Mother of Gooses

The road and trees      Introduction Hello, and welcome the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that your stay is satisfactory. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Crown Him With Many Crowns; it was written in 1851 by Matthew Bridges and Godfrey Thring. It is now published in 786 hymnals, which is less than some hymns, more than others.  It is a praise song, and it is the favorite hymn of somebody that I love dearly.  If you don't know how the tune goes, look up Kaleb Brasee on YouTube; he plays it on the piano, and he does a good job, as usual. See you in the afterwards. Wow, that was lame. A country-side  The Lyrics  Verse 1  Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! How the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King  Through all eternity. Verse 2  Crown Him the Lord of love! Behold His hands and side; Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified! N

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro

  Introduction  Hello, my friends whom I have never seen and probably never will, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, recipes, and then just some facts about anything that strikes my fancy at that particular moment.. Today we are looking at the hymn by Gloria and Bill Gaither, Because He Lives; they wrote it in 1971, and it is now published in 58 hymnals. That isn't as many as some songs, but it is still a lot.  Because He Lives is about how we can go through life with the knowledge that Jesus is living, and will help us when we call upon His name. If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Carrie Underwood; she did a nice job, if you excuse the fact that she doesn't sing the whole hymn. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1  God sent His Son, they called him Jesus, He came to love, heal and forgive;  He bled and died to buy my pardon. An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. Chorus

  Mountains and a power line Introduction Hello, and welcome to my blog, known as the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can shed some light on anything that you are wondering about. Today, we are looking at the hymn by Phillip Bliss, I Will Sing Of My Redeemer; he wrote it in 1876, and it is, in 2024, published in 315 hymnals. If you don't know the tune, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee or Folksandhymns.  See you later! Snowy forest       The Lyrics Verse 1  I will sing of my Redeemer,  And His wondrous love to me;  On the cruel cross He suffered, From the curse to set me free. Chorus Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer, With His blood He purchased me; On the cross, He sealed my pardon, Paid the debt, and made me free. Verse 2  I will tell the wondrous story, How my lost estate to save, In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave. Chorus Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer, With His blood He purchased me; On the cross, He sealed my pardon, Paid the

Some trees and a mountain             Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Redeemed, How I Love To Proclaim It, written by Fanny Crosby in 1882. It is a very nice song, and if you don't know how the tune goes, go look up Folksandhymns on YouTube. Now, on with the show! Some houses The Lyrics Verse 1  Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;  Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am. Chorus Redeemed, redeemed,  Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. Verse 2  Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,  No language my rapture can tell;  I know that the light of His presence  With me doth continually dwell. Chorus Redeemed, redeemed,  Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. Verse 3  I think of my blessed Redeemer, 

Majestic Mountains        Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus by Joseph Seiss in 1662, and it is now published in 564 hymnals. Around that timeframe; it is kind of murky. If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee; if you haven't heard me talk about him, he plays the piano, and does a great job. Now, on with the show! A dashboard, sky, trees, and mountains The Lyrics  Verse 1  Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown. Verse 2  Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,  Who makes the woeful heart to sing. Verse 3  Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, And all

A sign on a bridge         Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I ramble about hymns, instruments and things. No niche, just things. Rather random. Today, our random subject is the lyrics to the sea shanty, The Wellerman. I'm not sure who wrote it; probably the men who worked for the Weller family. Go to Folksandhymns to hear the tune, or Nathan Evans. Both do a good job. Now, on with the show! A house and trees            The Lyrics  Verse 1  There once was a ship that put to sea, The name of the shop was the Billy O' Tea; The winds blew up, her bow dipped down, Oh blow, my bully boys, blow. Chorus Soon may the Wellerman come, To bring us sugar and tea and rum; One day, when the tonguing is done,  We'll take our leave and go. Verse 2  She'd been not two weeks from shore  When down on her a Right whale bore; The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow. Chorus Soon may the Wellerman come, To bri

