Clearly Filtered started in 2011 with the belief that water shouldn’t contain harmful chemicals, toxic heavy metals or any other form of contamination. This philosophy has led to the development of one of the most advanced filtration technologies in the world. We are on a mission to provide people with the tools to take control of their water and live healthier lives. It’s a lot easier to remove contaminants from the water you drink than to remove disease once it has entered the body. That is why we are so passionate about filtration and clean water because we know how important it is for our health and well-being.

Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing #81

Welcome to the 81st Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing!

I miss the old hymns that I remember from my childhood - there were no drums, no electric guitar and no mind numbing beat. It was just voices and maybe a piano or an organ. The choir led the congregation in singing - and the words of these hymns are poetic. I realize that there is a need for the modern "seeker oriented" worship music - but it is also necessary to have deeper songs (no offense intended to anyone who prefers the newer church songs).

I decided to have an "Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing" once a month on this blog.

I personally do NOT have a great singing voice - I used to play the guitar & piano but my voice is NOT an instrument. That's the great thing about this digital hymn sing, you can warble along without being embarrassed or without offending anyone else.

The hymns that we will be studying are taken from an old hymnal from a Baptist church that is no longer in existence - "The North American Hymnal" published in 1956 by "THE ROGER WILLIAMS PRESS"

I will also try to find a version of the featured hymn on "YouTube" to share with you each month.

Today's featured hymn is "Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Troubled" written by St Stephen of Mar Sabas (Greek) translated by John M. Neal (1818-1866) composed by Henry W. Baker (1821-1877).    
There was no historical information about St. Stephen of Mar Sabas but I was able to find a little about the translator.  J.M. Neale was of ill health for most of his life, however he was still able to win the Seatonian prize for religious poetry 11 times (Trinity College, Cambridge, England).  




      click HERE to read 
"Encouragement vs Admonishment"

I have included 2 versions of this lovely hymn (below the lyrics).  Enjoy!

Turn with me to number 241 in your hymnals and let's sing:

Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Troubled

written by St Stephen of Mar Sabas (Greek) 
translated by John M. Neale (1818-1866)  & 
composed by Henry W. Baker (1821-1877)

1. Art thou weary, art thou troubled, Art thou sore distressed?  "Come to me," saith One, "and, coming Be at rest."

2.   Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide?  "In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side"

3.   Hath He diadem, as monarch, That His brow adorns?  "Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns."

4.   If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here?  "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear."

5.   If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last?  "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed."

6.   If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay?  "Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away."

Other Hymns on this blog:

Lead Us, O Father, in the Paths of Peace
Come Unto Me, Ye Weary
Peace, Perfect Peace 

Sound the Battle Cry
My Redeemer
O For a Closer Walk With Thee
He Keeps Me Singing
Open My Eyes That I May See
He Is Able To Deliver Thee
Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy
I Know Whom I Have Believed

Fun Fridays #36 - ONE PIECE SNOW SUIT

Fun Fridays #36 - ONE PIECE SNOW SUIT
Happiness and laughter are so good for our health!
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful" Proverbs 15:13
(click HERE to read the health benefits of laughter)

This is a series called:  "Fun Fridays".  On the first Friday of every month I will share with you an old photo or something from the recent past that made me happy;  in hopes that it will at least make you smile 😊


The picture above was taken at the end of the blizzard of 78 - it still lives in infamy.  We were unable to open our doors until the neighbors shoveled us out (we were trapped indoors for a couple days).  Finally, after we were freed, my sister and I immediately struggled to put on the one piece snow suit that was a requirement for all children at that time (I am the girl on the left).  This snow suit was definitely warm, but it cut off the circulation in both arms after about 10 minutes of wearing it (the winter fun overrode the pain from the suit - haha)
ENJOY!

Worship Wednesdays #19 - NEW EVERY MORNING

Worship Wednesdays #19 - NEW EVERY MORNING
This is the nineteenth post in a series called "Worship Wednesdays".  In this series I will focus on one word, thought or lesson and I will feature a modern Christian song that relates to the focus of the day.
Click HERE to read the post from a few months ago: 
REMEMBER THE DAY

Today is New Years Day 2020 - Happy New Year!  Let's focus on God's daily renewal.  

Let's begin by defining WORSHIP - the feeling or expression of adoration for a deity.  Adoration, love, devotion, adulation, glorify, exalt, praise.

There are many ways to worship God but in this series it will be through music.

“Seven times a day I praise you.” 

Psalm 119:164
