No hymn requests this morning, no entries in the hymn contest, so I’ll have to pick the hymn myself.
O God, Our Help in Ages Past–written by Isaac Watts in 1719, sung here by the Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute: would you believe we used to sing this in high school, for assembly? But that was before secular humanism became the state religion.
It’s long past time for the spirit of this hymn to kick back into the church–Am I a Soldier of the Cross?, written in 1724 by Isaac Watts, sung here by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Do we fear to own Christ’s cause, or blush to speak His name? How badly do we crave the good opinion of a fallen world?
Would you believe it? We used to sing this hymn in high school, in assembly, before the Supreme Court decided we needed to be protected from Jesus.
O God, Our Help in Ages Past, written by Isaac Watts in 1719 and still going strong, sung here by the Sharon Mennonite Bible Singers. Background sets by God the Father.
This is a Sunday school favorite, I Sing the Mighty Power of God–and it’s been a favorite since Isaac Watts wrote it in 1715. Sung here by the Mountain Anthems. Background sets by God the Father.
I don’t know why this particular hymn is in my mind today, but it’s welcome and I want to share it: I sing the Mighty Power of God, written by Isaac Watts in 1715 and still glorious today, sung by the Mountain Anthems. The phrase that moves me most: “all that borrows life from thee.” We are only here because He is.
I know things are pretty freakin’ awful just now–but look to the heavens, look to the earth, and praise the Lord for His creation. God’s stuff still works, and always will.
Well, it’s snowed again. But at least we have a glorious hymn to start the day.
I Sing the Mighty Power of God–written by Isaac Watts back in 1715 and still going strong today: sung here by the Mountain Anthems. Background sets by God the Father.

The internet’s conking out on me again this morning, so I’d better hurry up and post this: a classic hymn by Isaac Watts, Am I a Soldier of the Cross. I couldn’t find the name of the performer.
