Christian Camp Songs & Chorus Hymns #28
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!
Today's featured song is "Our God Reigns" - Leonard Smith had a very interesting past. He was 12 years old when his parents divorced and after that Mr. Smith found refuge in the Catholic church. He later went to seminary. He taught at many high schools but was fired because the schools claimed that he was too out spoken about Jesus. He was forced to find work as a carpenter and it was through these difficult times that he began writing and when he wrote this beautiful hymn.
"Therefore my people will know my name;
therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
Yes, it is I.”
How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”."
Isaiah 52:6&7
