Crown Him with Many Crowns
from Westminster Abbey
At The Name of Jesus, Every Knee Shall Bow
The words are by Caroline Maria Noel. The triumphant tune comes from Ralph Vaughan Williams. This is a hymn based on a hymn. The inspiration is the passage from Philippians 2:5-11, thought to be and early Christian hymn.

Our National Anthem by an inspiring virtual Youth Choir
While this opened the Democratic Convention, the national anthem belongs to us all. This virtual youth choir is deeply inspiring.
The song "You'll Be Back" with new words
The Rev. Lonnie Lacy, rector of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Tifton, Georgia, had been looking forward to seeing “Hamilton” in Atlanta. But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the performance was postponed. So when a recording of the Broadway musical started streaming on Disney+ earlier this month, the family watched it together. When King George III started singing “You’ll Be Back” in his flowing robes, Lacy got an idea. He decided to rewrite the song to remind his parishioners that their church will be waiting for them when the pandemic ends.

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
