We don’t happen to have a hymn request yet this morning, so I’ll fall back on one of my favorites–the old Scottish hymn, Behold the Mountain of the Lord, sung by Godfrey Birtill.
And if there’s still a Christmas hymn or two you’d like to hear, please let us know.
Requested by Joshua–and on his birthday, no less: how can I say No?–Be Thou My Vision, by GLAD.
This is one of my very favorite hymns–and do you guys know how old it is? It’s from the early 700’s! And still very popular today. What wouldn’t I give to hear it the way it sounded when it was first sung? I wonder what musical instruments they used. God bless those Irish monks who kept the lights on, all through the Dark Ages.
We have a hymn request from SlimJim to start the day–O Church Arise, by Keith and Kryistyn Getty.
We try to start every blogging day with a hymn, and always welcome hymn requests.
I’ve never heard a more beautiful piece of music than this–Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach. This performance is by St. George’s Singers, with an oboe solo.
We love posting hymns requested by our readers! And as far as we’re concerned, there’s no such thing as a wrong time for a Christmas carol.
Requested by Joshua–Go Tell It on the Mountain, sung a capella by GLAD.
I thought we needed this today: …And let me ne’er forget/ That tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,/ God is the ruler yet. And He can see what a hash we’ve made of things.
This Is My Father’s World, sung by Fernando Ortega; with background sets by God the Father.
Before I write up any more nooze today–if I bother to do it at all–let me post his hymn requested by Erlene: He’s Still God, by Carroll Roberson.
Yes, we’re taking hymn requests. We’ll keep taking them till we get shut down.
I couldn’t let the Christmas season go without posting this lively performance of We Three Kings by Hugh Jackman, David Hodson, and Peter Cousen. Can these guys sing, or what!
The carol contest is over, but we’re still taking requests.
We’re going to need tranquility, and you’ll find some in this video: He Who Would Valiant Be, sung against a backdrop of the Goathland Moors on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, steam engine and all.
And we will need to be valiant, too. I haven’t yet steeled myself to look at nooze today. May God give us courage, strengthen our faith, and strengthen our hands: in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Requested by Susan, this is Psalm 121–“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help,” in the old King James Version–set to music by Keith and Kristyn Getty, sung by Kristyn. Background sets by God the Father.
