‘The Great I Am’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Reader Weavingword, this one’s for you, at your request. I was going to save it for tomorrow, but why not this evening?

For those of you who feel a bit tentative about requesting “Christian music” that is not technically a hymn, because it doesn’t appear in a hymnal–hey, no problem. The lyrics of this particular song would certainly not be out of place in a hymnal.

Some churches, I am told, don’t even use a hymnal anymore. Well, we needn’t get too involved just now in what some of the churches get up to.

Everybody else out there–this is an evil age. Sing louder.

 

Encore, ‘I Sing the Mighty Power of God’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I don’t know about you, but I need a hymn this morning. I think I may have posted this one some months ago, but it’s the one I want just now: I Sing the Mighty Power of God, with words by the old master, Isaac Watts, published in 1715.

Please feel free to request hymns to be posted on this blog. Lately everybody’s stopped doing that. I don’t know why. This fallen world hasn’t picked itself up and straightened itself out in the meantime.

Let me hear from you!

The Hymn Shop’s Still Open

All right, I had to select this one myself–Yield Not to Temptation (1868), with Nathan trading in his auto-harp for a mandolin. I love the way this hymn sounds with a mandolin.

Funny about that 19th century: so many terrible ideas that have damaged the world no end, like Marxism and Darwinism; and yet so many beautiful hymns that we still love today.

The hymn shop is open to all, and I’m looking for requests, so don’t be shy! If there’s a hymn you want to hear, just scroll down and leave me a request. I’ll be sure to see it.

‘O, Worship the King’ with Autoharp and Flute

Before beginning this day’s spiritual warfare, let’s have some spiritual nourishment. O, Worship the King: music composed by Haydn and performed by ordinary folks.

Yo, everybody, the hymn shop is open every day! If there’s a hymn you’d like to hear on this site, just scroll down a bit and Leave a Comment.

Hymn, ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

By reader request (and I hope I’ve found the hymn you really wanted, Linda), Great Is Thy Faithfulness: Scripture set to music.

For those who have not yet requested a hymn–well, come on, give it a try.

We live in an evil age, and we need to sing louder.
