Has the Christian church always used this form of singing?

Sacred Harp 428, 'World Unknown.' What a powerful song! And I love the look of it, the bright stained glass window and the dimmer area where the singing takes place. The sound is great too. Thanks (again) for posting.

Thank you for this video. I have not heard this music since a small boy. My father took us to the Tew Family Reunion at Newteamon Baptist Church near Slocomb Al. when I was 13...my Grandfather sang this.

I was at this convention. I was on the front row of the alto singers... I have been to singings my whole life, but this singing was unbelievable. Honestly, you had to be there to believe it. The acoustics were awesome.

Awesome! I see the ratings option is disabled, but I give this five stars. Thanks for posting!
