‘Immortal, Invisible, the Only Wise God’

A good old 19th-century hymn, sung by the Smucker Family: Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise. And it’s a beautiful day outside, so I want to get out and enjoy it.

By Request: ‘Immortal, Invisible’

The computer’s giving me fits this morning; that’s why I’m late.

But! We have a hymn request from Elder Mike: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise. It’s taken from 1 Timothy 1: 17-20. Sung here by the Smucker Family.

‘Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise’

No hymn requests–quite a bit more about that, a little later–so I posted the first one I found on the YouTube home page. I know I’ve posted it before, but who’s going to complain? Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise, sung by the Smucker Family.

‘Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise’

No, I haven’t been to any nooze sites yet this morning. I know I’ll be disappointed there. And no likes, no comments, either.

So let’s post a hymn, shall we? Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise, sung by the Smucker Family… with background sets by God’s hand.

The other stuff can wait.

 

By Request, ‘Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross’

We have a hymn request from Phoebe–Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross, a classic hymn by Fanny Crosby, sung by the Smucker Family.

It crosses my mind just now, “How good this is!” I’ll have to write about that a little later.

‘Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross’

We haven’t heard this hymn in a while, have we? Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross–a dear old classic by Fanny Crosby, sung here by the Smucker Family. Background sets by God the Father.

‘Like a River Glorious’

I wanted to post To Be a Pilgrim, but was afraid I’d worn out its welcome. Then this one popped into my head. Ah! Just right! Like a River Glorious, sung by the Smucker Family. Sets by God the Father: beauty the work of His hands.

‘Like a River Glorious’

I wrote this title down, just before I went to bed last night–Like a River Glorious, sung a capella by the Smucker Family. Oh, the background scenery! We used to have places like that around here. I miss them.

‘Like a River Glorious’

Like a River Glorious, sung in glorious harmony by The Smucker Family–what would you give, to put your boat upon that river? And I don’t know about you, but I find God’s handiwork, in the colors of the autumn leaves, as stirring as a song.

‘Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise’

Well, the hymn contest is winding down, it’ll be closed on Aug. 8, only a few readers participate… I tried.

No entries this morning, so I’ll go with a favorite of my own: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise, sung by the Smucker Family.

It’s not too late to join the rather small throng of contest entrants. A hymn request is a contest entry, and you can make it by leaving a comment anywhere on this blog. The hymn that gets the most views on the day it was requested is the winning hymn, and whoever requested it gets a prize.

So far the leading hymn has a mere 21 votes.

I’d love to hear from some of you who’ve never entered!
