‘O Worship the King’

This is the hymn that greeted me this morning, so this is the one I’ll post first–O Worship the King, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

But we are still taking requests for Christmas hymns, and if you’ve got any, I’m happy to post them.

In my own lifetime the world has never needed Christmas more than it needs it now.

‘O Worship the King’

I love this hymn, O Worship the King, maybe because it’s the first one I learned to play on the harmonica. And I love this performance of it by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. Yes, I know I’ve posted it before. And if there’s a favorite hymn of yours that I’ve posted before, and you’d like to see again, all you gotta do is ask.

‘O Worship the King’

I’m feeling kind of wrung out today, but I love this hymn, O Worship the King, and this performance of it by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. You can make out the lyrics, for one thing. This was the first hymn I learned to play on my harmonica. I am glad to keep it in my heart.

Encore, ‘O Worship the King’

I love this hymn, the first hymn I ever learned to play on my harmonica. It can be traced back to the 1500’s, and the melody as we know it first appeared in 1708. This rendition, in 18th-century style, is by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band: O Worship the King.

I know I tend to repeat myself in my selection of hymns; so if there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, just let us know.

‘O, Worship the King’ (Plus Prayer Request)

This was the first hymn I learned to play on my harmonica. I still love it! O Worship the King–and I wish I knew who’s performing it in this video.

And, please, let’s keep praying for our sisters, Erlene and Phoebe, who’ve been sick all week: please, Lord, be swift to help and heal them! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

‘O Worship the King’ (Judi Klee)

The classic, O Worship the King, is one of my very favorite hymns, the first hymn I learned how to play on the harmonica. I hope you don’t mind this updated rendition by David and Judi Klee, with Michael Klee on drums. I found it gave me a lift.

‘O Worship the King’

This is what I found myself whistling yesterday as I rode my bike–O Worship the King, one of the all-time classic hymns of praise. I really wish I knew who was singing this. Whoever that lead singer is, he comes very close to failure–and yet the overall effect he creates is beautiful and very moving. But then we should be stirred by praising God.

‘O Worship the King’ (Mennonite Choir)

The most important business of this blog, and all of us who take part in it, is to proclaim the glory of God and the lordship of Jesus Christ. That’s why the first thing I post every day is a hymn.

O Worship the King, sung by the Pilgrim Mennonite Mission Choir–a hymn that never fails to move me, and I hope it’s one of your favorites, too.

Encore, ‘O Worship the King’

I don’t know who’s singing this, but this is O Worship the King as I learned it in Sunday school, and taught myself to play it on my harmonica. The other melody, a little different, is actually older.

Listen. Mark the lyrics well. This is what we believe. This is the substance of our lives. Worship the King, the Lord Our God.

Encore: ‘O Worship the King’

This is one of my all-time favorite hymns, O Worship the King–and I just love the way Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band perform it.

Now, be honest: if you’d been the one creating the world, would you have thought to wire music into it? Well, God did!
