Through The Hymnbook

Guest (Male): The happy chimes are ringing, and I welcome you to the organ loft. This is going to be a program which is one of your very special favorites because in this edition of Through the Hymnbook, Reverend Bert Jones will be doing some songs which you will be able to record.

Of course, you can record anytime, but this was especially designed for recording because Bert will do three different segments. Each segment will have three or four gospel songs and hymns, and there will be no talking between, perfect for recording.

Reverend Bert Jones: I consider it a compliment that so many of you do want to record the songs as I play them week after week. My only reservation is I hope you use good tape and I hope you have a good recorder because I hate hearing recordings that don't do justice to the original.

The first segment of music is entitled Songs of Worship. This will include O Worship the King, All Glory, Laud and Honor. Actually, it's a very old hymn going way back to Theodulph of Orleans in the year 821. It's probably one of the oldest hymns in any hymnbook. All Glory, Laud and Honor was originally a Palm Sunday hymn, but it can be a hymn of worship anytime of the year.

And then a great old hymn called All Creatures of Our God and King. It has an echo effect in it, and you'll hear the echo. And then, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty. Well, if you're ready, I'm ready. Turn on your tape recorder for a segment of hymns of worship.

And there you have the first segment of songs for tape recording. I hope you got a good recording, and I hope you enjoyed those beautiful songs of worship. Wasn't that a magnificent sound of a great carillon playing for us there in that last hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy?

But we hurry on. The program is called Through the Hymnbook for those of you who just came by. Through the Hymnbook is heard every week at this same time on this fine station. I'm actually playing songs for you, playing hymns, hymns that are favorites and have been a blessing across the years.

This next segment of songs is Songs of Testimony: He Hideth My Soul, He Lifted Me, He Ransomed Me, and He Brought Me Out of the Miry Clay. These are songs of personal testimony, and I hope they are songs that you know, and I hope the testimonies of these songs are very real to you. Ready to turn on that tape recorder? We begin with He Hideth My Soul.

Guest (Male): Just pausing to let you know that you are enjoying Through the Hymnbook, that special time of music when we never know for sure what's going to be happening, and this time some lovely medleys that are of such inspiration.

Songs of Trust: Only Trust Him, 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, just to take him at his word. And then Trust and Obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus except as you trust and obey. Ready to turn on that tape recorder? Fine.

Until next time, bye, and you keep singing and keep trusting.
