I wish I knew who it was, singing this hymn in this video–beautiful, stirring, just lovely, whoever you are. I Sing the Mighty Power of God is an old Sunday school favorite of mine.
Meanwhile, the hymn shop is open to your requests.

‘Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart’
*Sigh* Computers giving me fits, but I found a work-around so I can continue posting.
An old Sunday school favorite–Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart.
The hymn shop is open for requests.
‘Shall We Gather at the River’
“There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God…” Psalm 46:4
We need a hymn this morning. Here’s an old favorite, Shall We Gather at the River, sung by students at Fountainview Academy.
‘Bringing in the Sheaves’
A good old 19th-century hymn, Bringing in the Sheaves: I used to love singing it in Sunday school, even though I wasn’t quite sure what a “sheave” was.
Sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford–can’t ask for better than that.
‘Trust and Obey’
Such a beautiful job of singing this hymn! And I don’t know who they are.
An old Sunday school favorite, Trust and Obey–sung in beautiful harmony by whoever… with background sets by God the Father.
‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
I hope you’ll pardon me for knocking off early from the nooze today. Sometimes enough is enough.
And so a hymn, instead: All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name, sung by the Maranatha! Singers. The arrangement is a little hypermodern for me, but at least I found the melody I wanted.
This hymn forms part of one of my most vivid boyhood memories–an outdoor chapel service at Y Camp, overlooking a glorious spread of farmland and wooded hills, with the camp counselors singing the hymn. It’s been one of my favorites ever since.
‘Beautiful Savior’
This was another favorite hymn in Sunday school–Fairest Lord Jesus, sung here by the Oasis Chorale. Background sets by God the Father… beautiful, isn’t it, God’s handiwork?
‘Jesus Loves Me’
How about a little back to basics? Jesus Loves Me was the first hymn I ever learned–in between visits to that wonderful sand-box they had in Sunday school kindergarten. And I used to ride my bike along a woodland path, just like the one in this video. Oh, I miss that!
Sung by Rosemary Siemens.
‘I Sing the Mighty Power of God’
This was one of my favorite hymns, back in Sunday school, and the Ball Brothers do it justice–I Sing the Mighty Power of God. As in, “So who needs musical instruments? We’ve got voices!” Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’
This was one of my favorite hymns in Sunday school. We can enjoy it while we try to figure out how the students at Fountainview Academy brought the piano through the woods, down the hill, and onto the shore of the lake.
