I'm 21 years old and I absolutely love the old hymns of the faith. They contain deep and powerful truths which are altogether absent from today's modern, shallow, repetitive, and emotional "worship" songs.
I woke up with memories of this song from my childhood and decided to search for it. My heart was blessed by its melody and lyrics. This song was used a the intro to a Sunday morning radio programme. All the memories of my childhood just flooded my heart a new. God bless you for reading and stay near to the heart ❤️ of God.
So love this hymn and all the sweet old hymns. This is also a prayer and mine today as we thirst for righteousness in this dark World, now as Halloween approaches.
Great hymn! “He is nearer to us than we are to ourselves.” What bliss it is to find that place of stillness/waiting where our thinking mind gets benched for a time. So needed in our busy cultures.
Yes, I love the old hymns. I hope this site keeps posting more of them. The choir selections are awesome. The lyrics provided help so much. More song from the old hymnals please.
This is a very special hymn written by one of our family’s ancestors, Cleland B McAfee, after the death in 1896 of his two nieces from diptheria . This song is sung at all McAfee funerals. It is beautiful. (From my cousin)
I do not know the hymns like that. But I tell you one thing, this was the best Christian gospel song hymns I ever listened to. Wow just wow, and then because it talks about the heart of God😍 I stumbled upon this in my mother's red Hymn book once I opened it and decided to check this one out first. 💕
God Bless You. Keep seeking the Lord God he really is the Light and Hope for our lives. The time here is short. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. 🙏
As a 70 year old Baptist just outside Washington DC, I appreciate immensely the contribution of these Mennonite choirs and SE Samonte to Christian music. These videos have had deep impact to my soul. What other century has such a library of Christian hymns?
There is a conservative Mennonite church in Baltimore, MD. The pastor used to live in DC and would travel each week to attend this church with his family. He did that weekly for 8 years. (If your curious the name of the church is Hampden Mennonite)
Thank you so much for posting these hymns. There are very few churches nowadays who still sing these old songs, which is so very sad. These songs are so meaningful and give proper reverence to the Lord. These were written by some of the greatest gospel songwriters who ever lived. At least we can hear these great songs on You Tube. Thanks again for posting them.
Amen...i can barely bare to hear non hymn like Christian songs any longer. I still enjoy some Contemporary Christian music but not half as much as use to. I prefer the hymns as well to draw me close to God! I praise God for His love and mercy to let me 👂 hear!!!
Hi, y'all! I have not heard this song for some 35 years and the Lord brought this song to back to my heart ❤️ and life at a time I needed His closeness. I have played this song from different singers and it was beautiful! I believe God will use this song to touch your heart! The Lord bless you and keep you!
This hymn broke my heart it's so beautiful I'm in tears. The hymns of the past have true meaning and make you feel that GOD is holding your hand all the way back to him. God Bless every single person in our beautiful world. XX. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I was just reading Isaiah 40:11 and I remembered listening to this hymn. I'm glad I could find it again. I do agree that the old hymns are great. There's more about God in them and less of us. They're so beautiful and full of meaning.
I came across this beautiful Hymn in the 60s and recently as I was the praising the Lord, this Hymn came to my mind "Near to the Heart of God: Written by Cleland B. McAfee.1866-1944 "From the Hymnal, "Hymns of Glorious Praise." Thanks for posting this beautiful Hymn. When I sing this song, I feel the closeness of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ!

SE Samonte - I personally thank you so very much for your CHRISTian Ministry of posting so many of these 'olde Hymns' that are truly based upon the Rich Wondrous Meaningful Words of Eternal Truth and Blessed Hope of "the word of the LORD" ~ with such marvelous pictures of God's Creation ~ and which are so Well and Beautifully Sung ~ *"That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth"* - For *"it is written"* in Hebrews 2:12 [AV]~[KJV] *:* *"Saying,* *I will declare thy name unto my brethren,* *in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee."* . *AMEN* .
Im am disgusted and dismayed by the so called COntemporary Christian Music. Music played in modern Protestant churches has no reverence for God, no sense of repentance and need of conversion, no awe for God. It is shallow, mundane, mood-oriented, world-friendly and will definitely lead many to perdition...

I am 73 years old and still listen to the old hymns
I rather the old hymnal any day
I can not explain how much peace this song gives me
Trust in Him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8
I know one day I will be there, he has written it on my heart ,praise his wholly
name .
have loved this song since childhood
Growing up as a seventh day Adventist this song gave and still gives me so much comfort
Come out from Egypt, there is freedom in the true Jesus Christ
The older the hymns , the more I am blessed, grew up with these old old hymns . And then will always bless my soul...
I haven't heard this song is many,many years and my sprit just reminds me of it to comfort my soul in a time when I really needed it.
Alot of these old time Christian gospel songs literally bring tears to my eyes. They touch the heart ❤️
Amen❤
They Touch our hearts because they are Spirit breath .
My Grandpa died Sept 18 1989. This was his favorite hymn. it was sung at his funeral. I still miss him so much
I'm 21 years old and I absolutely love the old hymns of the faith. They contain deep and powerful truths which are altogether absent from today's modern, shallow, repetitive, and emotional "worship" songs.
I couldn't agree more, Alex! What a contrast! (Traditional hymns, for the word!)
You are truly enlightened by His Love! For it's all about HIM. Bless you Alex!
Sound observation and judgment, Alex! The Holy Spirit has revealed that to you. May He guide you higher and higher above the mediocrity of the times.
im 15 and i enjoy these old hymns i was raised around old music like this
Alex Lanes I'm 21 too, and I absolutely agree with you!

Old fashioned hymns ARE wonderful!!
The best to listen when you need peace and feel God close. Thank you for making this.
The old hymns that will forever draw hearts to God.
Amen! I absolutely believed the power and anointing of the songs in the Hymns. I grew in this kind of songs of worship..

God bless you guys for these life refreshing hymns with the meat of God's word that appears to be neglected by many congregations these days
Visit sda church
If you visit seventh day adventist you will be blessed
Sad but true
What culture or religion in all the world can even come close to the Christ inspired hymn tradition...good rendition here 👍

I agree. It's because Christianity is the only way. Christ the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the only way to the Father.
