This is an evil age, and we who are God’s people need to sing louder! Not that He can’t hear us, no–we need to hear God’s praise.
So here, borrowed from Psalm 119, is Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet–kind of newfangled, but very good, nevertheless.

Hymn, ‘He Leadeth Me’
He leadeth me… Yes, that really is a blessed thought. If you’re not following Jesus Christ, where are you going?
I picked this version of the hymn because I like the sound of it. Feel free to sing along!
P.S.–Remember, I take requests. If there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, please let me know. It doesn’t even have to be on a Sunday. Given the condition of this fallen world today, when is a good time not to have a hymn?
Yes, We Do Requests! Hymn, ‘Be Thou My Vision’
Jaroc, you asked for this hymn, and I’m only too glad to post it here.
Be Thou My Vision is an ancient Irish hymn, and one of my all-time favorites. It deeply moves me every time I hear it.
I was kind of stuck for what to write about today. Scanning the news each morning can sometimes be a soul-deadening experience. I mean, really–Campus Sex Week? Have we really sunk to this?
But again, good advice for Christians:
Sing louder!
Our God is the God, an awesome God; and He hears us.
Hymn, ‘To God Be the Glory’
Here’s another hymn I never heard before, another high-spirited rendition by the Church of God. That congregation can really sing!
So let’s start our Sunday giving glory to God, and letting Him hear our thanksgiving and praise. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world!
Remember, I’m taking suggestions for hymns to post on Sunday morning, so if there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, please let me know.
Hymn, ‘Leaning on the Everlasting Arms’
Hey, where is everybody today? Hello out there?
Never mind. What do you say we kick off our weekend with a spirited rendition of a classic hymn? “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”–good advice!
There’s an awful lot of bad news in this fallen world, opposed to the good news of the gospel; but when you see that, there’s really only one thing a Christian can do.
Sing louder!
Be strong and of a good courage; be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
P.S.–If there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted on this site, please let me know. I’m taking suggestions.
Hymn, ‘Before the Throne of God Above’
Yes, I know it isn’t Sunday. But after a day of monitoring the news, I feel the need of a hymn.
This one comes to us courtesy of Weaving Word, a regular reader of this blog. I’d never heard it before, although it’s been around since 1863. Its soothing harmony carries a strong Biblical message.
Like the lady said–when things look bleak, sing louder.
Hymn, ‘Fairest Lord Jesus’
This old, old hymn still has power to move us.
I like to post a hymn here every Sunday morning.
If you have a favorite hymn, or a couple of favorites, that you’d like to see me post, don’t be bashful–tell me about it. Suggestions are more than welcome.
Hymn, ‘Bringing in the Sheaves’
When things look bleak; when the ungodly are riding high and whooping it up; when faith is at its low ebb–
What is the Christian to do?
Sing louder!
Best advice I ever heard, boys and girls. I heard it on this little, 15-minute Christian radio talk show.
Sing louder.
Bringing in the Sheaves is one of those old classic hymns that you can really put your heart into. I would love to hear King Ryons’ army sing it in their dozen different languages.
The guy who sings it here may not be the greatest singer in the world–ask God if He cares about that!–but I’ll bet you’ve never heard this glorious old hymn played on an autoharp. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve even seen a picture of an autoharp.
But enough talking–make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands!
Hymn: ‘The Son of God Goes Forth to War’
I never heard this hymn before. I stumbled over it while looking for something else.
Wow! Let’s share this, instead.
The son of God goes forth to war… Not the kind of sentiment appreciated these days, in Bible-less, Revelation-poor, wussified churches.
Nevertheless, brothers and sisters, there is a war out there, and it will come in through your window if you don’t go out to meet it.
Fight on the Lord’s side. Read Revelation to find out how it all turns out.
Hymn, ‘Bread of Heaven’
Welsh miners singing in How Green Was My Valley (English subtitles)
Once upon a time, on a little 15-minute Christian radio show whose name I can’t remember, I heard a woman say a very wise thing.
“When your faith is shaky; when you don’t know for sure, anymore, that God is with you; when the bad things in life keep piling up; when you just don’t know what’s what–
“That’s when you have to sing louder!”
What can I say but Amen?
