It’s not all bad today! We’ve got a new hymn performed by our friends and esteemed colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy Swanson–Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.
Now, if we could just persuade them to sing, too… Don’t be bashful, guys–you have an audience that loves you.
And old-fashioned him, performed the old-fashioned way–O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, by Charles Wesley, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
Well, it’s going to start raining any minute now, and there’s hardly anybody here this morning… And to start today with a hymn, we have an old Sunday school favorite, Trust and Obey. I wish I could tell you who’s singing it so beautifully, but I couldn’t find that information.
Do you ever wonder what God sees in us?
Requested by Phoebe, Too Close to the Mirror, by Eddie Ruth Bradford–“too close to the mirror to see what He sees.”
Well, I’m about as close to worn out as I want to be; but I did get my work done today, and now I can rest.
But first a hymn–requested by Phoebe, For All the Saints, performed by the Kings College Choir at Cambridge. And really, it’s beautiful.
I’d love to get some hymn requests from readers who haven’t asked for any before. Come on, don’t be shy. The hymn shop’s always open.
No requests today, so far–so I’ve chosen this spirited rendition of an old favorite, Bringing in the Sheaves, by the Nashville Singers.
Suggested by Thewhiterabbit–All Creatures of Our God and King, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale.
Are you noozed out by the time the weekend comes along? I am. So instead of nooze (it’ll still be there tomorrow), let’s hear this hymn that Joshua sent us–Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, sung by tenor Daniel Craig.
Hey, we’re not gonna clean up this mess by ourselves: we need the Lord to fight for us. Keep asking him; and I think He will.
I had a hard time copying this video, but it’s worth it–‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, performed by our own friends and esteemed colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy Swanson. Don’t forget to click “CC” for the lyrics, if they don’t show up right away. One of these days we’ll get these guys to sing for us, too.
This hymn reminds us, oh, so gently, that every new day is a new creation from God’s hand. And we are drawn in the spirit to Eden, where God once walked.
Sung by Orla Fallon, Morning Has Broken.
