ON A SIDE NOTE, I am looking for recordings of the 1928, 1944, 1950, and 1905 songbooks/hymnals. If you know missing dates, I'd love to see them! Funny how a lot of these carryovers were grouped together originally.Ĭorrect me on any wrong dates, please. 1928, 335.ġ13, "Our Possession of Peace" by Mary c. You'll have to listen to the 19 versions to hear the huge difference. It suffered at the hands of modernization in 2009, losing its entire chorus, perhaps for the fact that the timing was weird and difficult to keep up with, if you weren't careful. 1928, 68.ġ10, "The Joy Of Jehovah" by author unknown? Obviously, this song used to be "I am Jehovah!" which I still play on the piano. Click the Shuffle checkbox to play all the songs in random order. Playback stops when all the songs have been played. Click the Play Continuously checkbox to play all the songs in the album. On this page you can find the songs you want to view or listen to. This is the oldest song in our book to date, that I'm aware of anyway. Click the songbook or music album title to go to the Sing Out Joyfully to Jehovah page. The timing is 4/4, and the modern lyrics of "We Are Jehovah's Army!" still match up to the tune of "Forward! Be Our Watchword."Ĩ2, "Let Your Light Shine" by Mary C. Barnes was written for use in the Episcopalian church correct me if I'm wrong. The tune of the original song has roots going back to the 1700's. You can look up the original recording on YouTube by Andrew Remillard. Like many other hymns used by the Bible students, the original lyrics were used for a time, with slight changes made for doctrinal conformity.
The original tune, however, was shed entirely in favor of the exact one we know today. An interesting note about this song, the title was "Forward! Be Our Watchword" and the original lyrics were from 1871 by Henry Alford, and F. 1928, 333.ġ4, "Praising Earth's New King," by Harriet c. Sing Out Joyfully to Jehovah: 4, 14, 31, 71, 82, 110, 113, 146.Ĥ, Jehovah Is My Shepherd, by Harriet c.
In this post, I am referring entirely to songs with the direct tune or lyrics of their original composition, the oldest of which are only found in the 1928 songbook. Of course, some of our songs have roots going back centuries, such as #277 in the 1905 edition "Hymns of Millennial Dawn," "All To Thee," which can be directly paralleled with current song #50, My Prayer of Dedication. That is the oldest they go, in current form. "Sing Out Joyfully To Jehovah" has 8 songs carried over from the 1928 "Songs of Praise to Jehovah" book.
