Singing Unto the Lord!

Hello and welcome to my new-fangled blog thing!

As some of you know, I have been recording some hymns--mostly from the new “Christ In Song” hymn book.

It's harder than I thought!

Most hymns are scored for four part harmony, which I think is very suitable for Christian singers. It allows all the saints to join together in the best way to worship the Lord in singing (as Paul said in 1 Cor. 14.15)," with the spirit and with the understanding!"

I think we miss-out by not singing the harmony parts. They are within the range of normal voices--if we only knew how the individual part sounded! If you want to hear a particular part, let me know, and I will cut a "Learning Track" for you!

Singing and making melody (or even a joyful noise) to the Lord is always good, even if alone. But when we come together, and sing together in harmony, everyone is uplifted. As when the priests and musicians in 2 Chronicles 5.12 and following, sang and played their instruments, the Holy Spirit came in and Glory filled the house!

I hope you come to enjoy singing as much as I do! And be encouraged to sing unto the Lord yourself!
