Hymns

The incredibly talented James Kilbane, an Irish country and gospel singer, captivates with his stunning cover of the beloved Christmas tune “O Holy Night.”

Christmas is a beautiful time. Most would agree that it is the best period of the entire year. Friends and family members get together and typically enjoy a delicious, delectable meal and even exchange a few gifts while celebrating Jesus Christ's birth. What could be better than that?

In addition to the many parties, dinners and gifts, the Christmas season has plenty of songs themed around the time of year. Hundreds, likely thousands, of versions of the most beloved Christmas tunes exist. Of course, you can likely name a handful of Christmas songs right off the top of your head. “Away in a Manger," "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night" are just a few of them.

Another Christmastime favorite, rightfully heard year after year, is “O Holy Night.” In the above clip, James covers the beloved hymn, which celebrates and retells the events on the night that Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, entered the world. Most are incredibly familiar with that specific hymn, but that familiarity does not lessen the lyrics' meaning and impact.

“O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

“Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth”

James’s vocal performance is dazzling and awe-inspiring as he displays his immense God-given musical talents with the Christmas cover. At different points throughout the clip, if one were not watching the video and simply listening to it, one might believe they were listening to Elvis Presley’s version of “O Holy Night.” There are some definite similarities between Presley’s and James’s voice.

Isaiah 9:6 “For to unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

One man used his powerful voice to belt out an awe-inspiring hymn. James Kilbane captivates with a soul-stirring ‘Amazing Grace’ performance you don’t want to miss. 

Hymns like ‘Amazing Grace’ are the anthem for Christians. They are our beautiful reminder of what Christ did on the cross for us. They reveal the depth of our need for God and remind us of the depth of God’s unwavering love for wretched sinners like ourselves. 

Hymns like 'Amazing Grace' have been a cherished part of the worship tradition in churches for centuries. Some songs like ‘Amazing Grace’ have been timeless songs filled with Biblical truths that apply to our lives today. They usher us into moments of deep gratitude as we worship. 

‘Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.’

What makes ‘Amazing Grace’ so special is its powerful message of redemption. Written by John Newton in 1772, its words are nestled in our hearts as we lift up our voices in gratitude all these centuries later. What I love about this version is how James Kilbane captures the true meaning of the song. His rich voice captures the depth of the song in unimaginable ways. 

His rendition of the beloved song is nothing but soul-stirring. As he sings, the lyrics become more than a song and sound more like a personal story, a story we can all relate to. What I love most about this performance is how there are no backgrounds, no music, or artistic props. It’s just James, his voice, and his love for Christ. This music video captures your attention and warms your heart. 

We hope you take a moment to let this beautiful version of ‘Amazing Grace’ wash over you in peace as it stirs gratitude in your heart. May it resonate in your heart and bless your day. 

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

Wayfaring Stranger - James Kilbane is a country gospel, gospel singer from Ireland. Direct Link: https://jameskilbane.hearnow.com/wayf... James Kilbane has released an exciting new version of a classic traditional country song. Straight singing and talking James Kilbane has never been afraid to record a wide range of songs over his career. His latest single is the classic 19th century country song, Wayfaring Stranger. This is just another in his line of many country songs that he has recorded. Wayfaring Stranger is a song of family, life struggles in this world and a future hope for all. Kilbane is a country singer for sure. One can even say that he is unique to Ireland, one of the best country singers from Ireland’s shores and yet he is outside of the fold of his native country music industry. His gospel, Christian, praise and worship, folk and Irish recordings are always well received with his public since he started recording in 2004 and now he adds listeners all around the world. Wayfaring Stranger captures so much of true outlaw and traditional country with influences of Cash, Jennings, Kristofferson and Nelson. This song has a rugged sound that suits Kilbane. He is happy to perform outlaw country a style that many other Irish acts would not touch. Kilbane’s sound in Wayfaring Stranger is edgy and naturally Kilbane is a singer who is always true to his craft and belief. As country legend George Hamilton IV described Kilbane, ‘He is the Lone Ranger of country music’. James Kilbane’s, Wayfaring Stranger is on release to radio and all streaming platforms from Tuesday 14th March 2023.

Never Grow Old by Irish gospel singer James Kilbane. Stream from https://symphony.to/james-kilbane/never-grow-old #gospelmusic #countrymusic #christianity #christianmusic

The soul-stirring a cappella version of “Beautiful Savior” by the incredibly talented Chris Rupp is a must-listen.

