By Request, ‘Rock of Ages’-Plus
This hymn request came in from Joshua late yesterday, so I saved it for this morning–Guy Penrod singing a medley of Rock of Ages and I Stand Amazed. I don’t like to use up all the hymn requests at once, in case I don’t get any the next day.

Bonus Hymn, ‘Rock of Ages’
I’m posting this because last night I dreamed I was in a church, among the congregation, and we were singing Rock of Ages. I don’t know why I dreamed it: I just go with what the Lord gives me. Just take it up and go.
This beautiful a capella rendition is by the Antrim Mennonite Choir.

‘Rock of Ages’
We’ve all heard this hymn a thousand times: Rock of Ages, published in 1775. But it pays to pretend you’ve never heard it before–and listen. The lyrics preach a central tenet of Christianity.
Performed by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. Background sets by the Lord Our God, Maker of heaven and earth.

‘Rock of Ages’ (Fountainview Academy)
If you’re new to this blog–and a lot of you are–you should know we like to start each blogging day with a hymn; and we especially like hymns requested by readers. If you have a hymn you’d like to see posted here, just let us know (“Leave a Reply”).
Meanwhile, here’s Rock of Ages, sung by the kids at Fountainview Academy, British Columbia. I wonder if they have any idea how many people have been blessed by their music.
