I had never heard of this song before. What a rich history, timely still for today. Good to hear Committed singing it. I remember them from the second season of The Sing-Off.
Yes–The Sing-Off! I was trying to think of the name of that show. 🙂 I really enjoyed it so much. I wish it were still on. And I definitely enjoyed Committed when they were on it too. I wasn’t familiar with this hymn either; glad I know it now.
Definitely needed this hymn now! Thanks for sharing the story and all the links.
You’re welcome, Bev!
