Bonus Hymn, ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

This is the kind of hymn that I grew up with–choir and piano, Onward, Christian Soldiers, at the Laodicean Church of God. It ministers to me just now.

I’m getting nowhere pretty fast today, I haven’t got a trace of an idea for a Newswithviews piece, and I’ve got another book to review for Chalcedon and I might as well get back to work on it… So I’ll see you later.

‘O Worship the King’

An old Sunday school favorite: I taught myself the harmonica, trying to work out how to play this–

O Worship the King, played and sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

Bonus Hymn, ‘He Leadeth Me’

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m lost in the woods at night and keep blundering into trees–and it hurts. I need my Shepherd! I need my lord Jesus Christ to take me by the hand and lead me out of here.

So here’s a hymn, it popped into my head–He Leadeth Me, sung by the Mennonite Hour Quartet.

Beautiful pictures. We used to have places like that around here, until enviro-hypocrites paved them over.

‘He Hideth My Soul’

A classic hymn from 1890, by Fanny Crosby–one of some eight or nine thousand that she wrote–He Hideth My Soul, sung by Nathan and Lyle with family and friends: no hymn requests awaiting me this morning, so here’s one of my favorites.

‘Trust and Obey’

No hymn requests this morning, so I’ve posted the first hymn that came into my head–an old Sunday school favorite, Trust and Obey. I don’t know who’s singing it, but they’re doing it just right.

If only we could do as the hymn recommends…

‘He Leadeth Me’

I could use God’s leading, just now; I feel almost like I’m stuck in a hall of mirrors.

Anyhow, here are the students from Fountainview Academy on a beach in Hawaii, with an old Sunday school favorite–He Leadeth Me.

‘Yield Not to Temptation’

I feel emotionally strung out this morning, and found it very hard to select a hymn. I’m also finding it hard to pray, so please pray for me.

Anyhow, here’s a Sunday school favorite, sung by Nathan and Lyle–Yield Not to Temptation. I wanted a hymn that wouldn’t make me cry; but this one did, after all.

‘Yield Not to Temptation’

You don’t need to be in church, you don’t need a studio or microphones. to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Your living room will do.

No hymn requests this morning, so I’m on my own–with Nathan and Lyle and an old Sunday school favorite, Yield Not to Temptation (published 1868).

‘Yield Not to Temptation’

I have to rush out and buy the week’s groceries, etc.; but first, this hymn was on my mind when I woke up today, I feel I ought to post it–an old Sunday school favorite, Yield Not to Temptation (published in 1868). Nathan (mandolin) and Lyle (guitar)–yes, I love the way they do this hymn.

‘Trust and Obey’ (Fountainview Academy)

An old Sunday school favorite–Trust and Obey, just a flute and a piano and two kids from Fountainview Academy. We know the words, don’t we?

This hymn, this quiet, peaceful setting for it, wakens sweet and golden memories…
