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

Okay, the last Fanny Crosby hymn I featured here<\/a> did pretty well. Here\u2019s one that I would count among her finest, though its popularity has waned a bit in recent times. While some Crosby hymns are vapid (Softly and Tenderly fight me!), I think this one deserves to endure. Here we have Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia singing \u201cAll the Way My Savior Leads Me\u201d in a memorial service for Samuel Hsu, who after some research I found was a Julliard-educated pianist, musicologist, and professor.<\/p>\n

I should warn that if you search YouTube for better recordings, you will probably run into the crappy Thris Comlin recording, and it will ruin your day. Consider yourself warned, friends.<\/p>\n
