Rejoice in the Lord (a cappella) - The Hamilton Family

NEW a capella version of Ron Hamilton's most beloved songs, Rejoice in the Lord.
From the album, Stay the Course available at www.majestymus...

[@sharongiles7246]

I was a student at Bob Jones University when what would seem like a tragedy took place in Ron Hamilton's life. But within weeks, Southside Baptist Church, and the other churches in the Greenville area and the BJU Family had heard the amazing story of the birth of Patch the Pirate! I have sung this song so many times over the years. And even now, as I recover from a stroke, I can say, "For when I am tried and purified, I shall come forth as gold!" To the Glory of God in Heaven. God bless the Hamilton Family for this beautiful recording.

I'm a grad too! 2017. Sang this so many times and it's always true!

[@kimfitzsimons1931]

Ron Patch Hamilton was born while you were a student at BJU? What was the tragedy? I went to BJU one year 1983-1984 while my brother Keith was attending. I have always loved the Hamilton's and their music. SO ENCOURAGING AND NEVER GETS OLD!!!

[@evannunsince9357]

​@@kimfitzsimons1931maybe when Peewee pirate killed himself?

[@robbyers7614]

May the Lord bless Ron Hamilton. He currently has dementia and is slowly getting more forgetful. But when he goes to visit the savior he will say well done my good and faithful servant. And his memory will be back just like that!! ✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️

[@jackchandler7213]

No matter how many times I hear this song, it hits me just as hard as the first time. I just saw that Ron passed, now he can rejoice in the presence of our Lord. Sadly, it means leaving those of us who appreciate and love his music and the man himself without him...but it's only for a time. I pray for the Hamilton family during this time.

[@user-if1gw8kl2z]

Just remember that he is in a better place now. 😊

[@DavidBaral]

I speak for everyone when I say there needs to be 500 more songs like this one!

[@jonrandall5490]

I don't think you can find 500 songs ever written that are better than this one. I'm not sure you even can find 10 songs thru history better than this one.

[@heartlearning2120]

I agree Just saw this video. What a legacy he is passing on to his children. The song came out of physical pain and suffering. The physical suffering is how he became known as Patch the Pirate.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@jonrandall5490 Fanny Crosby alone wrote between 8000 to 9000 hymns, hundreds of the still standard and favorite old hymns in English, also beloved around the world: She alone did those 500!

[@itspurefaith]

One of the most powerful and underrated songs that exists ❤

[@OpenRoading]

When Jesus entered heaven from the cross, a thief came with him. Today, He welcomed a Pirate. Here because we just heard the news of Ron's passing. Patch the Pirate was a staple in my (Joseph's) growing up years. May God be a comfort to the Hamilton family.

[@reecealvarez944]

This song could not be more applicable in Mr Hamilton’s life than right now. So moving, so powerful

[@belindamorales8176]

I like the version of the Hamiltons! Great song!

[@bobjoancampbell1119]

God is using this song in my life as I suffer from severe anxiety and other health issues.

[@phoebeaguiii9966]

God never moves without purpose or plan When trying His servant and molding a man. Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long; In darkness He giveth a song. I could not see through the shadows ahead; So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead. I bowed to the will of the Master that day; Then peace came and tears fled away. Now I can see testing comes from above; God strengthens His children and purges in love. My Father knows best, and I trust in His care; Through purging more fruit I will bear. O Rejoice in the LORD He makes no mistake, He knoweth the end of each path that I take, For when I am tried And purified, I shall come forth as gold.

[@_Abaddon80_]

"God never moves without a purpose or plan" That is so true then, and it'll always be true always.

[@rollinghillsslo]

Even when God is being still, He has a purpose or plan. Love you, Father God.

Goose bumps! One of the best songs ever! God makes no mistakes!

[@johnbattles1002]

With 54 thumbs down, I expected to see a few comments from trolls. It's great to see all positive, sincere comments! This song is the very first one I ever remember hearing by Ron Hamilton (in the 1970's I think)! From that point, the Majesty Music / Patch the Pirate road has been a wonderful one to travel. My wife and I had 2 girls and 2 boys, all grown now. They grew up on a heavy "diet" of this music, listening to it every night at bedtime and almost every day, memorizing many of the songs, and singing them in church and in our home school. Thanks, Majesty Music & "Patch," for being part of our special memories as a family!

[@noahhall5623]

I grew up on it to listening to them on cassette then on cd

[@christchild211]

Oh My. I'm crying right now. I grew up with Patch the Pirate. I was so close to Jesus during these days of my life. So many memories. The times of my life where I lived like a heathen, I could feel in My Spirit, "I miss you Jesus." That all changed in 1998. I'm subscring. On my face to Him on this One. Love you brothers and sisters for your faithfulness.❤. Blessed is the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth our God and King.

[@tamrab2708]

Is it just me or does he sound EXACTLY like Ron? I didn't realize it was a different singer (his son) until I looked up at the vid. and awesome a capella!

[@shandyplacencia7982]

I thought the same thing!

[@organlover1988]

Same here. I was just listening to it and thought it was Ron singing, but when I looked at the video, I realized it was his son.

[@cybilinside]

He does!

[@silentwordministriesintern2282]

I thought the same exact thing even before seeing your comments!

[@stephencrider1332]

Absolutely

[@jongrindell590]

I've never had the experience of hearing a father's voice, and then hearing their son's voice. I definitely hear certain elements of Ron's voice in his son...fantastic quality!

