Greetings brothers and sisters! It's been over a year since my last recording. During that time, I've been spending every free moment building a house for my family. We're still a couple of months away from being able to move in but when that time comes, I hope to be able to record and post at least once a month while we keep finishing the house. Hang in there!
Did you build it by hand? That's so cool!

Yes ma'am! Every piece of rebar in the foundation, every yard of concrete, every board and nail, window, wire, pipe, etc. My wife and I and her father have done about 90% of it with a buddy of mine and a friend of my wife's family helping with the other 10%. It's been quite a journey and we're ready to be done with it. But I know we'll be very proud once we finally get moved in.
@@acappellahymns Wow! Congrats on your new house then. We've all missed your uploads and it's good to have you back.
@@pamelah1220
I've missed y'all and have missed recording. I'm looking forward to being part of the channel again!
Congratulations, and welcome back!
I loved next door to my grandparents with access in back garden, sometimes when I went in after school she would be sitting playing and singing this lovely old hymn lovely memories ❤❤
God bless you!
I appreciate your work, it really inspired me to record hymns in Spanish. 🙏
Let me know if you do. I started to create a playlist with bilingual hymns. Sometimes it’s hard to find them.
My favorite hymn, since I found it when I was about 8-9 yrs old.
The legend has returned!!!
Hahaha!!!! 🤣 For now! I've got one other recorded right now but may not be able to get to it for a few weeks. Then it *may* be a couple more months before I can regularly get back in to recording. I'm looking forward to it though!
@@acappellahymns I found out about you because my dad was subscribed to you, he's a song leader at our church and he uses you and lot's of other programs to help him lead.

Oh, neat! Mind if I ask what part of the world you're in? I'm in the south-eastern US.
@@acappellahymns Central valley of California?
@@proto_fanyt
Oh, long way away! Hope all is well with you and your family.
Amen. A beautiful hymn thanks for sharing
This was one of my mothers favorite hymns. Thank you for posting it . I'm glad you are back brother.
You're very welcome, brother! I hope to start posting more regularly soon!
As an atheist with religious trauma, hearing these songs oddly enough doesn’t bring me back bad memories. I guess that’s just the power of music for you. When I was younger these songs are what made me interested in music in the first place, and sometimes I use these to practice sight reading. Keep up the good work! :)
I grew up in the church but lost my faith. For 25 years I lived my own life. Now I have come back to the church and feel a peace and happiness I can’t describe. Maybe you should try going to a service or two and let the music speak to you.
@@zerobyte802 I do plan on going to a service maybe someday again. I’m still gonna remain atheist, but hey the music helps with my learning of music. I’m only really interested in computer science and music, and church kind of contributed to me liking music
@@kinny6823 Whatever "religious trauma" you have, which I don't know nor deny, I do know that God did not do that to you. To deny God for something that people did is only hurting yourself. Please reconsider.
@@kinny6823 On behalf Christians, I am sorry you went through pain and religious trauma. Those people are not doing what Christ commanded which is to love and not judge. We are all in need of grace, needless to say, regardless of background. Don't just give church a chance. Give Christ a chance. I say this with love.
Many years ago my mother-in-law played this at a small church where I was a visiting preacher. She only played for me a few times, but each time was special.
ACAPELLA SONGS ARE THE BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD. GIVES COMPLETE BLISS. BRINGS PRAISE AND ADORATION TO THE FATHER. MAKES HIM HAPPY & GRACIOUS. THANKS FOR THE SONG.
YES, I LOVE IT. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU WHO WILL READ THIS NOTE.
Wonderful old hymn
Hey! I was thinking about you last week and wondering how things were going with your house. Glad to hear it's coming along and that you're close to being done! Philip Bliss was an amazing hymn writer and certainly one of the greats. He wrote this song after listening to DL Moody deliver a sermon, in which an incident in Cleveland Harbor was used as an object. Had the lighthouse's lower lights been working correctly, tragedy would have been avoided. Thanks for finding the time to record 😄
Great hymn
Oh, neat! Didn't know the story behind it. Always great to hear from you, Wes!
Welcome back! We listen to your hymns nearly every day. God bless you and your family.
Proverbs 24:3-4
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Isaiah 32:18 - And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Brightly beams our father's mercy
From his lighthouse evermore
But to us he gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore
Let the lower lights be burning
Send a gleam across the wave
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save
Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching, longing
For the lights along the shore
Let the lower lights be burning
Send a gleam across the wave
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save

I assumed you were finished recording more hymns before i found you. Glad to see i do have more to look forward to. Thanks.
Hello! I've been personally building our house for the past year so nearly every free moment has been dedicated to that. I recently had the chance to record two hymns for the channel when I was recording for something else. I'm very excited to get back to recording on a regular basis once we get the house done. Hopefully just after Christmas I can start getting at least one out per month!
Thank you for your new upload after a year.

Building for Eternity(We are building in sorrow or joy) by N. B. Sargent
I love it. This is the Hymn my pastor would like for us to try and sing as a quartet. The hymnbook arrangement we have is not as easy to read. Where can i find it like you have with the shape notes?
I often use a hymnal called Praise for the Lord which is where I get 90% of these arrangements. But there plenty of others out there as well.
Alternatively, you could check Hymnary.org here: hymnary.org/text/brightly_beams_our_fathers_mercy#
They have hymnal scans for this song dating all the way back to 1874. And some of them are with shape notes.
@@acappellahymns Thank you, just found it on Hymnary. Blessings.
At the end of the stanza you sustain more than two beats, is that right? I want to know it. Please give me the clear reason
I held the last note of each stanza just a bit longer simply due to personal preference and no other reason.
@@acappellahymns thank you for the reply, I simply want to know the reason, because in that part there is so many opinion I heard.
Can you give guitar chord on your note. ..please
With guitar chords
This channel is "A Cappella Hymns". So providing chord names on the sheet music slides will likely never be a focus of mine.
But the song is in Bb Major. It starts on the I (Bb). Then goes to a IV (Eb) on "mercy". Then to a major II (C) on "light". "But to us" is back on I. "Keeping" is back to IV". Then "Lights along the" is V (F). And back to I at the end of the first verse. The chorus is IV, I, Major II, V, I, IV, V, I.
If you are capoed on the 3rd fret, you can play in G position. So it would *look like* - G, C, A (major), and D.
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
