Kingsway's objective here of presenting hymns in a way that the message is focused around a theme (redemption, discipleship and here faithfulness) is highly effective if this disc is anything to go by! Contained here are classic hymns such as Crosby's "Blessed Assurance", Baker/Dykes' "The King Of Love My Shepherd Is" and Scriven's "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" all beautifully presented to the listener in a classical choral style. There are outstanding moments amongst the great tracks contained here, "Oh Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go" is a beautifully sung rendition, (although some may struggle with the Old English), and the outstanding brass band on "And Can It Be". My only complaint is simply the lack of information on where the recordings were sourced and artist details. Surely, Kingsway, this is not too much to ask.
