By Request: ‘Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me’

A hymn request: Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me, performed by the Mennonite Hour Singers. Requested by “Somone”–that’s WordPress, my friend, making you anonymous. I’d make them stop doing that if I knew how. Beautiful backdrop settings by the hand of God the Father.

‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’

We’ve got no entries into our Christmas Carol Contest this morning, so I’m on my own to choose a hymn.

Good Christian Men Rejoice, performed by the Mennonite Hour Singers…

Lord , I pray this Christmas for a spirit of reconciliation: we, your servants, are in need of it.

By Request, ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’

There are many videos of this wonderful old hymn; this one, by the Mennonite Hour Singers, I couldn’t resist.

Requested by Erlene, and entered into the carol contest: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. First published in 1849 and still going strong.

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

When I was a little boy, my mother and my aunts used to sing this hymn while they went about their housework: I Need Thee Every Hour, sung here by the Mennonite Hour Singers. Background sets by God the Father.

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

My mother and my aunts used to sing this hymn. I’m old enough now to see how true it is!

Sung here by the Mennonite Hour Singers: I Need Thee Every Hour.

Background sets by God the Father.

By Request, ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’

Oh, God! They’re killing our civilization, they hunt our souls. We have never needed Our Lord Jesus Christ as we need Him now.

Requested by Ina–It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers.

By Request, ‘Go Tell It On the Mountain’

Last night in the carol contest the lead finally changed hands–and it could change again today, who knows? We’ve got three on the list already.

First this one, requested by Phoebe: Go Tell It On the Mountain, by the Mennonite Hour Singers.

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

I remember my mother singing this hymn as she went about her housework. My grandma used to sing it, too. I Need Thee Every Hour, sung here by the Mennonitce Hour Singers. Background sets by God the Father.

By Request, ‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow’

Here’s the next hymn requested by Phoebe: His Eye Is on the Sparrow, sung here by the Mennonite Hour Singers. I love the background settings–God’s handiwork.

Now I have to try to catch up on lost time, go out for supplies, and cope with freezing rain. With any luck at all, it’ll turn into an ice storm.

‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee’

Let’s see if we can get this blog started up today… Perhaps a little Beethoven: Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers.

The hymn shop is open and we’re taking requests.
