When choosing the songs for this second volume, I was delighted to discover how these hymns weave together to reflect aspects of the character of the Lord.
His deity is found in the opening “Praise Medley,” His personal relationship with believers in the “Time Medley,” “In the Garden,” and “O To Be Like Thee.” The “Camp Meeting Medley” finds Christ in the Old Testament settings of the Pentateuch. The “Cross” and “Resurrection” Medleys proclaim the redeeming work of the Messiah. The hymns that follow represent the coming of Christ as King, His wonderful love and grace, and the overwhelming thought that all who come to Jesus can belong to Him. Notice how many times the phrases in these wonderful hymns include the words “blessed” and “redeem” together. This musical presentation is intended to bring listeners to a closer relationship with the Lord as they sing these precious truths and meditate upon them. What a privilege it is for me to serve My Blessed Redeemer.
