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, ...

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.

The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those wh...

  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 Savi...

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 t...

Majestic Mountains        Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.

Verse 3  Fair is the sunshine, fair...

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 wh...
