  • Has the Christian church always used this form of singing?

  • this moves my soul.

  • 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!
