Your favorite Hymns continues with When the Saints Go Marching In, by Evensong. It seems strange not to have Louis Armstrong singing this, but I think you’ll like this simple rendition, too.
If you have a favorite hymn you’d like to add to the list, just leave a reply/comment anywhere on this uncrowded blog.
Continuing down the list of Your Favorite Hymns–which needs replenishing, by the way–we have Unclouded Day, sung here by the Conspirare Choir. This is spectacular singing, and I’m sure God loves to hear it.
Here’s one from the list of Your Favorite Hymns–This World Is Not My Home, sung by Jim Reeves.
We’re more than halfway down the list, so now would be a good time to starting loading up the cart again.
I just noticed that we’re now 50 items down the list of Your Favorite Hymns–which I think means it’s time to load up the wagon again. They’re not stopping us from posting hymns yet, and that’s how I like to start each blogging day.
The idea is to post hymns that readers want to hear. This is open to everyone here, even if you’re just a casual passer-by–and you can name as many hymns as you please (because nobody has just one favorite hymn!), and I’ll put them all on the list. And I’ll use ’em all, too.
One of the things we ought to do, as Christians living in an evil and distressing age, is sing louder! It really bugs the living daylights out of the devil, and it’s a good thing for us all to hear.
We’re getting censored here and censored there–but this shop is still open, the bad guys must’ve overlooked it. Walk right in and request a hymn! Or five hymns, if you want. Especially if you haven’t done it before. Yo, everybody, we’re making a statement here! Join the happy throng! Okay, okay, it’s a few thousand bodies short of being an official throng, but we’re working on it.
Keep goin’, Saint Paul–we’re right behind you.
I love what one of the YouTube commenters said about this hymn: “I want to be so full of Jesus, that when a mosquito bites me, he flies away humming ‘There Is a Power in the Blood’.”
This rendition by Alan Jackson is a bit more lively than some others. I hope you like it.
Who doesn’t love Revive Us Again? I’m especially fond of this rendition of it by Nathan and Lyle.
Your Favorite Hymns continues–and whoever you are out there, don’t be afraid to add to the list.
Your Favorite Hymns continues with Precious Memories, sung by Alan Jackson. God created the family, and this hymn celebrates that. The time to appreciate it is while most of your family’s still here.
Who doesn’t love this hymn? In the Sweet By and By, sung here by the Mennonite Singers, is a 19th century classic. It sometimes seems strange that a century that generated such evils as communism and Darwinism (just to name two) was also remarkable for the sweetness of its hymns.
When I saw this hymn on the list of your favorities, I remembered there’s a video of our own dear friends and colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy Swanson, performing it on their guitars–I’ll Fly Away, a good old-fashioned country hymn. We’re doubly thankful that the typhoon missed them last weekend.
We usually hear this hymn around Thanksgiving time–but when’s a bad time to be thankful to the Lord? Come, Ye Thankful People, Come, sung by congregation and choir at St. George’s Church, Windsor.
