Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing #134


Welcome to the 134th Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing!

I miss the old hymns that I remember from my childhood - there were no drums, no electric guitar and no mind numbing beat. It was just voices and maybe a piano or an organ. The choir led the congregation in singing - and the words of these hymns are poetic. I realize that there is a need for the modern "seeker oriented" worship music - but it is also necessary to have deeper songs (no offense intended to anyone who prefers the newer church songs).

I decided to have an "Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing" once a month on this blog.
I personally do NOT have a great singing voice - I used to play the guitar & piano but my voice is NOT an instrument. That's the great thing about this digital hymn sing, you can warble along without being embarrassed or without offending anyone else.

The hymns that we will be studying are taken from an old hymnal from a Baptist church that is no longer in existence - "The North American Hymnal" published in 1956 by "THE ROGER WILLIAMS PRESS"

I will also try to find a version of the featured hymn on "YouTube" to share with you each month.


Today's featured hymn is "Saved by Grace" written by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1914).  The author of this hymn is probably one of the most well known hymn writers - she wrote about 8,000 poems total (many of which were set to music).  When she was only 6 weeks old she became blind but this was her attitude about her situation:

"She says that had it not been for her affliction she might not have so good an education, nor so great an influence, and certainly not so fine a memory. She knows a great many portions of the Bible by heart, and had committed to memory the first four books of the Old Testament, and also the four Gospels before she was ten years of age."





I have included 2 videos below the lyrics.
Enjoy!

Turn with me to number 532 in your hymnals and let's sing:


Saved by Grace
written by Fanny J. Crosby(1820-1915) composed by George C. Stebbins (1846-1945)

1. Someday the silver cord will break, And I no more as now shall sing;  But oh, the joy when I shall wake Within the palace of the King!.

CHORUS

2.  Someday my earthly house will fall, I cannot tell how soon t'will be;  But this I know.....my All in All Has now a place in heaven for me.

CHORUS

3.   Someday when fades the golden sun Beneath the rosy-tinted west.  My blessed Lord will say, "Well done!"   And I shall enter into rest.

 CHORUS

4.   Someday till then I'll watch and wait, My lamp all trimmed and burning bright, That when my Savior opes the gate, My soul to Him may take it's flight.

 CHORUS




Chorus

And I shall see        Him face to face,        And tell the story Saved by grace,
               shall see                      to face.                                             


And I shall see        Him face to face,        And tell the story Saved by grace,
                                             shall see                      to face. 





A special thanks to "Fountainview Academy" for sharing this with us!

Tiramisu Made With Zwieback RECIPE

unnamed (28)

Tiramisu Made With Zwieback RECIPE

Tiramisu is traditionally made with ladyfingers.  Ladyfingers are spongy cake-like cookies that are supposed to soak up the coffee in the Italian dessert Tiramisu.  However, I have often found ladyfingers to be so soaked with the coffee that they break down and the coffee pools or makes a puddle under the dessert.

Recently Zwieback was on super sale at my local grocery store so I bought a few boxes.  When I was a child my mom always used to give me Zwieback with chamomile tea when I was recovering from the flu.  I had never dunked these "twice baked" (that's literally what "Zwieback" means) treats in coffee before, so I decided to try that with these sale Zwiebacks - it's delicious!  That's when I decided to use them for Tiramisu instead of ladyfingers. 




Ingredients:
1 sleeve of Zwieback (each package contains 2 sleeves)
2/3 cup very strong coffee (cooled)
Kahlua coffee liqueur  OR rum extract
1 small container of ricotta cheese (15oz) (the true Tiramisu uses mascarpone cheese but it's too expensive for me)
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (measure before whipping)
Powdered sugar for sweetening cheese & cream
almond extract
unsweetened cocoa powder (for sprinkling on top)
natural cane sugar (or granulated sugar)





Begin with a square Pyrex dish and arrange one sleeve of dry Zwieback toasts - you might have to break a few to fit (as seen in the picture on the right below).

Take your cooled coffee and stir in a tablespoon or two of Kahlua (OR a teaspoon of rum extract).  Then gently pour the coffee mixture evenly over all the Zwieback (see both pictures below).   

unnamed (33)unnamed (36)

Wait about 5 minutes for the Zwieback to totally soak up the coffee (see picture below on the left).  Then evenly sprinkle natural cane sugar on top of the soaked Zwieback (right picture below) 

unnamed (37)unnamed (38)

In a mixing bow - with a heavy whisk or an electric mixer blend the ricotta cheese, almond extract (I used very concentrated almond extract that only requires a few drops - if you are using regular liquid almond extract then I would use up to 1/2 teaspoon) with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar (if you like it sweeter than you can put 1/3 cup of sugar - no more than 1/3 cup though).  Whisk until fully combined (see third picture below)

In a separate mixing bowl and with an electric mixer- whip the heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar (see pictures below). 

unnamed (42)unnamed (44)

Gently fold the ricotta cheese mixture in with the whipped cream until fully combined (see second picture below but do NOT over mix).

Gently spread over the coffee soaked Zwieback

Sprinkle unsweetened cocoa on top of the ricotta/cream mixture

Cover & cool in fridge for 2 hours.  Slice & ENJOY!
