Yesterday I downloaded a copy of ‘How Sweet The Sound – Remembering Great Hymns Of The Faith’, produced by Covenant Life Church, through the Noise Trade site.
This explanation about the project from the Covenant Life website:
In 2008 and 2009, we as a church family spent 10 months devoted to learning great hymns of the faith. Memorizing hymns is one of the ways we can obey Scripture’s command to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God” (Colossians 3:16).
We did this project because we want to benefit not only from the songs written in our lifetime, but also from hymns that have served the people of God for generations and will endure long after we’re gone. They are time-tested and true. They speak to every circumstance of life and point us to the wisdom, love and power of our gracious God and Savior.
Each month, we highlighted a different hymn in corporate worship and sought to learn it together by memory. We invite you to download the recording, and do the same on your own, with your family, or with your church to drive these truths deep in your heart.
The album can’t be purchased in physical form, it can be downloaded through Noise Trade, a ‘Fair Trade’ music site where you give what you consider is an appropriate amount for what you are receiving. I gave the suggested US$8.00. The album is easily worth that. It is well produced, performed and recorded. You can hear samples and get to the Noise Trade website through this widget.
