  • So beautiful!

  • What a great song!

  • absolutely perfect

  • I agree, The Carter Family have always been one of my all time favorite country groups. It's a shame that they don't get more recognition today. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great night, Brian

  • @BBYMRLCCOTN It can't get much better this side of Heaven.

  • pure Americana!

    what has happened to music today!

  • Isn't that the truth! I'm glad that you enjoyed this song, and thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, Brian

  • They just don't make 'em like this anymore...which is our loss.

  • It's rare to hear Maybelle sing harmonies below Sara. Usually she sings above Sara (in terms of pitch).

  • Mega thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Jesus is Lord..

  • I used 2 sing this at church when I was a kid

  • another great version is Carter and Ralph Stanley's ...I have it on cassette in my truck and often play it while on long trips.....hard to beat Maybelle's playing though.

  • Thank you! I'm glad you like it. The Stanley Brothers were quite talented as well. Thank you for stopping by, and be sure to check out the other videos on my channel. I have posted over 850 old time recordings from the 20's and 30's. Have a great night, Brian

  • Hi Brian. This is a superb post, mate. Just wonderful to hear the Carters' version of this treasure of a song. Can I also suggest, for your listening pleasure + your channel fans : get hold of Rounder Records first-ever LP release, 1970 .. Rounder 0001 .. Artist : George Pegram, then 59 y.o. .. a genuine old-timey banjer player & vocalist. His version of "Never Grow Old" on that LP is my all-time fave of all. That GP performance will end up being the eventual song for my wake.

  • First heard this from kentucky musician Alfred Karnes. Love this Carter Family version.

  • I'm glad you like it. I am familiar with Karnes. I have posted some of his songs. I agree that the Carter Family is hard to beat. They had a such a beautiful way of singing and playing all their songs. Thanks for watching and thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my other videos. I have over 600 old time recordings like this one posted. Have a great day, Brian

  • Thanks for posting this! Did not know that the Carter Family recorded this song. One of my favorites!

  • You are totally welcome! For a different, but still good version, check out Internet Archive. Look up Smith's Sacred Singers and you should find this song. You can download the mp3, like I say, it's different, but it's still good. Hope you have a good day, Brian

  • Old hymns are my favorites ,all you can post is ok with me.

  • Cool! I have a fair number of recordings, so I will be posting them when I can. Stay tuned and thanks so much for watching, Brian

  • These timeless classics will never fade. Simple words,lovely harmony I'll never get tired of listening to these old-time treasures. Many thanks for this posting from an old school Country Church goin' Baptist.

  • I agree, the old hymns have such amazing words that you rarely find in modern church music. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out my other videos. Have a great day, Brian

  • You bet! If I was to put up any more Carter Family hymns/spirituals, would you have any requsests?

  • lovely hymn,tks.

  • You're entirely welcome, they just don't have the same sound/words to the modern worship songs. These are real treasures!
