I didn’t realize most were so old, yet we sing them as their relevance is still here for God doesn’t change. A fantastic Medley of hymns!

[@kimcarroll7669]

Good Lutheran songs until year 1988. Nothing better than a congregation singing these in 4 part harmony. gives me chill bumps. Thanks so much for this journey.

[@chrisruppofficial4005]

Thank you so much for your love towards me 💓💓

[@kristenflood5263]

This is great! And my 1 year old daughter falls asleep it it nightly now. Gotta love getting all those hymns in her heart at once ☺️

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

aww, thats awesome! Helps get my view count up . ;)

[@bingmartinez3646]

Great voice, specially when you sing gospel and hymns

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks!

[@dragonfly1745]

Absolutely wonderful Chris! Most of those songs were ones I grew up with too and have a fondness for many of them. You are so talented and have such a gift for putting together amazing renditions of songs that might have gotten boring over the years. Thank you for a revival and making this fun and interesting! God bless you!

[@kskkfarms2578]

Wow this man can sing

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks much, appreciate that!

[@Cmbujno]

It’s crazy how God gives you the encouragement you need when you need it most. I’ve been a bit of a low point lately and this not only lifted my mood because of its musical excellence, but also reminded of how great our God is. Thank you sir!

[@honorclarkescatacomb67]

I agree with you. I'm also at a lowpoint due to a degenerative illness, and this really raised my spirits as well; The Lord changeth not.

[@bayloryork9502]

All creature of our god and king was so good. Is it just me?

[@BlueStar4040]

This has Peter Hollens vibes I love it

[@lillylee122619]

This brought so many beautiful memories of my childhood, we sang so many of these when i was growing up ❤ when you got to "Awesome God" i was balling, that song was my childhood

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ladyfoot2880]

Very nostalgic; from the hymns that grew me in the Anglican Church to those that strengthened in the Pentecostal, to ecumenical and the contemporary choruses. Beautifully done Chris. I love the harmonies very much and the touch of beatboxing. Now carry on:)

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

[@gideonlebabu]

As a baritone myself I'm impressed

[@amywiens9845]

You have such a beautiful voice! thank you for sharing your gift!

[@janetranslates]

I had no idea "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" was that old! This was just what I needed to hear tonight. Thank you. I can't tell you how much I miss singing in choirs--and the singing in chapel at Lincoln Christian College was as good as any choir's. You're really taking me back, Chris--and then bringing me all the way up to last Sunday. "Awesome God" made me cry.

[@chrisruppofficial4005]

Thank you so much for your love towards me 💓

[@Perktube1]

I remember owning Glad's cd where they sang A Mighty Fortress. My fav for years.

[@MrsRdTripp14]

100% got chills when you did the doxology. Really enjoyed this mix of old and new hymns!

[@CareenasAdventures]

Me too, on both points!

[@virginiatort3362]

Happy Birthday !!! Chris Rupp

[@sabinehautzel6820]

A journey through the choirs I sang, listening smiling, in tears with goosebumps- thank you so much! God bless you, stay safe, strong and healthy ❤️🙏🏼

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Love that! Thanks!

[@traceymunro1]

This is so wonderful. You have breathed new life into beautiful old songs.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks much, appreciate that!

[@c.myesska1798]

Chris I never knew "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" was from 1758! It is one of my favorite hymns. I knew them all except for 1707 and the two after Rich Mullins" My God is an Awesome God". Yes He is! Thank you and God Bless.

[@hhhhoooojdjd]

I can't even sing. Every time I sign these songs i strat crying. God is good.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@amelial1609]

The more I listen to this song, the more I love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this. It's much needed, Chris! May the Lord bless you abundantly for all that you do for Him. Continue to honour and praise Him in all you do!

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks Amelia!

[@jenniferreese6736]

Beyond beautiful Chris ! I love these older hymns!! This is a perfect video ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and amazing voice with all us ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thank ya kindly!

[@JenniferLinch1213]

Wow! Brought back so many great memories. I miss singing the old hymns sometimes. This video is great.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChrismDove]

I recently learned about Home Free, and then just found your KZbin channel. This was so amazing. My favorite genre of music is Christian. God has gifted you with an awesome voice. I love music, and singing, even though mostly is at home and praising the Lord. I enjoy hymns too. Thanks for making me smile today. God bless you and your family.

[@MichaelSmith-fk8sl]

Chris, what a great job!!! I have always enjoyed your music. I am a former Revivaltime Choir member and listening to you brings back a lot of memories and wish I was still singing. God Bless you Brother and keep it coming!!!!!!

[@lorlymcclure928]

I have just discovered this! As I am over 80, I grew up with some o f these, and my grand mother would sing me some of the others! A Brilliant way to keep ways of worship alive, and to remind us all of our heritage.

