Hymns
Old hymns, and the Scripture they were born from.
Every hymn in this lane was born out of a passage. Here the passage scrolls — verse by verse, in time — while the hymn itself carries it, so each explains the other: the text gives the hymn its weight, and the hymn gives the text its memory. The words and tunes are public domain; each recording is freely licensed and credited on its page. King James Version.
Pieces
Amazing Grace
Newton’s hymn over the whole of the grace chapter: dead in trespasses, quickened by grace, the far-off brought nigh, strangers made fellowcitizens of the household of God. Sung bare — one voice, no instruments.
How Can I Keep from Singing?
Two psalms of a man lifted out of the pit — mourning turned into dancing, a new song put in his mouth — scrolled under the hymn they gave us.
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
The funeral hymn over the chapter of the better home: a new heaven and a new earth, all tears wiped away, and no more death, neither sorrow nor crying.
