‘Break Thou the Bread of Life’ (Fountainview)
I’m always happy when a hymn by Fountainview Academy comes up on the list–these kids can really sing! they can make music without musical instruments, in the service of the Lord. Can’t beat that. So here they are with Break Thou the Bread of Life.
‘The Ninety and Nine’
We are the kind of sheep that keep the shepherd busy. We’re always getting lost. Always wandering blindly into danger. And when we do, the Good Shepherd leaves the ninety and nine and comes looking for the one that’s lost.
Your Favorite Hymns continues with The Ninety and Nine, sung by Burl Ives.
‘Spirit of the Living God’
I came to Spirit of the Living God on the list of Your Favorite Hymns, and found this rather nice version by unnamed “studio musicians.” Well, the Lord knows who they are, if we don’t. Toiling away as an uncredited studio musician–well, it’s a living. And God really does know who you are.
‘Breathe on Me, Breath of God’
Your Favorite Hymns marches on with Breathe on Me, Breath of God–from 1878, sung here by the Mountain Anthems. Background sets by God the Father.
