He loved me ere I knew him. What a wonderful saviour is God's son who I love.

An amazing sight! One of my favorite hymns!

This is what I miss soo much..bring it back!!!!!!!!What a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! This is what congregational singing is all about. Great song and great singing! Praise God!

I love all hymns. Victory in Jesus is one of them.

It's not about judging people, it's about showing respect to the Lord and his house.

God give me spirit to worship you in true and spirit

This is nothing but beautiful I love every minute of it ❤️ it thx

This is exactly the 30th hymn that I will have committed to memory over the last five years or so. Thanks for a sample here to follow. Thanks from Texas.

Wonderful singing and accompaniment!!

Praise the Lord......

This hymn brings me back to the "good old days," which I would just as soon forget!! (,kidding) I really like these, but I don't know why (all of a sudden) I am craving old hymns like a starving man? All I know is that when I'm listening to these old hymns, the peace of God hits me like a truck!!

The Lord ministers through this music, because it has doctrinal truth and does not have the sound and beat of the world! Keep feeding yourself with the old hymns and most importantly, the Word of God!

Amazing 👏, Cleveland Baptist, my church.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7

Victory in Jesus!!

Great song

If you can come up with a negative comment about people worshipping God you might want to go read some more. I suggest re-visiting 1&2 Corinthians read it thoroughly. I love this song especially with the church piano, most important part Victory in Jesus

Dave Hower, new at the Cleveland Baptist Church, looks up and sings with tremendous joy, right down in front! And where does this joy come from? You great members of the congregation who I hope to meet soon. Your church gives me so much joy and peace it's enough to last throughout the week! Amen and Amen.

+Michael Cowan Well Michael, you're ten years too late for that wish- we started livestreaming our services on February 15th, 2006, and still do to this day! Visit www.clevelandbaptist.org and hover over the 'Media' tab and click on 'Live Streaming Services' and you'll be good to go! We livestream on Sunday mornings at 11 am, Sunday evenings at 6 pm, and Wednesday evenings at 7 pm. All times are Eastern. Hope it's a blessing to you! :)

Very few church choirs sing this song in the correct time. And yet again, here's another... 'Save a Wretch' is written with a dotted 8th, a 16th and a half note.

You're absolutely correct! One day while I was looking through the hymnbook, I realized that I've never heard this hymn sung the way it's written. I've asked a few songleaders why we do it this way, and they didn't know why. I wonder who started it and why very few people seem to care that it's wrong.

i dont care how any church choir or any one person plays or sings this song or any song as long as it touches their spirit and heart giving them what they need or what they search for while bringing them closer to God and Jesus. thank you God for sending your son. Thank you Jesus for dying on cross for sins so that may have eternal life....

Where is this Church? They sing hymns the way they are supposed to be sung! Maybe they could work on the smiles a bit, but hey, they know how to sing! I love the singing!

This is the Cleveland Baptist Church, located in Brooklyn, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland). I agree, I wish more people had the joy of the Lord on their countenances when they sing, but we still sing all the old hymns in our services! :)

Thanks for the info, stllamazed27! I am also a Baptist, and I have been a music leader in several churches. So I know "how it is" in most Baptist churches. I think many people are just concentrating on their singing, and they are not "singing to an audience or to a camera", etc. And most have no idea what they look like when they are singing. I have tried hard to change that part of the "Baptist culture" whenever I am behind the pulpit. But alas! I think it is mostly a lost cause! ha! ha! But I think the actual singing is the most important part, so when people are "singing out",. I can much more easily overlook the somber countenances part.

Why can't Baptists smile when they sing? I've lead the singing in my church for 10 years and it looks just like this. Everyone is sing about victory looking down at the ground...I don't get it

+Matthew Moore I share your frustration, Matthew. I'm in the choir and I look out on the congregation during the singing, and it is often very disheartening to see this sort of thing. Whatever happened to the joy of the Lord being our strength (Nehemiah 8:10)?

Maybe they don't feel the victory. I played the piano in my church and tried to play it in way to it have the spirit in and finally would get a break through on it. It was like they understand about the song they were singing and it was like they didn't feel anything. Some people just doesn't have joy they need.

Footnote - For the record - I know loads of Baptists who sing with both vocal strength and joy!

The song leader doesn't know the words to this song - he keeps looking at the hymnbook. Every song leader worth his salt should know this song!

+J. Brian McKillop I would agree with you- partially. First off, I know the man leading the song, and I would guarantee he has the hymn memorized- or at least a good portion of it. I know personally that I love memorizing hymns and have most of the ones we sing in our church memorized; however, I still use a hymnbook and look at the notes as I sing. I find with familiar songs that we can sometimes get into ruts and start singing a song incorrectly, and looking at it anew and afresh can help. I think also that when leading songs in front of 500 people like we have at our church, it might be easier looking at the hymnal than out at all the faces in front of you, lol. :) Also, this songleader is not our regular- he was just filling in briefly at this time. :)

That's Doug Schweitzer, a faithful layman in the church who on rare occasion fills in to lead a congregational song or two.
