This took me back to school assembly! All the golden oldies are here, including my personal favourites, "There Is A Green Hill Far Away", "Were You There?", "Take My Life And Let It Be" and "Have Thine Own Way Lord". No one can deny that these hymns are classics. It is amazing to think that some of these were written as far back as the 18th century and we are still singing them today. However, I find that they always sound more stirring when sung, as they were intended, in a congregation. The solo vocals and mainly keyboard accompaniment fail to convey the passion and spirit in which these hymns were written. Other hymns included are "Abide With Me", "Christ The Lord Is Risen Today", "Rock Of Ages" and "What Can Wash Away My Sin". If you are looking for background music to sing along to when doing the dusting this might fit the bill. Otherwise nothing to really get excited about I am afraid.
