Following up on a promise made early last year, Sarah’s turning to the end of her Lutheran Service Book to sing — and get a lot better acquainted with — all eight “Close of Service” hymns in this all-new Hymn Sing episode.
Hymns featured include “Go, My Children, with My Blessing” (LSB 922), Lord, Dismiss Us with Your Blessing (LSB 924), “Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name We Raise” (LSB 917), “Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer” (LSB 918), and “Abide, O Dearest Jesus” (LSB 919).
Get to know the stories behind the hymns you love as you sing along with resident #hymnnerd Sarah. And, stay tuned to the very end for a very special treat from Lutheran Lady Erin Bode and the Themba Girls.
As always, to learn more about these and other hymns in Lutheran Service Book, check out Lutheran Service Book: Companion to the Hymns, available from CPH.
