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 a great hymn that you should know. And it\u2019s played and sung by a great church you should also know, Boston\u2019s Church of the Advent. They\u2019re singing Christ is Made the Sure Foundation to the tune WESTMINSTER ABBEY. You can also sing it to REGENT SQUARE, although it\u2019s a struggle for me to not sing \u201cCome and worship, come and worship, worship Christ the newborn King\u201d on the last couple lines of each stanza. But do as you wish. This is a Latin hymn from the 7th century, translated by, who else, J.M. Neale.<\/p>\n