[@kuttfam0191]

Love, love, live this!! With all of the contemporary praise and worship songs I have missed the old hymns!

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

amen!

[@umarae27]

Those were all of them so beautiful. My fave is now, with psalm 150 at the heart.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@janetlawson4482]

Lovely nostalgia for me, hearing you sing the earlier hymns reminds me of standing next to my grandfather in church, singing next to him and hearing his lovely tenor voice, thank you ❤

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@Reena2460]

Hallelujah

[@johannebrsted6495]

Always fun to hear hymns you know well sung in a different language! Ithink I counted four or five we use often in Denmark.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

nice!

[@Caitydubbelyew]

It’s amazing how universal hymns are, that someone from the US can sing them, and people as far afield as Denmark and South Africa recognize them, though that’s the point of many of the songs. Hymns and pieces of church music have often been set to popular tunes for the express reason that it’s music that lots of people know. I’m actually less familiar with the modern pieces (I didn’t recognize any of the ones written in the last 20 years), but I’m not surprised by that since most of the church music I sing now is for my local cathedral. I did have to pause a couple of times to try and figure out which piece was what, because I know them in a bunch of different languages.

[@johannebrsted6495]

@@Caitydubbelyew I had trouble with the newer ones, too. As for the universal quality of hymns, that is quite natural: people emigrating from Europe brought their culture with them, and part of that culture was religion.

[@ilonaknuutinen]

Same, maybe 5-6 familiar tunes here. Some managed to suprise me although I know most are originally from elsewhere, especially Germany. Oh and Finland, lutheran church :D

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

And a few from HK.

[@jennyharris6650]

I am so in awe of you Chris,I so enjoyed your Evolution of Hymns, I think this is my favourite at the moment.

[@ruwangimunasinghe8123]

This is so beautiful... Though I am not a Christian, I went to a Catholic school, and I just love the hymns that were sung.

[@jacquehouston2861]

My parents love Chris Rupps gospel music! Me too!

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

awesome, thank you!

[@jacquehouston2861]

@@ChrisRuppOfficial you're welcome! Hugs and peace! 🙂

[@Katie-mb8zj]

Out of all those songs, there were only three that I don’t think I’ve ever heard in church (very first, very last, and what a friend). So many of the older hymns have been forever favorites. I will admit to doing the actions for Awesome God.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

haha, yahhs!

[@dindixie]

@Katie I also was unfamiliar with the last one, but you'd never heard "What a Friend"??? 😲

[@crystalauenson6739]

BEAUTIFUL!! I grew up on most of these and they bring back such wonderful memories of my beloved Dad who passed when I was 16. I could listen all day. Sending Love and Prayers for a wonderful 2021 to you, your family and all who read this. May God Bless You All 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thank you much!!

[@Well-in-the-garden]

❤❤That was fun to sing along too. The last few caught me by surprise. I didn't realise how new they were. ❤❤

[@conniestone2806]

Awesome Chris!! Thanks for these beautiful songs and your incredible arranging and voice. Very special. Always say that no one can harmonize better than with themselves. Perfect harmonies and your range is shown here! And you still have that great sense of creativity and humor we grew to know and love with HF. Keep that up forever! Glad to see you still making your own music. Miss you with Home Free, but happy you are able to pursue your own music and using your God-given talent! Keep them coming. We'll still be here for you.

[@elisecalderwood9659]

Chris, Loved this! Enjoyed you with Home Free, but like this even better! Wishing you great success in your new endeavours.

Thank you!

[@sherikuykendall2621]

Oh my gosh!!! This is amazing. I have sung in church for a long time and unfortunately (as many have) abandoned the old hymns. It was so wonderful to hear these. I got so excited singing along with these. Thank you so much for doing this. I really love it!!!! Miss your singing in Home Free.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks sheri, I love when people appreciate this video. :)

[@lynlockrey7372]

Gosh, I wish I'd have seen and listened to this great video before now. Brilliant presentation Chris, thanks for awakening our hearts to God's inspired messages in song over the centuries. And a big shoutout for the captions so the deaf and hard of hearing have access to the lyrics most of us hear. God bless. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.

[@dindixie]

What a wonderful way to start off my day! I love the fresh arrangement, the tight harmonies, the touch of beatboxing, the editing job, your beautiful voice... (as well as the effort of different $5 Walmart shirts, I think you're the first self-harmony arrangement I've seen do that). The old hymns are some of my very favorites, and I just love this! Thank you, I really do appreciate this.

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

A few of my favorites were there. Amazing Grace always makes me cry for some reason, but all time favorite is How Great Thou Art. My sister took organ lessons for years and her teacher finally told her she she couldn’t teach her anything more. My sister always wanted to play a church organ and got the chance when we were on vacation in NC. Our relatives talk to their pastor and they let her play How Great Thou Art during collection! My Uncle was an Usher and my Aunt was in the choir!
