This hymn personifies the Sunday school experience. “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.” With good old Mrs. Raleigh on the piano. And the birds in the chorus, outside.

‘Be Thou My Vision’
This has long been one of my favorite hymns–Be Thou My Vision, an ancient Irish hymn. Sung here by the Lebanon County Youth Chorus.
‘Beautiful Savior’
I’ve got a doctor’s appointment today, but let’s take some time for a hymn.
Beautiful Savior (Fairest Lord Jesus) : I loved to sing this song in Sunday school. Once in a while it made me cry. It doesn’t do that anymore, but I do still love it.
‘Come Thou Almighty King’
It’s been a long time since I heard this hymn, Come Thou Almighty King. Here it is, performed by Keith and Krystyn Getty.
I had a very bad night last night, so if you want to help me out, request a hymn or two.
‘Living for Jesus’
This is a hymn we sang a lot in Sunday school: Living for Jesus, sung here by the NCrew.
O, I pray the LORD will hear me! Just now, everything hurts.
‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
I can never find the tune that went with this hymn in our church. Oh, well, keep looking: someday it’ll be there.
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name, sung by Blue Rock Mennonite Youth. Background sets by God the Father.
‘Up from the Grave He Arose’
Easter hymns get posted at Easter-time… unless I want to post one now.
Here’s an old Sunday school favorite, sung by the Voice of Eden: Up from the Grave He Arose. It’s one of those things we must remember. And rejoice in.
‘Trust and Obey’
I don’t know who’s singing this, I have to hurry because the man is here to perform a checkup on our computers.
But first–here’s a hymn we sang a lot in Sunday school: Trust and Obey. Very nice a capella version.
‘How Firm a Foundation’
There’s a book I must read for Chalcedon, and I’ve fallen a few days behind, so today we’re playing catch-up. The assignment is important because Chalcedon is trying to decide whether to publish the book, and they’d like my input.
For more years than I care to count, I was on the receiving end of vain and catty rejection letters. I’ll try hard not to follow their example.
Anyway, I might be short on posts today.
Here’s a hymn we sang in Sunday school: How Firm a Foundation, sung here by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
‘Yield Not to Temptation’
Both our computers have been on strike this morning, up till just now–so fingers crossed, and here we go.
We sang this hymn in Sunday school–Yield Not to Temptation. (I can close my eyes and see Mrs. Raleigh at the piano.)
Maybe play a little horseshoes in the afternoon.
