This hymn has such a winding, beautiful melody that I tried to make a video with matching winding country roads. Late winter is such a beautiful time to watch the earth slowly come back to life and renew our faith by the words of this solemn yet trusting hymn.

He fills your needs to fullest measure with what discerning love has sent; doubt not our inmost wants are known to him who chose us for his own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving, offer your service faithfully, and trust his word; though undeserving, you'll find his promise true to be. God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in him indeed.

Hearts unfold like flow'rs before thee, praising thee, their sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the gloom of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day. 2 All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heav'n reflect thy rays, stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flow'ry meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird, and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in thee. 3 Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, well-spring of the joy of living, ocean-depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our brother, all who live in love are thine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine!

This is a strong hymn about the calling and lineage of Jesus Christ, written by James Montgomery, a hymn writer who lived from 1771 to 1854. It's often sung around Easter or the time after Epiphany, in the Lutheran liturgical calendar.

Hail, in the time appointed, your reign on earth begun! You come to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression and rule in equity. 2 You come with rescue speedy to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them sons for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in your sight. 3 You shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in your path to birth. Before you on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before you, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore you, your praise all people sing. To you shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; your kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. __________________ If you enjoyed this song, consider saving to your favourite Sunday or Inspirational playlist on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people.

Verse 3: Christ is the world's dear Paschal Lamb He is the great "I Was, I Am" Through Calvary's pain and dismal gloom He conquered over death and tomb He rose, His own to justify And draws all men up to the sky If you have found the Christ, His way, Then you can keep this Easter Day.

When I was a little girl going to church on Easter Sunday with my family, this song was always the one that felt like EASTER to me, especially when we were lucky enough to sing it with pipe organ accompaniment! Now it feels so surreal that somehow I am the musician playing the pipe organ- it's amazing how fast life goes! I hope this rendition of the classic Easter Hymn uplifts you this Easter season, and hope you enjoy the glorious sunrise that I was blessed to be able to capture just a few weeks ago! God's creation is so glorious! Currently taking your hymn requests! Email me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com or comment on any video.

Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; his glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear the sight, but downward bends their wondering eye at mysteries so bright. Crown Him Eternal King His mysteries make known Here raise all voices now to sing His Love and power alone All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

Sheet Music here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/were-you-there-22696361.html Here is a collection of all the best Hymns for Good Friday that I've had the honour of recording so far. I hope that these songs can serve you and your church during Holy Week and all year round, and inspire all of our faith and devotion to God. This list includes so many of the dear old hymns that I remember from going to church on Good Friday when I was little, always hoping they'd play the pipe organ, always feeling very sombre and overwhelmed by so much emotion and so much bigger than myself. I hope they touch you and you can sing along with believers all around the world as we sing "Here Lord, I give myself away, 'tis all that I can do!". God bless you this Easter!

And did my Savior bleed, and did my sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide and shut its glories in when God, the mighty maker, died for his own creatures’ sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears, dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But tears of grief cannot repay the debt of love I owe; here, Lord, I give myself away: 'tis all that I can do.
