I checked out the link and the tune. I think this must have come from an older revival song book? or Singspiration issue?
How did you become familiar with it?
When I was a youth a number of our fellowship would sing it. I don’t know much else about it. We did sing it with enthusiasm. I remember that. :)
Peace,

Are you condemning the antisemitic comment that your Lutheran colleague wrote, in post 19 " Luther agitated against the demonic cult known as Judaism. ," not a single one of you ... or standing by it ... ?
It seems to me you have not condemned all antisemitism, but rather in this case have blessed it. It seems to me this because the reformed Protestant theology is built on wicked Luther going to heaven and anything evil he did, even to his dying day must be excused and the parable of the sheep and goats must be ignored.
It further seems to me that you have chosen to stand by an antisemitic comment on this very thread . Therefore, it seems to me that you are in agreement with that comment and it reflects your denomination's view of the Jews and Judaism, which is prima facile antisemitism. This poignantly reminds me of the woman in her church dress walking her little daughter by the concentration camp. The little girl stopped near the fence to view the Jews and asked in German, Mommy, who those people ? The mother replied, Those are not a people. They're Jews.
Your post indicates you think a lot.
Unfortunately, your posted thoughts are false.
I am not an antisemite, not reformed (though find no antisemitism in reformed theology) and treasure God’s earthly people. I don’t believe you understand the Gospel, nor all that followed from its recovery by blessed father Luther.
Now, I gently point out you failed to condemn each of your popes, churches and leaders for close to 2,000 years of antisemitism. As such, I cannot take your thoughts with any kind of seriousness.
Your witness is false. It reminds me of those, who out of envy and to be contrary, opposed the Messiah and chose evil rather than good, as it is written: Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

If it is “false” , condemn your antisemite popes, leaders and churches.
Live up to your own stated standard or be relegated to entertainment status.
Frankly, I can’t take your posts seriously, since you don’t live up to them. thats on you, bro.
“How firm a foundation, ye saints of The Lord, He has made for your faith in His excellent Word.”
I note that you have not condemned the antisemitic comments. Do you agree with the poster in post 19 where he wrote " Luther agitated against the demonic cult known as Judaism." I have not seen anyone else condemn that antisemitism.
‘The’ bus came by and you got on. And that’s when all this nonsensical, obsessive, last-word pettiness began? LOL
Silly FRiend. I am not going to be drawn into your dance club.
I've already given a blanket condemnation of the antisemitism of ROME and those who descended from her (covering all on this planet, all other planets, comets, universes, gallaxies, black holes, other dimentions, human or angelic, of nature or not of nature, all peoples and all cultures and all aliens and all religions, robotic, cultic, etc).
As such, don't look for me to break out in a Riverdance every time you want entertainment. It won't happen, silly FReeper.
If that isn't good enough for you, that's on you bro!
All that is a distraction from the one thing that matters - where you will spend eternity.
If you choose to make your life about a departed saint, instead of eternal life through Christ alone, it's on you bro. You've been told and warned and encouraged.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
And do you have eternal life now?
Will you spend eternity in the presence of God?
Have you entrusted yourself to Christ alone for salvation - apart from any contribution of your own?
Dude! Wake up. The orthodox Jewish ideology is a cult...plain and simple.
They do believe that Yuesua of Nazareth is the Anointed...the Son of God...the Christ.
Thereby, they are certainly damned in their ignorance unless and until they believe that INRI is, as confessed by Peter, the One Son of God.
So, af_vet_1981, is that your confession of Faith?
That's all He has to work with as far as humans go.
"Tell Me The Story of Jesus, write on my heart every word;
.tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard."

This is the old radio Bible preacher our stiff-necked friends need to hear, at least once!
When I was born from above, I had such a hunger for The Word that I listened to Trhough the Bible Radio every chance I gotr. I had radio stations around my two-state territory which I found that carried the show. I can hear McGee’s voice in my head even today, at seventy! Thanks be to God for such servants of the Lord Jesus. ... Dearly beloved ...
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Funny how you say the Reformed tradition is false yet maintain the Jewish tradition is legitimate. You mitigate against thew tradition that is “against” Rome yet tolerate the tradition that denies Christ.
You be funny, bruh!
Which of those traditions deny that Jesus of Nazareth -proclaimed by Rome to be INRI- deny the Christ?
Furthermore, why haven’t YOU left the RC for the Jewish tradition?
