Barbershop Quartet Sings Powerful Rendition of ‘Ride the Chariot’

A group of men sing a moving a cappella rendition of ‘Ride the Chariot.’

Barbershop Quartet

‘Ride the Chariot’ is a traditional African-American spiritual that has encouraged people for more than a century. It first became known in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

We don’t know who first wrote this uplifting song, but its message of hope and the promise of heaven still touches hearts today.

Barbershop is a style of a cappella singing where four singers each take a different part. When they blend their voices together, they create powerful harmonies that make the song come alive.

Over the years, many groups have sung different versions of ‘Ride the Chariot.’ The song reminds us of eternal life and the faithfulness of God.

When this group of men performed it, they brought that joyful message straight into our hearts.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.””
