‘Blessed Assurance’

 

Fanny Crosby wrote somewhere between 8,000 and 9,000 hymns in her career. Blessed Assurance is one of them. I hope you like the way Alan Jackson sings it.

By Request, ‘The Old Rugged Cross’

Several of you included The Old Rugged Cross among your favorite hymns–and this is surely a time for clinging to the cross of Christ. This version is by Alan Jackson.

‘Holy, Holy, Holy’

Several of you put this one on your list of favorite hymns, and I’m happy to post it today–Holy, Holy, Holy. I wish I could tell you who was singing it–beautiful, clear harmony–but that information isn’t given.

The symbol on the screen is an ancient Christian symbol, the “Chi Rho”–the first two letters of “Christos,” in the Greek alphabet.

By Request, ‘Too Close to the Mirror’

Your Favorite Hymns continues with Too Close to the Mirror by Eddie Ruth Bradford. Have you ever wondered, “What does God see in us?” That’s what this song is about.

We can keep this going all year and then some, if readers keep adding to the list.
