This was the first hymn that came into my head today–I Sing the Mighty Power of God, by Isaac Watts in 1715 and still going strong today. I’ll always remember it as a Sunday school favorite. Sung here by the Mountain Anthems.

By Request: ‘Yes, Jesus Loves Me’
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by Rosemary Siemens: Yes, Jesus Loves Me.
This was the first hymn I ever learned to sing, going all the way back to Sunday school with toys and a sandbox. All those years ago…
‘This Is My Father’s World’
No hymn requests today, not yet (and we are freezing our Climbit Chainge butts off), so let’s go with this: This Is My Father’s World, sung by students at Fountainview Academy.
This is my Father’s world: O let me ne’er forget
That tho’ the wrong seem oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
‘O Worship the King’
I loved this hymn in Sunday school: one of the first hymns I learned to play on my harmonica: O Worship the King, performed here by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
‘Bringing in the Sheaves’
I loved this hymn in Sunday school–Bringing in the Sheaves–even if I wasn’t quite sure what “sheaves” were. Sung by choir and congregation at Islington Baptist Church. (Yes, I know by now what sheaves are.)
‘Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart’
When I hear this hymn, I’m back in the Fellowship Hall at our Dutch Reformed Church, singing with the rest of the Sunday school.
Rejoice, Ye Pure In Heart , presented by the Antipolo United Methodist Church.
By Request, ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
Singing it like they mean it! Requested by Erlene, led by Bishop Clarence McClendon: All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.
This brings me back to Sunday school. We loved to sing this hymn.
‘Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus’
Here’s an old Sunday school favorite–Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus, sung by Fountainview Academy students on tour in Europe. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard this one!
‘Yield Not to Temptation’
First hymn to pop into my mind this morning, no requests forthcoming–an old Sunday school favorite, Yield Not to Temptation. Sung by Nathan and Lyle, and also known as Look Ever to Jesus.
‘Wonderful Words of Life’
This hymn was a real Sunday school favorite–Wonderful Words of Life, sung by the Dallas Christian Adult Concern Choir. It brings back sweet memories.
