Sing Fountain

Ben loves to sing. Today he was sitting in the rocking chair with a hymnal singing. I grabbed my camera and videoed him. Although he's holding the Heavenly Highway Hymnal (a favorite at Ebenezer Baptist Church) you can tell by his song choices that he's presbyterian: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, the Doxology, and Holy, Holy, Holy.



Here are the lyrics in case you can't quite understand:

Come, Thou Fount (fountain) of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Ben starts the Doxology in the middle with "creatures." And just skips to the "Amen" without singing the last line.

Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'n-ly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy!

Aubrey was singing along with him. Of coarse her words aren't as clear. More of a humming sound.

Totally loved this! He just soaks it all in, doesn't he! I showed Mom and Dad - had to brag on him!
