During this time of fear and uncertainty in the COVID-19 wilderness, I\u2019ve decided to do something a little different. I\u2019m going to be daily using my blog to share texts and videos of hymns that pass along hope and comfort until the restrictions are lifted, and we can worship in our buildings once again. I hope you find them to be encouraging and edifying during this time.

Take care, everyone. Wash your hands. And keep the faith.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s St. Bartholemew\u2019s Episcopal Church in New York City, giving us a great Ascension hymn, penned by Charles Wesley. If you\u2019re one of those silly boomers who claim to dislike organ music, but really just see the organ as representative of the church experience of your formative years, the interlude before the last stanza of this hymn should convert you. If not, music is probably not for you, and you should seek therapy.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nHail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia! \nglorious to his native skies; Alleluia! \nChrist, awhile to mortals given, Alleluia! \nenters now the highest heaven! Alleluia!<\/p>\nThere the glorious triumph waits; Alleluia! \nlift your heads, eternal gates! Alleluia! \nWide unfold the radiant scene; Alleluia! \ntake the King of glory in! Alleluia!<\/p>\nSee! he lifts his hands above; Alleluia! \nSee! he shows the prints of love: Alleluia! \nHark! his gracious lips bestow, Alleluia! \nblessings on his Church below. Alleluia!<\/p>\nLord beyond our mortal sight, Alleluia! \nraise our hearts to reach thy height, Alleluia! \nthere thy face unclouded see, Alleluia! \nfind our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluia!<\/p>\nCharles Wesley, 1739<\/p>\nPhoto: \npixabay<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During this time of fear and uncertainty in the COVID-19 wilderness, I\u2019ve decided to do something a little different.
