Requested by Joshua, We Gather Together, sung a capella by GLAD.
For me this is the Thanksgiving hymn. We sang it in Sunday school. We even sang it in public school: it was before “educators” and “judges” figured out what harm it does children to believe in God. I put quotes around those words on purpose. Shame on us for letting them impose their will on us.
I wish I knew who’s singing this, so I could tell you, but that information wasn’t available to me. Come Ye Thankful People, Come–we wouldn’t want to go into Thanksgiving without it.
Whew! Back from an exhausting trip to Wegman’s: great store, but so noisy, so crowded!
Erlene thought we might enjoy this classic hymn by Martin Luther, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. We need that fortress. And we look forward to that day when the angelic host comes marching out of it.
Please feel free, everybody, to request Thanksgiving hymns (or any hymns at all, really). This is the choir at First Plymouth Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, singing Now Thank We All Our God. This classic Thanksgiving hymn goes back a ways: written in 1636, music composed and published in 1647.
Thanksgiving week is here–at let’s get it started with Near to the Heart of God, sung by the students at Fountainview Academy.
Yeah, it’s time to post this again–Days of Elijah, sung with gusto by a hall full of U.S. Marines. Erlene suggested it last night.
Turn the volume way up! And be inspired.
Erlene asked for this one–In His Time, by Maranatha! Music. I couldn’t resist the butterflies–among the most beautiful and captivating of all God’s creatures.
This blog needs airing out! Too much nooze today! So here’s an antidote.
Requested by Erlene, Shine, Jesus, Shine–and I don’t know who’s performing it, but at least there’s lyrics so you can sing along.
Yeah, I know, the nooze is dreck and I get tired of reporting it. But we do need to be aware of what we’re up against: and we want to be equipped as faithful and effective servants, should the Lord call us.
How ancient are these churches! How deeply rooted is the faith!
This is the Morriston Orpheus Choir singing Bread of Heaven in English and Welsh, in churches that look like they grew out of the earth, to nestle amid scenes of natural beauty, God’s handiwork.
True, I just posted this hymn a few days ago. But Erlene has requested it twice; and when that happens–because it happens with me, too–I get to thinking God has a reason for wanting us to repeat a hymn, or a Bible reading, or whatever else might be knocking at our door. So here it is–It Is Well with My Soul, sung by Guy Penrod, David Phelps, and company.