Mountains and the road        Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have. I have recently decided that at least once a month I would be posting a chapter from a book in the Bible. I have the NIV Bible, so I hope that you don't mind.  Today, we are reading Proverbs 31, one of the best passages in the Bible. Proverbs is, honestly, one of the best books in the Bible; it has a lot of sound advice, good warnings, and it can help you know what is right and wrong.  Proverbs 31 mainly talks about how a woman should be. Women, read this to learn how you should be. Men, read this to find out what kind of woman you want to marry. On to the chapter!  Mountain View  The Chapter  The sayings of King Lemuel- an inspired utterance his mother taught him. Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers! Do not spend your strength on women,  Your vigor on those who ruin king

  Mountain view  Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by William P. Mackay, Revive Us Again; he wrote it between 1863-1867, and it is now published in 1,231 hymnals. I first heard it on Folksandhymns, and it is now one of my favorite hymns. Now, on with the show, for lack of better words. Snow, trees, and mountains          The Lyrics  Verse 1  We praise Thee, o God,  For the Son of Thy love, For Jesus who died  And is now gone above. Chorus Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again! Verse 2  We praise Thee, o God, For Thy Spirit of light, Who hath shown us our Savior And scattered our night. Chorus Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again! Verse 3  We praise Thee, o God,  For the joy Thou hast giv'n To Thy saints in communion, These foretaste

A pretty country-side  Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that your questions are answered in this blog post. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Be In Time. I am not sure who wrote it, or when. Sorry. It is about how we can't know how long we are going to life, and should therefore be trying to live for Jesus. If you don't know how the tune goes, look up Squirrel 24 on YouTube; it is my favorite version of the song, and the congregation did a pretty good job. Now, on with the show! (Sorry, can't think of a better outro) Unprofessionally taken, but it looks cool The Lyrics  Verse 1  Life at best is very brief,  Like the falling of a leaf, Like the binding of  a sheaf,  Be in time. Fleeting days are telling fast That the die will soon be cast, And the fatal line be passed, Be in time. Chorus Be in time, be in time; While the voice of Jesus calls you, Be in time. If in sin you longer wait,  You may find no open gate, An

Mossy logs Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by Charlotte Elliot, Just As I Am. She wrote it in 1835, and it is now published in over 2,000 hymnals. Both Carrie Underwood and Alan Jackson sang it, so that's where you go to learn the tune. Personally, I listen to Carrie's version more. Just As I Am is about coming to Christ, and trusting that He will take away your sins. Now, as I have nothing else to add, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Verse 2 Just as I am, and waiting not,  To rid my soul of one dark blot; To Thee who's blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Verse 3 Just as I am, though tossed about,  With many a conflict, many a doubt; Fightings within, and fears without, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Verse

Mountains, sky, and road I was turning Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, some recipes, and some instrument facts. I even did something about the Mothman , so go check that out. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Jesus Is All The World To Me, by Will L. Thompson in 1904. Will L. Thompson also wrote the hymn, Softly And Tenderly; check that one out. If you don't know the tune to Jesus Is All The World To Me, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee; he did a very nice job. Now, on with the show! Trees and water      The Lyrics Verse 1  Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, Without Him, I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go,  No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad,  He's my friend. Verse 2  Jesus is all the world to me, My friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings and  He gives the o'er and o'er. He sends

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I talk about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.  Today, we are looking at the Guernsey Cattle breed. I have recently decided that I really like the Guernsey, because they are AMAZING. The average Guernsey cow gives 4.6 to 5.5 gallons of milk per day. That is a lot. And this isn't just any milk either; the Guernsey gives milk that is high in protein and butterfat.  So when you let the milk sit in the fridge for a several hours, the cream comes to the top, you can skim it, and then you can shake it and make the precious baking substance known as butter. And, since the Guernsey is a medium-sized cow, you are giving it 20 to 30 percent less feed for each pound of milk that you get, compared to the much bigger Holstein. And how are they for beef, you might ask. The beef from a Guernsey is said to be delicious; however, the fat is yellow, and, being incredibly picky and spoiled, people don't like that. Come on, people! It&
