Written in 1865, sung here by the Antrim Mennonite Choir, Day by Day is illuminated by these gorgeous photos of God the Father’s handiwork.
And it’s time to load the cart with Your Favorite Hymns again! We’d love to get some hymn requests from readers who haven’t made any before.
Your Favorite Hymns continues with this 19the century classic, I Know Whom I Have Believed, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir.
It’s getting to be time to fill up the hymn cart again. So if you’ve got a favorite hymn or two, or half a dozen favorite hymns, that you’d like to share here, please just let us know.
I’m happy someone asked for this–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. This is the Gordon Quartet–no musical instruments but their own voices, just sitting in a living room. Remarkable.
The first time I ever heard this hymn was in Night of the Hunter, sung by Lillian Gish and Robert Mitchum.
Phoebe asked for this classic spiritual, and we’re happy to oblige. Gee, I remember singing this at Y Camp sing-along–Go Down, Moses. “Down to Egypt-land… Tell old Pharaoh, Let my people go.” I think this rendition by Louis Armstrong is the most popular one. (Sorry–couldn’t find one with more verses.)
Hey, everybody–time to fill the hymn-cart again!
They called this an “epic version” of the hymn, Oh, the Deep Love of Jesus, and I can’t disagree: everything about it is superb. Simon Khorolskiy sings, Katie Gayduchik plays the violin, and the ocean in the background majestically shows off God’s handiwork.
It’s getting to be time to list some more of Your Favorite Hymns: the cart needs filling.
Your Favorite Hymns continues with a treat from the Church of God, I Feel Like Traveling On. This is another hymn that’ll stay with you for a while. I’d never heard it before, but I know I won’t forget it.
Oh, yeah, we need our hymns just now!
Johnny Cash performed this rendition of I Saw the Light as part of a “Columbo” episode–and this is a hymn that’ll stay with you for a while.
Pray for our country and trust in the Lord, whose hand is on the wheel of history and who never sleeps. Trust in the Lord and trust in the light that he provides us.
And sing louder.
Your Favorite Hymns continues with Love Lifted Me, sung by Alan Jackson; and we’ve just about gotten through another load of hymn requests, so it’s time to fill the cart again. If you’ve got a favorite hymn or two, or even half a dozen of them, that you’d like to share with other readers, just let us know.
You can’t ask for people’s favorite hymns and not get requests for this one–For the Beauty of the Earth, a 19th-century classic. This rendition is by Michelle Swift.
It’s easy to forget that Elvis Presley loved to sing Gospel. Farther Along is a classic Gospel hymn, sung in many churches.
Your Favorite Hymns continues, and it’s getting time to fill the cart again. If you have a favorite hymn or two, or half a dozen, that you’d like to share here, just let us know.
