Okay, it’s not exactly a hymn; but I agree with Elder Mike, who requested it–it’s not hard to fit this Johnny Cash song into a context of Revelation. Prophecy warns us to leave our evil ways. We should listen.

Revelation! ‘The Man Comes Around’
I don’t generally post two hymns in the morning, but The Man Comes Around, by Johnny Cash, is one we all need to here. It is, as it were, Revelation set to music. Requested by Elder Mike.
We had all better be ready when the man comes around.
Another Theme Song: ‘The Rebel’
If you don’t already know whose voice that was, singing the theme song of The Rebel, chances are you’ll recognize it when you hear it.
Yes, it was Johnny Cash, back in 1959-1961: he wasn’t famous yet. But it was a hit TV show, and singing the theme song was a big boost for his career.
In fact, for a lot of us–me, for instance–the story lines are blurred or altogether wiped away… but we remember the music.
(Yeesh, there was even a Rebel board game! I nevcr played it, though.)
By Request, ‘Thanksgiving Prayer’
Requested by Elder Mike–Thanksgiving Prayer, by Johnny Cash. It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving for us to give thanksgiving, Mike points out. It’d be good for us all to keep that in mind.
‘The Old Rugged Cross’
No hymn requests have come in today, I’m on my own. This was the first one that came to mind–The Old Rugged Cross, sung by Johnny Cash. It used to choke me up, when I was a boy and we sang it in Sunday school. Sometimes it still does.
By Request, ‘I’m Just a Poor Wayfaring Stranger’
We have this hymn request from Phoebe, I’m Just a Poor Wayfaring Stranger, sung by Johnny Cash. So many wonderful hymns out there…
And oh, look! The sun came out! Thank the Lord for big favors.
By Request, ‘Wayfaring Stranger’
Here’s something a bit better than election nooze: Johnny Cash singing Wayfaring Stranger. Requested by SlimJim.
We never stop missing our loved ones who have departed this life before us. God gave us that faculty for a reason.
By Request, ‘I Shall Not Be Moved’
And we have a hymn request from Erlene, I Shall Not Be Moved. So many versions to choose from; I went with this one by Johnny Cash. But it’s all old-fashioned gospel, food and medicine for the soul.
By Request, ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’
All right, we’ve had enough nooze for one day. And we have a hymn request from Thewhiterabbit–Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (the good old stuff). I picked this rendition by Johnny Cash: most of us, I think, can sing along.
‘In the Sweet By and By’ (Johnny Cash)
I don’t have any hymn requests today, but I happened upon this video and thought it would do very nicely–In the Sweet By and By, sung by Johnny Cash. People have been loving this hymn since 1968.
