Various Artists - Choral Hymns of the Christian Faith / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Over the last two centuries and in today's churches, hymns may be referred to as songs, prayers, or even spirituals, but the need for them remains the same. These pieces are written as instruments of praise and worship to God, as prayers in time of need, and as reflections in expression of joy, sorrow, or thanksgiving. On this recording, there are inspirational words written to a Gaelic melody of unknown date and origin (InchMorning Has BrokenInch), a song written by a grieving father after the loss of all five of his children to tragedy (InchIt Is Well with My SoulInch), and a hymn assembled gradually by three people over 150 years in three countries (InchBe Still My SoulInch). The words and melodies may mean something different to everyone who sings them, but the intention of them has been the same for hundred of years - to worship, praise, and thank God.
