Christian Camp Songs & Chorus Hymns
I spent many years in my late teens and early twenties working at Christian Camps. I even met my husband at a Christian camp. These wonderful memories of great experiences make Christian camp songs very special to me.
On top of featuring an old hymn each month in what I call "Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing" - I will also be featuring a chorus hymn every month - ENJOY!
There is a little bit of confusion or discrepancy with this featured hymn today in regards to the author/composer. In my little chorus book it shows "Donald P. Hustad" as the author. HOWEVER, everything online shows that it was written & composed by James H. Fillmore. So, take your pick on the author - either "Hope Publishing Company" made a horrible mistake or everyone online is just wrong ;-).
"I will sing of the Lord's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations"
Psalm 89:1

"I will sing of the Lord's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations"
Psalm 89:1
Please take time to listen to both YouTube videos below the lyrics . The first version is sung by a Filipino priest so there is a little bit of an accent heard. The second version I included because it made me laugh. It is sung by preschoolers and they are so very cute. Look at one particular boy - about half way through I think he gave up on the sign language and just began imitating an elephant or maybe he just simply enjoyed the sound of his voice with his nose plugged (hahaha).
I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord
I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord
by Donald P. Hustad OR James H. Fillmore (see above)
1. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing. I will sing. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. With my mouth_ will I make known Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness, With my mouth_ will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.
