‘Rock of Ages’

The trouble I have, posting blog posts on this site! Would you believe it took me 45 minutes to do this?

Well, it’s here now–Rock of Ages, one of the best-loved hymns in Christendom

This is an evil day on the calendar; but the Rock of Ages is our shelter and defense.

Written by Augustus Toplady in 1775; sung here by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. Background sets by God the Father.

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. whence cometh my help…”

Requested by Susan–and brace yourself, this is not the Rock of Ages that Christians have been singing since the 19th century. James Ward has a whole new melody for it.

Our friend SlimJim requested this hymn as an antidote to a mad, bad world: who can disagree? Rock of Ages, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir; with background sets by God the Father.

Erlene’s hymn request turned into one of those disappearing comments–but I think that problem’s been solved: more on that a little later, the hymn comes first.
