Phew!
I am finding it a bit tricky to pick something out already! I discover as I look up the music for different hymns, I thought I didn’t know, childhood memories flood back. Memories of the small Mennonite chapel I attended and all the hymns I DID learn! I can look at the titles and read the lyrics and not have a clue till I hear the music. If I am not finding an old forgotten hymn I already knew I am finding very very difficult pieces that are probably not sang often for good reason, THEY ARE DIFFICULT! It took me a long time to find a pretty hymn that I could figure out and didn’t know already for this month and so with pleasure I present this months hymn!
‘Jesus Is All The World To Me’. I found the music soothing and dainty, warm and inviting Though it sounds a little daunting, I am learning that I seem to catch on pretty quick. Have a listen, by clicking on the title above, and tell me what you think!
Written by Will Lamartine Thompson, click on his name for a tiny bio that I found (couldn’t find much more). He also wrote ‘Softly and Tenderly’, which is a favorite of mine and also a very sweet song to sing. There seems to be a gentleness about his writings and I am drawn to that.
Well I am very excited to learn this pretty tune! I am having way to much fun doing this project!
TTFN
That is so neat. I wondered when you would notice that you know many, many hymns from years ago. I would have thought you would know this one too, but then being older I have likely learned a few more than you over the years. Like his stuff too. Love MOM
Hey, Beck. I was wondering if you would consider changing a setting on your blog? No pressure if you don’t want to but thought I would ask just in case you didn’t care one way or the other.
You are one of the few blogs that I can’t read in my reader because you have your feed setting set on preview. I like to read blogs in my reader because it saves me ALOT of time by not forcing me to click through to each and every blog domain, and then I just click through when I actually want to leave a comment.
If you would consider doing this for me, all you need to do is click on “customize” in the top right hand of your blog, then click on “settings” then “site feed” and then select “full”.
Like I said, no pressure if you’d rather not but I would be really grateful! 🙂
