The Ends of All the Earth Shall Sing’

Joshua and Jeremy play The Ends of All the Earth Shall Hear. I feel like it’s been a long time since I posted one of their hymns. Well, better late than never.

‘Will the Circle Be Unbroken?’

We have an instrumental of this good old hymn, performed by our dear friends the Swanson Brothers, Joshua and Jeremy: Will the Circle Be Unbroken? I found it very moving, even without the lyrics.

 

‘In the Sweet By and By’

Joshua and Jeremy, you’ve outdone yourselves! This is just beautiful: an instrumental of a classic hymn, In the Sweet By and By. It brought a tear to my eye… yes, it did.

‘He Who Would Valiant Be’ (J&J)

I couldn’t help myself: it brought me to tears, and I just had to post it.

He Who Would Valiant Be–aka To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan–performed by Joshua and Jeremy Swanson. Just beautiful!

‘Praise the Savior, Now and Ever’

Where does the time go? I feel like Joshua and Jeremy went from boys to men just while I’ve been sitting here. But they’re still making music we can share.

Praise the Savior, Now and Ever–it’s another hymn I haven’t heard before.

‘Away in a Manger’ (British Melody)

Well, no hymn requests, no Christmas carols, this morning–not yet. Let me treat you to Away in a Manger, played by our dear friends and colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy.

And so “Anonymous,” aka “Someone,” is still leading in our annual Christmas Carol Contest. How the heck can I award a prize to “Someone”?

Sure we can do more than 22 views…

‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’

[I couldn’t stop the comment contest with less than 100 to go to reach No. 100,000–just couldn’t do it! Maybe it could be wrapped up today–and then on to our annual Christmas Carol Contest. But “100,000 views” will never come again.]

Our friends the Swanson Brothers, Joshua and Jeremy, with Scott Swanson on the keyboard: Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

‘Arise, My Soul, Arise’

*Sigh* No hymn requests this morning. And really rotten weather. Oh, well…

I’ve found this for you: our friends and esteemed colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy–with Arise, My Soul, Arise. 

‘I Was a Wandering Sheep’

Our friends Joshua and Jeremy have been busy lately. We like to post all their hymns.

This one, I Was a Wandering Sheep, I’d never heard before. God knows we all do our share of wandering.

But the point is… to get back. We belong to Christ’s sheepfold; and at some time or other, we all need to find our way back.

‘This World Is Not My Home’

I never heard this whole hymn before. The Incredible String Band borrowed a line from it–“I ain’t got no home in this world anymore.” Mis-applied it, of course. I think we’ll be happier with this version by Joshua and Jeremy.
