‘He Hideth My Soul’

No likes, no comments, no hymn requests today so far; but I do have this hymn in mind. One of eight or nine thousand hymns that Fanny Crosby wrote: He Hideth My Soul, sung on a beach in Hawaii by students from Fountainview Academy.

I’m glad they didn’t try to bring a piano down the cliff.

‘Wonderful Words of Life’

No hymn requests yet: so I dip into my bag of favorites and come up with a good old Sunday school favorite, Wonderful Words of Life, played and sung by the students at Fountainview Academy.

How they get that piano into the woods is a mystery to me.

‘Abide With Me’

No hymn requests today, as yet. Well, it’s early. Open the hymn shop and see who comes in.

For the time being, we have Abide With Me, performed by students at Fountainview Academy. Background sets by God the Father.

‘To God Be the Glory’

I had a hankering for this hymn today; and as there are no hymn requests as yet this morning, and none pending–well, why not? To God Be the Glory, in a mountain meadow, performed by the students at Fountainview Academy.

‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’ (Fountainview)

There are so many beautiful renditions of this hymn. Here’s one by the kids at Fountainview Academy–What a Friend We Have in Jesus. This is a real Sunday school favorite; and a few people have told me they like it when I whistle it as I walk through their neighborhood.

By Request, ‘Crown Him with Many Crowns’

I don’t want to turn myself into a DJ, but we need these hymns to remind us that God is with us, whatever happens. It’s an antidote to the nooze.

Requested by Phoebe–Crown Him With Many Crowns, done up royally by the students at Fountainview Academy.

‘He Leadeth Me’

I could use God’s leading, just now; I feel almost like I’m stuck in a hall of mirrors.

Anyhow, here are the students from Fountainview Academy on a beach in Hawaii, with an old Sunday school favorite–He Leadeth Me.

By Request, ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

A lot of squishy churches won’t sing this hymn anymore. Shame on them: they crave this fallen world’s approval.

Requested by Erlene, performed by the students at Fountainview Academy–Onward, Christian Soldiers.

Sing it louder, so those churches can hear you.

‘Trust and Obey’ (Fountainview Academy)

An old Sunday school favorite–Trust and Obey, just a flute and a piano and two kids from Fountainview Academy. We know the words, don’t we?

This hymn, this quiet, peaceful setting for it, wakens sweet and golden memories…

‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder’

Huh! No hymn requests this morning. I’ll have to post the first one that pops into my head.

When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder, performed by the students at Fountainview Academy–yes, I think this’ll do…
