Chris, should you read my comment, the light of the Lord shines through you. I know our Heavenly Father loves you immensely. I know He loves your prayers, and songs of worship. All glory to God and may He forever continue to bless you with wisdom, a glad heart and spirit, a phenomenal voice, and use you to draw others to the promises of Heaven through Salvation from our Messiah, Yeshua. I did not mention blessing you with wealth as something tells me you are perhaps one of the richest, fullest Spirits alive today. Bless You.

I absolutely love this!!! My only source of peace and joy is Jesus Christ!!! Blessed be the name of the Lord 💕

I'm a true lover of metal. That was my battle music against evil. Deliverance, sacred warrior, these kind of cats. This is a whole different kind of strength. My knees on the ground and my head bowed before my king lord Jesus. Love it!

Pretty ballads, or metal music, all can take one along a spiritual journey in different ways.

Oh bless you Chris. What a comfort to those of us who are shut in, within our homes, within bodies that don't work anymore. I do remember the gladness, it fills me like my younger days singing in church. Thank you so much.

Used to listen to this song in 90s when I was a new young believer. Now it even hits home more after 30 years. Be glad for the debt Jesus has paid on my behalf.

This song and the singing is really beautiful.

An old favorite when Glad sang it. Thanks for reviving it such a great performance! Still true after all these years!

Calming, relaxing scenery. So glad there is a God in heaven.

I am crazy for hymns in a cappella harmony by the incredibly talented and soulful Chris Rupp!

even more beautiful with a happy dog. :-) Be glad!

Thank you for this wonderful cover. It was my favorite by Glad.

God Bless you Chris for a wonderful God Giving voice. Love you brother from Sister in Christ.

Love the music. You're a force to be reckoned with a-Cappella wise, even without your masterpiece that is Home Free. Hymns are especially great when I see songs that maybe aren't sung as much in my church as they used to be. Very uplifting, and a great message for a song about God's grace. Keep it up!

My dad was a member of Glad. Back in the mid 90's-early 2000's... this was always one of my favorites even as a kid. Always happy to see their music continue to have an impact. I remember Be Ye Glad being one of my favorites and In The First Light being the other... they also had an a cappella arrangement of And Can It Be that was incredible... lots of good memories. Thanks man!

NICE. What a beautiful homage to the ever awesome "Glad" So well-done.💖🎶

Just came across this and Thank you so much for this! This has been one of my favorite songs since Glad first released it in 1988. I have always wanted to sing it because the harmonies are so melodic and so tight. Unfortunately, back in my day multiple tracks by one person was not something I could afford. Bless God for technology! Your rendition is second to Glads original and probably even better. The fact that you preformed all the parts, says a lot for the truly exceptional artist that you are. Keep exercising that talent and that faith! God Bless!

Chris - I found this song by accident. I guess you tube had it in the line up & I didn't notice it. Have been listening a lot to your song Movin On with Home Free. I love the version where the group backs you up. I'll be Movin On in a year or so. Your song made me cry at first, but now I feel more comfort from it. And then I found Be Ye Glad. Talk about comfort!!! It is a wonderful song & your version gives me lots of comfort, along with some tears. Think I'll have it played at my memorial service and hope that my family gets comfort from it too. You did an absolutely fabulous job on this song!!! THANK YOU.

At the time Glad had produced this song, my sister (a Christian) and best friend took her life. Listening to this song saved my broken soul. I played it again and again. I actually like your version slightly better because the lead vocal (are they all you?) stands out a little more and makes the lyrics a little more distinctive. This may be played at my mother-in-laws funeral, who died in ass'td living shortly after COVID closed the doors.If this doesn't give a picture of heaven, I don't know what would... well done good and faithful servant.

You need to hear the original lyrics and see how Glad got them quite wrong in a couple of places. "Giving hope IN a storm sea of night" and "Be a refuge amidst the slaughter FOR these fugitives in their flight." Ask Michael Kelly Blanchard. He wrote it.

You're quite welcome - it's hard not to sing along with you on these songs - brought back so many memories of that group called Glad - we saw them in concert at our church back in the day (I'm dating myself now LOL), but they were fantastic and my dad just had to buy one of their albums. I wish he still had it. I think it would be fun to go back and listen to that album again. Thanks for bringing back some fun memories :) Did you ever hear of a group called Bondservant? I believe they sang WITH Glad at that concert but I can't recall if they were a capella or not. Either way - they were also very good, had some really cool songs. I'll have to see if those albums still exist :)

Chris...you guys are very good and I hope your new adventure is fruitful indeed...I liked what Glad did with instruments much better...saw them in concert many times. I met Michael at a friends house in 1980.

Great job. This one of my favorite Glad songs and influenced the style of groups I was in.

Love your rendition of this song and your relationship with your dog buddy. A man's relationship with his dog often tells me much about the character of the man himself.
