My husband loves hymns!

Psalm 95: Let Us Sing Songs of Praise

My dear husband has too many attributes to list, but alas, he does not sing well. He sings loudly, joyfully, but not necessarily in tune. He loves hymns. As a boy he went to the boys Episcopal school associated with the National Cathedral in Washington DC. He went to chapel daily and knows lots of hymns.

When George HW Bush died, we went to his funeral at that Cathedral. Brit sang out the old familiar hymns. A man in front of him kept turning around to look at him. Finally, he said "you should sing very softly." My husband's reaction is an example of what I love most about him. He said "I'm making a joyful noise." He was.

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth;

the heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,

and his hands formed the dry land.

Psalm 95:1-5 ESV
