Flee As a Bird (4 verses) - A Cappella Hymn

[@nameirrelevant0]

"Haste, for the twilight is falling, Flee, for the night is appalling." Our hymnals need more lyrics like this. The church has forgotten that our struggle is a matter of eternal survival.

Wow! So beautiful and soothing in this evil time. God is on the throne. Praise God for music and musicians to share it with such excellence. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed Ms. Vicky!

@@acappellahymns I was just over at hymnary.org learning more about Mrs. Dana and seeing what she looked like. She wrote quite a number of hymns. This is so beautiful, and you do such a wonderful job of singing it in 4-part harmony. She also became Mrs. Shindler after her first husband died.

Very nice. It’s always a wonderful surprise when I’m notified that you’ve posted another recording. 😀

Thank you for doing this one. We now have a definitive version to show people how this one goes! Your work on these is very much appreciated. Maybe when I am visiting a congregation and ask if they know it, I will not get blank stares. Thanks.

Great to hear from you, brother. I sure hope these recordings bring an awakening and revival to our traditional worship!

This channel is such a blessing to me and my family! I see that you have options to buy on amazon, Google and iTunes. I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing all that, and I'm sure it's not hard. I personally would like a CD if you have some for sale?

[@acappellahymns]

Glad y'all are enjoying the channel so much! I don't have any professional CDs available but I have burned them at home for people before for $5 each (20 songs per CD) plus whatever media mail shipping costs which is usually just a few bucks. Feel free to email me if that's something you'd like to do some time. My email address can be found on the 'About' tab of the main channel page.

Halloween episode of A Cappella Hymns. I'm joking, it's just because it's in E minor. Heard this one for the first time at Lads to Leaders a few years ago, not too many people knew it in the crowd (including me) so this was nice to hear what it actually sounded like.

[@acappellahymns]

Haha!!! I should just upload minor key hymns for the next week, huh?! ( :

[@NotNatthan]

@@acappellahymns that’d actually be interesting I feel like most hymns are in major key and it’d be good to hear some minor key songs

[@acappellahymns]

Yeah, I'll eventually get some more on here. There's just not that many, that make it in to hymnals anyway. I think I've got 6 minor ones on here so far. And with their own playlist too! ( :

Please sing 'he will lead his children home'

[@0459RanRan]

Thank you. I didn’t know it had 4 verses. My copy has only two. Another minor tune from the south is Sing to the Lord (Cantad al Senhor) I’d like to hear it sung properly.

[@acappellahymns]

Yeah, I didn't either. My hymnals only have 2 verses as well so I looked through some old scans of hymnals on hymnary.org and found the other verses. I'm glad I did too because it seems to complete the song better than just the two.

[@zenaidariehl580]

What hymn book you are using? If it is for sale, I will buy it so that I can follow while you are singing. This is a very good song.

[@acappellahymns]

I use a handful of different hymnals. The main one is called "Praise for the Lord" and can be found on Taylor Publication's website, Amazon, eBay, and others. The next most common hymnal I use is called "Songs for Worship and Praise". You can also use Hymnary.org for many of these same arrangements.

How do you guys do your planning and choosing songs? I’d love to know the behind the scenes stuff

[@acappellahymns]

It's probably much more boring than one could imagine. Haha... I keep a list of requests that folks send in. And more or less, I use those. I don't record those in order all the time though. I wouldn't want to have too many slow ones in a row or too many contemporary ones, etc. And sometimes I'll throw one in that's been on my mind or that a friend or family member suggests. Hope that helps! ( :

Hello Elliot.Its me again.wherecan I get this music score

[@acappellahymns]

From my response to Zenaida Riehl with a similar question: "I use a handful of different hymnals. The main one is called "Praise for the Lord" and can be found on Taylor Publication's website, Amazon, eBay, and others. The next most common hymnal I use is called "Songs for Worship and Praise". You can also use Hymnary.org for many of these same arrangements." Here's a direct link to Hymnary for "Flee As a Bird" - hymnary.org/text/flee_as_a_bird_to_your_mountain Scroll down and you'll see lots of scans from hymnals. Some of them are the same or very similar to what's in my books.

With most hymns, you can do a Google search for - Hymn name a cappella - and it will be one of the first results. And it didn't fail me this time either. ( : Hope you enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqbKo4N9arZleqc

They heard it already, it wont come out of their head, it will keep replaying in their head when they wake up, until they finally decide to come to their Lord...that's how God works.😁
