#hymnal

Finally found a hymnal old enough to have Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a song featured rather prominently in Bioshock Infinite. No modern hymnal I’ve got my hands on (mostly Baptist churches and two Methodist churches) has had the song.

The copyright date for the hymnal is 1939.

Saw @mothercain at the Ryman last night with @cherrychemtrails and was taken to church. Then went to the local antique mall today and made some finds.

I don’t need coffee Sunday mornings. Everyone in church needs me to have coffee Sunday mornings.

faced blizzard-like conditions tonight to go record hymns on the organ at the country church for their Christmas Eve & Christmas day services. I'm so glad I got it done & don't have to worry about it tomorrow

See hymns on YouTube

See hymns on YouTube

I’ve started on Christian hymns on YouTube, in which I publish (amid copyright-free backgrounds) the tunes of hymns that I’ve virtually performed on Flat.io, along with the text for the hymns. These hymns are mostly taken from the Himnario Adventista of 1962, hence why the tune for “Jesus Shall Reign” is MIGDOL instead of the usual DUKE STREET, because that’s the tune in the Himnario Adventista…

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE

I love this so much I don't even have the words to express my gratitude to the person who sent this to me. I can't really read any of it but that's okay, it's in my hands and I can stare at it and love it and maybe someday, I'll be able to read some of it.

There's something uniquely beautiful about singing a hymn from 1675. The church universal has been singing this hymn for almost 350 years. What a blessing.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;

thy justice like mountains high soaring above

thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all life thou givest, to both great and small;

in all life thou livest, the true life of all;

we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

and wither and perish but naught changeth thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;

all praise we would render, O help us to see

'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.

Walter C. Smith based this text on 1 Timothy 1: 17: "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever." The six-stanza text was published in Smith's Hymns of Christ and the Christian Life (1867) and, after having been revised by Smith, in W. Garrett Horder's Congregational Hymns (1884). Further revisions were made by the Psalter Hymnal Revision Committee.

save us, for still the tempest raves,

save, lest we sink beneath the waves

Smutno mi, Boże – Dla mnie na zachodzie

Rozlałeś tęczę blasków promienistą,

Przede mną gasisz w lazurowej wodzie

Gwiazdę ognistą…

Choć mi tak niebo ty złocisz i morze,

Smutno mi, Boże!

Dałeś piękną duszę przy mojej

Czerni kolory w tęczę zmieniła

Serce kojącym miodem rany oblała

Zrzędnica losu wszystko zabrała

Płaczę i tęsknię za nią o każdej porze

Smutno mi Boże....

Każdej chwili pamiętam smak

Pięknej czerwieni rozwinięty kwiat

Spojrzenia jej oczu będzie mi brak

Puste ulice jak w sercu to jest mój kat

Niewdzieczny los przywróci to może

Smutno mi Boże.

Nie znał takich serc nie znał tego ciepła

Nigdy nie chciał znaleźć się po tej stronie piekła

Już koniec melodii na tych instrumentach

Od straty pięknego serce me czuje strach

Jak mała kropla a wokół samotności morze

Smutno mi Boże

Daj chodź chwile wejrzenia w te oczy

Wnet w zyciu już go nic nie zaskoczy

Blask i światło powróci do życia

Gdy puzzelek zdąży do puzzelka odkrycia

Chciałbym się znaleźć w tym pięknym kolorze

Smutno mi Boże

Noc jest długa lecz wkoncu przemija

Jadem swym truje mą duszę żmija

Gdy była ona ciężar problemu mój pokonała

Dobrze jest czuć że tak bardzo kochała

Bez jej bliskości nic mu nie pomoże

Smutno mi Boże.

Straciłem.

,, Mój hymn do tęsknoty "

Kocham Cię i tęsknię.
