‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

Considering our need for revival, and our need for the determination and the grit to see it through, this hymn is suitable to the occasion, don’t you think? Onward, Christian Soldiers, sung by the Sanctuary Choir at First Methodist Houston.

(Shout-out to Methodists: Asbury University, where they’ve announced that they’re shutting down the revival, is your college, folks! If you’ve got anything to say to them about this, now’s the time.)

‘We Gather Together’

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without this hymn. I know I’ve been singing it, and hearing it sung, for every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.

‘Come Thou Almighty King’

We don’t have any hymn requests yet today, so I fall back on my store of favorites. This is one of them–Come Thou Almighty King, sung by the Sanctuary Choir at First Methodist Church, Houston.

Lively! ‘Jesus Saves’

I love this hymn, I can’t resist it. And I never heard this lively approach to it before, so why not post it?

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

This hymn has been on my mind lately, so I thought I’d better post it–Christ for the World We Sing, here performed by the Sanctuary Choir at First United Methodist Downtown, in Houston, Texas.

Hey out there–if you’ve got a favorite hymn you’d like to share, there’s no time like the present to make a hymn request. Just leave a comment anywhere and we’ll do the rest.

‘There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy’

I was thinking of this hymn, these past few days. Back in Sunday school, when we were introduced to the adult hymnal used in the regular church services, this was the first hymn that they had us sing. We had kind of an odd hymnal, though, with melodies you never heard in other churches: so I couldn’t find There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy with the melody that I remembered.

Sung here by the Sanctuary Choir.
