‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’

Let “the Lutheran Warbler” keep you company this morning as I vegetate in the doctor’s waiting room. All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name is one of my favorite hymns–and she sings all the verses.

Well, I made a hash of that. Tomorrow’s hymn will now appear today, and I’ll have to switch today’s hymn to tomorrow.

‘Crown Him with Many Crowns’

I don’t know her name, but “the Lutheran Warbler” keeps smiling at me from the youtube page, and I think she means to sing her way through the entire Lutheran hymnal–a project well worth doing, well worthy of applause. So here she is with Crown Him with Many Crowns.

‘Abide With Me’

Henry Lyte wrote Abide With Me as he lay dying with tuberculosis, in 1847. He lived only three weeks longer. But what a way to take your last bow.

Sung here by “the Lutheran Warbler.” I found her version very moving.

By Request, ‘The Church’s One Foundation’

“Thewhiterabbit” asked for this hymn, a good old classic, The Church’s One Foundation. And I thought you might enjoy hearing the Lutheran Warbler again. The simplicity of her renditions, oh, that brings me back!

By Request, ‘Thy Strong Word’

Thy Strong Word, requested by “thewhiterabbit,” is a hymn about God as our Creator and our source of life and righteousness. It’s sung by “The Lutheran Warbler,” and I wish I could give her due credit, but I couldn’t find her name anywhere. Lots of Lutherans in my family.
