"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God...."

An integral part of our worship service is the song service.  Our worship services are begun by congregational singing unaccompanied by musical instruments.  Praise is heard in the voices of the youngest to the oldest as we lift up our voices in song, making melody in our heart to the Lord (Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16). 

We have included here some hymns of praise and thanksgiving.  These hymns are in Real Media format and will require RealOne Player.  Click on the image below if you need to download RealOne Player -- its FREE!

The following hymns are taken from the CD Triumphal Feast, as recorded by The Harmony Plains Singers, and are used by permission.  The CD can be obtained from Harmony Plains.  Triumphal Feast was recorded using music from the soon to be released song book The Primitive Baptist Hymnal.  The PBH, first published in 1963, is currently under revision led by Sister Helen Beauchamp and Elder Bryce Lowrance.

Extensive research will soon produce a revision of this much-loved hymnal with an abundance of treasured old songs and melodies.  Every effort has been made to preserve the original words of the poet and to include all the words in the songs.  The older style harmonies of the Appalachian melodies has also been preserved.

The Primitive Baptist Hymnal, 4th Edition will include over 600 hymns spanning over 700 years of music composition.  The hymnal has been completely updated with new note-setting for every hymn with larger, more easy to read fonts and music.  The hymnal has also been categorized for mood and subject.  A scripture reference index, exclusive to the Primitive Baptist Hymnal, will also be a great help in selecting songs suited to your worship service.

The following hymns and songs are used by permission of the Kyle Family of Dripping Springs, Texas.  Many thanks to Frances Ann, Bodie, Mary Margaret, David and Terry  for allowing us to enjoy their recordings of these songs.
