Which Church songs do you like?


This is the music I grew up with, in the Rhondda. The speaker at the beginning is my maternal grandfather...then pastor at Noddfa ('Refuge'), the chapel in which this hymn festival was recorded.

Enjoy.

 
English Translation

I hear a tender voice,
A-calling now to me
To cleanse myself in precious blood,
That flowed on Calvary.

Chorus

Lord I hear Thy call
And I come to Thee!
Oh wash me spotless in the blood
That flowed on Calvary!

In Jesus is my trust
That I with all the Saints
Shall faith and hope and peace receive
And Heaven’s open gates.

In Jesus is my strength
Forgiving all my sin
He gives such power to weakened flesh
That I to heaven can win.

Cleansed, reconciled to Him
Who died upon the Tree
I come to Jesus as I am
And sing of Calvary
 
The most powerful songs are straight scripture. But, alas, we don’t sing scripture any more.
