This is a Elisha A. Hoffman hymn and is accompanied with an autumn view, scenic sky, mountains and an animated perched juvenile red shoulder hawk. Singing is by the Church of Christ Choir!

Nice job, Revski. I'll called my wife in to watch. She loves that hymn.

Oh, and good job on the bird ID. It IS a juvenile red-shouldered hawk. Excellent!

It stops putting hawks in its videos or it gets the hose.

Everlasting Arms?

The old Springfield bolt-action .30-06 rifles are pretty darned rugged, but I don't know about everlasting.

It does this whenever it's told.

Amen and Leaning on JESUS. :) Thanks.

Soon but one more is going to be posted with grandson’s voice, Short Video :)

[MikeWUSAF]

I think I can tolerate one more. ;)

I was going to suggest Beulah Land but it looks like you already did that one and I like it!

Have a great weekend sir!

Thank you, Revski! I'm so glad that I saw your thread.

I love that old hymn.

Here is another favorite being sung by the Cherry Street Church of Christ congregation:

The Azure Blue (Cherry Street Singing)

FYI, the churches of Christ as found in the South do not have choirs or instrumental music. They practice congregational singing only, as they believe practicing instrumental music exceeds New Testament limits of worship. Some of the “Churches of Christ” in the North that do have choirs or instrumental music are more commonly known as the “Christian Church”. There are other distinctions between the two groups as well.

This recording of the hymn does actually sound like regular congregational singing to me.

What you say is true of worship services in all churches of Christ that are scripturally sound. Liberal elements have come into some of the churches - even in the South - and made changes including instrumental music.

Some of the universities have vocal groups and choirs, etc.. For example,Harding University Chorus travels and records.

Here are a few soundbites from some of the Harding University Concert Choir's recordings:

Precious Memories - Harding University Concert Choir

Amazing Grace

Yes, I'll Live in Glory

Peace In The Valley

Because He Lives

Thanks so much!
