Jesus, Lover of My Soul - SCMC Community Hymn Sing 2013

[@YuriyAndSarahKravets]

*Jesus, Lover of My Soul* 1. Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. 2. Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4. Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart; Rise to all eternity.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Just wonderful! Just absolutely wonderful, just voices, not ORGAN or PIANO. Just wonderful! The harmony is excellent!

[@JRT5573]

Beautiful. One of my favorite hymns. "Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee!"

While I was studying in The States, I attended several times a large Church of Christ congregation in Jackson, MS. And they sang acapella all their hymns.

[@alanyoder5232]

I led singing in the Church of Christ in Montrose Colorado. Nothing as uplifting as the human voice singing the praised of our Lord.

[@getdusty1]

I'm 72 and I've always been a member of the church of Christ. We have a get-together called Diana Singing in Tennessee and nothing short of a University Chorus can come close to this!! It's amazing!!!

[@maxc3470]

I love acappella singing. I was in a baptist choir some years ago and they, like all now, pick the best singers for praise teams and the choir is often left out. It was sad. Like someone said here also, most of the congregations let the choirs sing or if they sing it is half heartedly. Here everyone sings from the heart. Very refreshing not to hear drums banging and electric guitars, but just the pure worship of the voice. Lastly, to see the close ups of the women and the pure looks on their faces was a blessing. This is the true beauty of Christ shining through these Godly people.

[@larrymcclain8874]

Not to mention the decibel level of rock music in these contemporary churches. Most people in a secular sense may go to a rock concert possibly a few times in their whole lives. But these young people in these churches hear this loud rock music once or twice a week. Imagine this for 20 - 50 years! By the time they reach age 50 or so they will be totally deaf! Somehow I don't believe that is what God had in mind.

[@Want2cJesus]

I refuse to listen to that new worldly bedlam of noise.

I love the way Mennonites sing. I attended one of their Bible colleges and the singing was much like this. Rarely do you hear this kind of singing among other Christian groups.

[@phyllispetras3821]

I think they should reintroduce this.

[@ElizabethStaeheli]

It's accapella, that's why.

[@rainbowgirlism]

@@ElizabethStaeheli It's also because they teach people HOW to sing.

[@justinchamberlain3443]

Praise the LORD! Hugs and prayers from Brasil. Come down here and sing!

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

That was absolutely moving.

[@trixtwin19]

Charles Wesley was preaching in Ireland when he was attacked by a mob. He escaped to a farmhouse where the farmer's wife hid him in the dairy. She offered refreshment to the mobsters, and while they were eating she let Charles Wesley out through a window outside which there was a ditch where he could hide until it was safe to move on.. It was while he was in the ditch that he wrote these words.

[@SCMC]

john hopkinson Thanks for giving some historical context for this song John!

[@alivenwell7]

Must find more evidence of this♡♡

[@neroetal]

john hopkinson wow

[@ElizabethStaeheli]

Let us not treat those who come to us with an unfamiliar Bible truth as that mob treated Charles Wesley. We have to keep our minds open and prayerful when the "different" preacher comes to us as Charles and John Wesley came to the churches in their day--because many a time, they were not welcomed! And what became of the mob? Once they refused the light, it may not have been given to them a second time!

[@antonralph3491]

@@ElizabethStaeheli Elizabeth you should familiarize yourself with Irish history. Catholics and protestants murdered each other for 500 years. What we've done to each other is heartbreaking. Ireland has a terrible history of bloodshed . All of the mainstream churches particularly church of Ireland and Catholic church need to acknowledge to God the terrible things we've done. Then we should see a breakthrough in the spread of the Gospel in Ireland. May God have mercy on us.

+JD2CYLINDERNUT Good singing requires effort, and that's our goal in this ministry--to help people learn to sing well and to sing for God's glory and people's enjoyment and blessing.

When it's for God's glory, it should automatically be the enjoyment of the people. it should always be about pleasing God. anything short of that, leaves it all in vane.

[@jamesswensen3109]

This is the version I’m familiar with.

[@jens5519]

I'm wondering who composed this arrangement? Is the score available for purchase?

[@SCMC]

Hi Jen, this is simply the hymn (see the sheet music here - hymnary.org/hymn/BH2008/167), but the song leader had the men sing verses 1 and 3 (they sang all four parts), and the women verse 2 (all four parts again). Then he just combined the men on all four parts and the women on all four parts for verse 4, resulting in the eight-part last verse.)

[@jdconyx]

Where is this and what denomination? We sing the same tune in the Baptist Church!

[@stevebyler9149]

This is a community hymn sing as a part of the annual Shenandoah Christian Music Camp in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It is a ministry serving the Anabaptist tradition. Men and women were placed into their separate parts, hence the segregated seating.

[@jdconyx]

Ok cool! I love that hymn and was beautiful the way it was done! Is it open to any faith? I would love to have more information on it!

[@stevebyler9149]

The hymn sing is open to anyone who wants to attend. The next one is Sunday, June 1, 2014 at 7:00 PM.

[@uriahpeep9036]

John: You may sing the same tune in the Baptist setting.....but I can assure you that typical Baptists do NOT sing in this fashion. In that setting, the only ones singing are the choir and the choir director while the rest yawn through it.

[@phyllispetras3821]

Of all the different melodies sung to this, this is my favorite...... It is also very nice to chord on the piano.

[@GomerfromIsaan]

My hymn book has two versions of this song, one in 3/4 time and the other in 4/4 time. This version, in 3/4 time sounds much better.

[@jaccovanderveen5517]

Why are they segregated?

[@uriahpeep9036]

In Amish and Mennonite worship services this is customary.

[@greylight5]

It's just how Mennonites do. Less distraction, and makes the church more of a family instead of everyone sitting in their family groups. It helps with singing too.

[@DerKirchenhocker]

I joined a similar Mennonite church nearly thirty years ago and I have come to appreciate this practice. Singles sit right in with the others of their own gender rather than by themselves and after the service is over it’s much easier to visit and fellowship with your own gender. Actually this practice is probably as old as the Church itself, meaning almost 2000 years.
