Erlene’s hymn request turned into one of those disappearing comments–but I think that problem’s been solved: more on that a little later, the hymn comes first.
Rock of Ages, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. Written in 1775 by Augustus Toplady and still going strong 250 years later.
Can I call this a hymn? Well, why not?
Requested by Ina, Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat, sung by Louis Armstrong. It comes from Guys and Dolls, and not from any hymnal. But the message of the song is Biblical–so again, why not?
Requested by Erlene: In the Presence of Jehovah, by Daywind.
The hymn shop is open to all, and today’s a new day.

This song is taken from Revelation, Chapter 5.
Requested by SlimJim, sung by Michael W. Smith–Agnus Dei (“Lamb of God”).
We’re open to hymn requests all day, everybody. If you have a hymn you’d like to share, just let us know.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus–this hymn gives good advice! Sometimes, covering the nooze, you get distracted and browbeaten into thinking that’s all there is.
Requested by Erlene, sung by Alan Jackson: consider it a time-out for spiritual health. For these are truly times that try our souls.
No hymn requests yet today; and it’s raining again, it’s hardly ever sunny out… So I’ll go with one of my favorite hymns, maybe it can lift my spirits and yours–Light of the World by Charles Wesley, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
I found this on the Voice of Eden channel: Just As I Am, sung in glorious harmony by a quintet from the Choir Masters Assn.
I can never hear this hymn without thinking of my Aunt Millie, whose pastor used to call her the church’s “ewe lamb.”
There’s a tradition that St. Francis of Assisi wrote the lyrics to this hymn.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale, All Creatures of Our God and King. Background sets by God the Father, the work of His hands.
I don’t want anybody thinking I’m going to turn into a DJ or anything like that; but I do mean to keep on posting hymns as requested.
Erlene got fed up with the nooze and asked me to post this instead–a classic hymn by Fanny Crosby, Blessed Assurance, sung by the Harpeth Gospel Quartet.
