Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken Acapeldridge 2024-03-08 | Acapella Hymn - "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken"Lyrics by John Newton (1779)Music by Franz Joseph Haydn (1797 - AUSTRIA)The tune of this song was used as the national anthem of Austria until the Habspurg empire's dissolution in 1918. It was again adopted for a national anthem in 1922, this time by Germany, and it continues to serve that purpose today. Serendipitously paired with hymn lyrics provided by John Newton, the tune could serve well as an anthem for an even greater, heavenly country. "Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God."To support and find more of my work, visit acapeldridge.com.

By keeping it according to Your word."Psalm 119:9, NASBTheir lifespans separated by multiple decades, these two men never had the chance to meet in person.

These lyrics have more verses that I didn't know about, and their definitely worth reading and appreciating: How shall the young secure their hearts,And guard their lives from sin?Thy word the choicest rules impartsTo keep the conscience clean.When once it enters to the mind,It spreads such light abroad,The meanest souls instruction find,And raise their thoughts to God.'Tis like the sun, a heav'nly light,That guides us all the day;And through the dangers of the night,A lamp to lead our way.The men that keep thy law with care,And meditate thy word,Grow wiser than their teachers are,And better know the Lord.Thy precepts make me truly wise:I hate the sinner's road;I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,But love thy law, my God.The starry heavens thy rule obey,The earth maintains her place;And these thy servants night and dayThy skill and power express.But still thy law and gospel, Lord,Have lessons more divine;Not earth stands firmer than thy word,Nor stars so nobly shine.Thy word is everlasting truth,How pure is every page!That holy book shall guide our youth,And well support our age.If you'd like to find more or become a supporter of my work, please visit acapeldridge.com.

Paradise Valley Acapeldridge 2021-06-04 | Lyrics by Noah White, Music by Virgil Stamps (1935).My SISTER, Tabitha, and I teamed up to sing a family favorite! "Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever."Revelation 22:1-5If you'd like to find more of or become a supporter of my work, please visit acapeldridge.com.
He Gives Us More Grace Acapeldridge 2021-04-30 | "He Gives Us More Grace" - A Capella HymnLyrics by Annie Flint (1866-1932), Music by Tim Berman (2016)The sheet music for this song can be found here: http://songsofthechurch.org/shop/he-gives-us-more-graceWhen I heard this hymn for the first time, it quickly became one of my favorite combinations of powerful lyrics and powerful melody. Knowing the story of Annie Flint also brings depth to the hymn, who, as a young woman, was diagnosed with what became a debilitating and ultimately crippling arthritis. From her grief and pain were born the lyrics to this hymn, and many others. "Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."2 Corinthians 12:8-10If you'd like to find more of or become a supporter of my work, please visit acapeldridge.com.

Jesus said in Matthew 5, "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." May the people of God be such a shining light in the darkness of the world today!The family at Melody Publications reached out to me a little while back, and thought that we shared many of the same goals, namely, the promotion, the preservation, and the restoration of meaningful worship in song for Christians today. They sent me a copy of their songbook, and I absolutely loved it. As many of you may know, this page is a hobby of mine, not a career. So, when I decided to enter this partnership with them (which will be a theme for the rest of the year), I did so motivated by my firm belief in the goals of their mission and the tools with which they seek to accomplish it. But, more information on all of that in the next few weeks!If you'd like to find more of or become a supporter of my work, please visit acapeldridge.com.

Ill Live On Acapeldridge 2019-12-07 | I'll Live On - Acapella HymnLyrics and Music by Thomas LaneyI remember the first time I heard this song. It wasn't one we normally sang in our church (although it was in our hymnal). A man who had recently joined the congregation got up to lead songs, and he led this one. As I've grown and moved from place to place, I've found that now I'm often the one leading "old classics" that no one else knows yet!This song is available on my new album, "Whatever is Pure", which is available at acapeldridge.com.Lyrics by Francis of Assisi (1225)Music by Geistliche Kirchengesang (1623)This song is a part of my newest album, Whatever is Worthy of Praise, which is available at acapeldridge.com.If you'd like to become a supporter of my work, please visit acapeldridge.com/support-my-work.
Ninety and Nine Acapeldridge 2019-11-19 | Lyrics by Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane, Music by Ira SankeyAs I always say, this one is an all-time favorite of mine. It feels like a theme to an old silent movie, where the hero wins in the end. The lyrics to the last verse are some of my favorites... "All through the mountains, thunder riv'n, and up from the rocky steep..." Just so cool. One of the COOLEST things about this hymn, which is over 100 years old, is that there exists an audio recording of the original author, Ira Sankey, singing the song himself: youtube.com/watch?v=mbcWklq12nk.
