I was very blessed to grow up in a Christian home. And from a very early age, I was singing solos in church.
Out of all the beautiful and well written Christian songs out there, some of my very favorite are the great hymns of the church. These hymns were usually Scripture verses set to music. It made memorizing Scripture very easy for the old and the young. I can memorize most anything if it involves music.
Since my children were young, we have sung Psalm 128 as a family. The words and midi file are below.
Original Trinity Hymnal, #626
From Psalm 128
Blest the man that fears Jehovah,
Walking ever in his ways,
By thy toil thou shalt be prospered
And be happy all thy days.
In thy wife thou shalt have gladness,
She shall fill thy home with good,
Happy in her loving service
And the joys of motherhood.
Joyful children, sons and daughters,
Shall about thy table meet,
Olive plants, in strength and beauty,
Full of hope and promise sweet.
Lo, on him that fears Jehovah
Shall this blessedness attend,
For Jehovah out of Zion
Shall to thee his blessing send.
Thou shalt see God’s kingdom prosper
All thy days, till life shall cease,
Thou shalt see thy children’s children;
On thy people, Lord, be peace.
Have a wonderful and blessed Sabbath!
