  • This song is a treasure. I love the simplicity and "old timey" feeling that seems to attract the listener. It is also the one song my singers - back in 1993- blew out of the water, which included Charity, Marquetta, Jorel, Takela, Renata, Tara, and the lead...Tessa Baker! Thank you, Edwin, for your magnificent rearranging skills...and PurpleSnowman29 for posting.

  • we used to march in on this song our leads sisters joan and judy cuff hearing it makes me start marching

  • there is so much pain and rejoicing in the voices of this group. God bless every Christian He has brought to the cross and made His own. Praise God, break my heart again for Your glory and Amen!

  • bravi.......ok

  • Oh my GOODNESS!!!! (tears flowing from eyes)

    I haven't heard this song in about 15 years!!! The Old Union Gospel Choir in my hometown used to sing this song and then shout down the church afterwards! The ushers would be shouting too! GLORY!!! HALLELUJAH!!! MY LORD MY LORD!!!

  • I've always loved this version of this old hymn. This goes back to 1969 or so.

  • man i feel the Holy presence of Jesus when i hear this!im in tears now i can't heardly type!..Glory to Jesus!!!

  • Jesus!

  • gosh i would love to hear this song to the very end.

  • Yes Sah!!! This was the song back in the day:)LOL!!! My Lord!

  • Another great victory song! The only way "out" is "through!"

  • Love it.

  • I used to have the same CD.

  • Wow - shades of the Early Aretha Franklin Southern Baptist stuff!

  • Good post Purplesnowman (as always)

  • my church use to sing this

  • this is the same song on the show but a different version the version that is played on the show is a live version

  • The soloist on this is Margarette Branch. The original album was Pavilion No. 10001, when the group was at its very largest (at least 60 members) and hadn't started dwindling yet, as they seemed to continuously do in early 70s TV appearances.

  • In wasn't the Hawkins Singers version, but it was so very close - Homicide Life On The Street once used this song to cap an episode. Whatever choir did do it on the show approximated this performance splendidly and I was jumping up and down screaming to suddenly be encountering it. My first copy of this album I played till the spindle hole was worn white. I want this whole album played at my funeral when the time comes. That's going in my will.

  • This piece was played in Homicide LOTS Season 4, the episode titled "For God and country". The song credits on the DVD indicate Edwin Hawkins Singers. If this is not accurate, please let me know. Thanks

  • i am going in at 2:08 am. now this is saaaaanging!!!

  • Yeah, you right hudson, i remember a lot of church choirs singing this song back in the days. This song was taken from the national baptist hymnal.  I love this song too.

  • YES! its in my new national baptist hymnal!

  • This song didn't get much recognition like Oh Happy Day, but this is one of my best songs of the Hawkins family. Sing yall!!!
