Praise & Harmony Singers Perform A Cappella Rendition of 'Hide Me, Rock Of Ages'

Sixteen singers came together to perform the hymn ‘Hide Me, Rock Of Ages’ a cappella.

This event was part of a project by Praise & Harmony, a ministry involving Keith Lancaster, Sharon Lancaster, and Acapella Ministries. The singers, each with their own style, brought life and joy to the performance.

The hymn has a unique history. Brantley C. George, a farmer and gospel songwriter, composed it in 1946. Interestingly, he first wrote it on a brown paper sack. Despite its popularity and being featured in 17 hymnals, George only received $25 for the rights.

The hymn’s lyrics offer comfort and speak of finding protection in faith. One of the lines goes:

Hide me oh blessed rock of ages (blessed rock of ages hide me)
‘Til Thy blessed face I see (Thy face I see in glory)
When the storm around me rages (round me rages, blessed)
Rock of ages hide Thou me

In the storms of life, let us find our shelter in God, our steadfast Rock of Ages. Trust in His unyielding protection and guidance, knowing that in Him, we are always safe.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
