Fountainview

This is Blessings, by Laura Story, performed by Fountainview Academy students Ellen Richards and Ryo Fusamae: it’s kind of a blessing to watch and listen to it. I hope it’s a nice start to your Sunday.

‘I Know Whom I Have Believed’

[F]or I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.   2 Timothy 1:12

I’d never heard this hymn before–I Know Whom I Have Believed, here sung beautifully by the young people at Fountainview Academy, British Columbia. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for inspiring the creation of beauty that also conveys truth.

‘Do You Know My Jesus?’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This one’s for Phoebe–Do You Know My Jesus?, sung by the Fountainview Academy Choir. She had only heard this hymn once before, years ago, but had never forgotten it. I can see why.

I don’t know what language the subtitles are in, but my guess would be Rumanian. Anybody out there know for sure?

‘Crown Him With Many Crowns’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Welcome on a Saturday morning–and we have the kids from Fountainview Academy, British Columbia, performing Crown Him With Many Crowns. Just getting the piano to this location was an achievement in itself:  but the hymn is beautiful.

Today’s Hymn: ‘Lest Ye Sorrow’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This is the Fountainview Academy, in British Columbia, with part of i Thessalonians Chapter 4 set to music, Lest Ye Sorrow. If you’re a Christian who spends much time in the Bible, you’ll find these words familiar: “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” If you’re not–well, something wonderful awaits you.
