I know how hard this is to believe, nowadays; but this hymn, God of Our Fathers, we sang in assembly… at our public high school! I am glad I come from that time instead of this.
Performed here by students at Fountainview Academy.

Would you believe it? We used to sing this in assembly at high school–before The Government decided that we couldn’t. God of Our Fathers–and we’re not told who’s performing it here, but whoever it might be… thank you.
I don’t know who’s singing it, or where they are–but this is God of Our Fathers, and it has power. Would you believe we used to sing this at assembly in high school? My Aunt Millie, the school secretary, used to read us a Bible passage over the intercom at the start of every day. And then they took it all away because they said it was harmful to us and against the Constitution–a document which they never lose an opportunity to insult.
We used to sing this hymn in high school, in assembly, before the Supreme Court took a nosedive into atheism.

This is a rousing hymn, and we need rousing. If we’re going to come back from this stupid coronavirus crisis (brought to you by Red China experimenting with germ warfare), we can only do it by turning back to God. Bizarre perversions and gross immorality won’t do it for us. Repent, re-dedicate ourselves to God our shield,and America will indeed be great again.
God of Our Fathers–I wish I knew whose performance this is. Thank you, whoever you are.
We used to sing this hymn in assembly in high school, before the Supreme Court suddenly decided that mentioning God in a public place was against the law: God of Our Fathers, performed by the kids at Fountainview Academy.
It was better then.
From St. Bartholomew’s Church, New York City: God of Our Fathers.
Let this hymn serve as a timely reminder of the eternal majesty of God the Father, who made the heavens and the earth and all things in them: of whom it is rightly said, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. As Steve Brown often preached, “If you’re not a little bit afraid, then it’s not God you’re talking to.” For further information, revisit Isaiah Chapter 6.
Here’s another one we used to sing in assembly in high school, until the Supreme Court came along and established secular humanism as the official religion before which all others must bow.
Gee, I wish we’d paid more attention to this hymn, and truly taken it to heart, while we were singing it!
You know what we should’ve done? We should’ve ignored them–just as Peter and John ignored the Temple authorities when they ordered them to stop preaching Jesus Christ.
We should have kept on praying, kept on singing, kept on saying “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holiday” (really, could anything be more ridiculous than a holiday whose name may not be mentioned?)–what were they gonna do about it? Throw us to the lions?
Now, this day, today–now is the time to stand back up again: and sing louder.
