BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON ORIGINAL (Coming King Celtic) "Living in the Glory"

Описание: The 1897 edition of “Hymns of the Christian Life” includes a Preface that begins with the following words: “The musical taste of our day is in a state of transition… the people WILL have new tunes and hymns that move in a more spirited time than those which our fathers sang.”

These observations were true then and remain relevant today. The hymns of A. B. Simpson have been bringing the message of Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King into the pews of Alliance churches for well over 130 years. Among the most enduring of hymnals is the 1936 edition, commonly referred to as “The Blue Hymnal,” which many Alliance churches used well into the 1970s.

However, with the rising use of audio-visual technology in most Alliance churches, the hymnal has nearly disappeared, seemingly taking Simpson's hymns along with it. The BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON series represents an effort to faithfully place Simpson’s lyrics into the “new tunes” of our day, allowing the heart and passion of Simpson to be expressed through music once again.

Glory to His Name!

LIVING IN THE GLORY

I have found a heaven below,
I am living in the glory;
Oh the joy and strength I know,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Yes, I’m living in the glory,
As He promised in His word;
I am dwelling in the heavenlies,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Storms of sorrow ‘round me fall,
But I’m living in the glory;
I can sing above them all,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Yes, I’m living in the glory,
As He promised in His word;
I am dwelling in the heavenlies,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Satan cannot touch my heart
While I’m living in the glory;
This disarms each fiery dart,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Yes, I’m living in the glory,
As He promised in His word;
I am dwelling in the heavenlies,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

I can triumph over pain
While I’m living in the glory;
I can count each loss a gain,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Yes, I’m living in the glory,
As He promised in His word;
I am dwelling in the heavenlies,
Living in the glory of the Lord.

Soon the King will come for me,
To be with Him in the glory;
Then my sweeter song shall be
Reigning in the glory of the Lord.

Yes, I’m living in the glory,
As He promised in His word;
I am dwelling in the heavenlies,
Living in the glory of the Lord.