[@marsmallow_17]

Amen. Such a blessed message to still rejoice even in our darkest path and even if we are under the fiery trial of faith.

[@MauriceDan]

Thank you Ron Hamilton for your life and music. Always will be one of my go to songs during hard times. God bless the whole family.

[@MrAndyBearJr]

Carrying this song in my heart, with the promise it entails, has helped me through some very sorrowful times in my life. To me, it is the musical embodiment of Romans 8:28. 🙂✝️

[@NuManXplore]

Very special song, that God has used in my life so many times! I imagine that today “Captain Patch” has seen the Saviour already with his new eyes!!

[@sandywatkins8484]

I was listening to this and thought Ron was singing. When I looked at it, I was shocked it wasn't him. His son sounds sooo much like his dad!

[@ElizabethBMarsh]

Well done, ye good and faithful servants of God. Thanks for sharing God's love so well.

[@danthompson2107]

The artistry of this video is just beautiful and Christ-honoring. Thank you all for coming to Beacon Baptist last week! My wife and I have sung this song to our 2-year-old at night probably 200-300 times now... One of our favorite songs to sing to him. He will grow up having it memorized. =) God bless you guys, your family, and your ministry in music...

[@cliffott9946]

It's this very song that draws me to the Throne. God bless the Hamilton family.

[@couponmom1233]

I grew up listening to Patch the Pirate and now my kids are listening I absolutely love this Version please make more songs like this #RonHamilton @patchthepirate

[@noahhall7172]

[@theresaryberg5030]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I have been raised with Ron Hamilton in my life and this just brings so many memories from church to camp to life! Thank you for posting!!

[@naomicummings1040]

What a beautiful song and their voices blend so well together. Love it!

[@sarahhartel613]

So beautiful! Jason sounds exactly like his dad...my husband thought it was Patch when I was playing this, and couldn't believe it when I told him it wasn't.

[@jbyerfamily]

Beautiful! I love God-honoring music!

[@cwscott2010]

This will always be one of my favorite songs ever written, and this version of it gave me goosebumps. Absolutely fantastic

[@davemincy]

Praise the Lord for the ministry and testimony of Ron Hamilton!

[@stephencrider1332]

I can hear your dad’s voice through you. God bless all of you.

[@paultoy9611]

This is the Patch voice I played for my beloved sons as they grew up! Blessings from God's praises.

[@lisalord6706]

So blessed to listen to this song sung Accapella by the Hamiltons. I've listened to it over and over and over again. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing such talent and gifts with us all in which the good LORD above placed within you. Heavenly and angelic in sound. This is my Pastor and family's favorite song in which they clung too when their little baby girl struggled for 3 months with a heart condition that took her home to be with Jesus 20 + years ago. This song ministers to so many. Thank you once again.

[@cathyparkinson4148]

This was completely beautiful! We just loved it!- Ebby (8) and Coral (6)

[@Absofsteel-gc9fr]

He sounds so much like his dad. Love this song

[@RiaLou2]

Beautiful rendition of a classic. Thank you for the encouragement and blessing this song brings.

[@tychicusmabanglo4198]

Thank you Lord for these Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs 😊 God bless the Hamilton Family! Greetings from the Philippines!

[@lindasmith3426]

My kids grew up listening to Patch the Pirate on 33 1/3 records and later I put the album onto a cassette so we could take it on our family travels and played it constantly. I never knew his testimony or even how he looked but my heart was blessed at the beautiful message in song and our family of 6 daughters and 4 sons was impacted and I am so thankful that I looked on the internet and found all these videos which we can watch. What a testimony of his family and beautiful singing of this song that he wrote.

Such an Amazing song to give praise to the Lord! I grew up around BJU all my life and always loved hearing concerts in that old chapel. What a great place to film. Brings back so many memories.

I have always loved this song. In so many aspects of my life, I Rejoice in the Lord. He has been so good to me.

[@tatuziduhudachi9958]

Hi...I just read through Pastor Paul Chappel's blog that Mr. Ron Hamilton has just been promoted to glory. I feel sad for his demise, but rejoice to know he is now with the Lord. The first song that teaches me to be humble is "A Servant's Heart." And this song is the second one. Praying for Mrs. Hamilton and the family (Php. 4:4)

[@sirryan5075]

Jason, you've got a golden voice!

[@ijp_josh2]

I remember when I was young Brother Hamilton came to my church i was so excited to hear how he became a living testimony he invited all the children come to him I received his autograph I kept it I never got rid of it next to me and said patch the pirate loves me I used to listen to him growing up whenever I would travel to Charleston south carolina

[@dollyng1603]

I LOVE THIS VERSION. This is the first time I've heard it. Your son sounds a lot like you. Mr. Ron Hamilton. I thought it was you at first. My very first Patch the Pirate tape I purchased at Camp CoBeAc in Houghton Lake, Mi, when I was 9 or 10. I was under Pator Steven Gilmore for about 11yrs before moving to GA. Mrs. Kelly Ballard was my 59th & 69th grade teacher. She knew the Hamilton's from another church in Mi, Brighton, I think...

[@squeegeemaster4082]

I've been to CoBeAc. Great camp.

[@Pyr.0.maniac]

I've been there too. How about The Wilds in North Carolina? At family camp this year (which I got home from about an hour ago) they had patch live, but Ron couldn't be there for health reasons. It was awesome, but Patch was missed.