Everyone loves music, at least some form of it. With all the genres, styles and types of music, there is bound to be something for every taste and preference. An individual who doesn’t like music would have to be someone who doesn’t like sound, right? Not liking music would be similar to not enjoying food.

As there are many different kinds and genres of music, there are about as many instruments used to make those sounds. Guitars, drums, the piano, the xylophone and the bassoon are just a few of the hundreds or even thousands of instruments that exist.

However, as great as those instruments may be, the first one, the one created by God Himself, is often the most beautiful: the human voice. Not much compares to hearing an extremely talented vocalist sing a lovely tune. 

In the clip above, Chris uses his God-given talent to perform a lovely version of the beloved hymn “Beautiful Savior.” You’ll likely return to this video repeatedly to hear Chris’s stunning vocal performance.

As the song’s title indicates, it’s a tune about the wonderful, mighty, and faithful God we serve. The lyrics are beautifully and poetically written.

“Beautiful Savior, King of creation

Son of God and Son of Man

Truly I’d love Thee, truly I’d serve Thee

Light of my soul, my Joy, my Crown”

In addition to Chris’s performance and the beautifully written lyrics, the video is also masterfully shot. The four-and-a-half-minute clip incorporates a variety of shots and camera angles, and different colors and hues. The camera also manages to capture some truly stunning and awe-inspiring landscapes.

This video is pleasing both to the ear and the eye.

Acts 4:12 “And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.”

This is a song that I sang and composed inspired by how Jesus enabled us to do something we couldn't. A song that will remind us to share our testimonies for God's Glory! Please check out our website at www.patotoo.online

Enjoy Pentatonix’s breathtaking rendition of ‘Hallelujah.’ Known for their jaw-dropping harmonies and unique arrangements, they once again left their fans in absolute awe with their stunning rendition of Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah.’ The group, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee, took on the iconic song with their signature style of a cappella, breathing new life into a classic.

The unique tune sounds like a beautiful blond of a rock ballad and a gospel song that hits home in our hearts.

‘Well it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah’

In this incredible music video, they’re performing a live rendition of the iconic tune, ‘Hallelujah.’ Just listen as they belt out these words in perfect harmony.

This performance showcases their amazing talent and ability to take a well-known song and make it entirely their own. It’s no wonder so many people love their songs. Their simple yet complex performance with just five voices creates music that is truly breathtaking. 

It’s always amazing to hear the one-of-a-kind arrangements from Pentatonix. Knowing that every sound is produced purely by their voices makes it even more impressive. They rose to fame in 2011 after winning in the third season of the show ‘The Sing Off’ and gained fans with viral performances like ‘The Sound of Silence’ and ‘Mary Did You Know.’ Everyone’s all time favorite is ‘Little Drummer Boy.’

Again and again, they outdo themselves, making each performance a memorable experience. Which of their cover songs is your favorite?

Colossians 3:16  "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."

Get ready for some good ole bluegrass talent. Check out this fantastic bluegrass cover of ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder.’

Whether you are a bluegrass fan or not, this video will entertain and amaze you. We see a group of six adults and teenagers sitting outside under the outdoor lights at dusk. Amo Raber’s band begins to play the introduction, making you want to dance. The banjo and the fiddle especially shine. Then, as Amos begins to sing and the harmonies join in, the song is stunning. They are all so talented. What is even more amazing is watching how they glorify God with their voices and instruments.

‘When the Roll is Called up Yonder’ is a famous hymn. The chorus sings:

‘When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.’

This is such a simple yet profound message that those who have accepted Jesus are secure eternally in heaven. Faith in Him leads to eternal life, yet how could we, as sinners, be forgiven and brought into God’s family? Listening to this song reminds us of the hope that we, as believers, have in Jesus. 

The upbeat music gives us joy and celebration that we are His. It causes us to want to clap, dance, or stomp our feet. Watching these young instrumentalists is incredible. They are skilled musicians. Amos’ voice is professional and radio level. This group not only is talented, but they all appear to have genuine happiness while performing together. They are worshiping God and thanking Him for eternal life through song. We too can join in. This video will no doubt bring a smile to your face.  

“Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20
