Summary: Tennessee Ernie Ford Sings 22 Favorite Hymns 2007-10-26
Comment: These are the traditional hymns I grew up with and Mr. Ford sings them beautifully. Listening to them gives me time to pause in my life for private worship and praise to God through song.

Summary: There when I needed it. 2006-02-25
Comment: My mother was dying in a hospice. We needed some music to play for her while she was there. Two of her favorite hymns were on the one cd. It was hard to find that. Amazon came through with the selection, and overnited it to me. My mother passed 2 days later. I'll always be grateful for that cd.

Comment: Tennessee Ernie Ford was a very popular singer when I was a child and my parents and siblings loved to watch his TV show. He would always end the show with a hymn and I wanted to revisit those songs and the happy days of my youth. The Hymns and Ernie are as good as ever.

Summary: Magnificent 2004-11-23
Comment: I bought this CD specifically for the song "My Faith Looks Up To Thee" which is hard to find on a CD. This hymn was written in 1830 by Ray Palmer (lyrics) and put to music later by Lowell Mason, a man Palmer met on the streets of Boston. Mason took home the lyric, wrote a melody, and a few days later found Palmer and told him no matter what Palmer did for the rest of his life, he would be remembered for the hymn.
Another gem here is "Just As I Am Without One Plea." This is the amazing story of Charlotte Elliot. This bedridden, sick woman was feeling sorry she could not help her pastor with his fundraising for charity as she was simply too sick. After writing this hymn in 1835, she was shocked to find copies of it being sold by the thousands. The proceeds were given to the very charity Charlotte thought she could not help. After she died in 1871, others found stacks of letters sent to her from all over the world, thanking her for changing their lives and bringing them to Christ.
These are not the only two historical hymns in collection.
This is not just a CD of the great hymns of our time. This CD is a living history of hymns going far back in time.
It is a treasure.
I am thankful I got a chance to see Tennessee Ernie Ford when he appeared on TV during his glory years.
