If On a Quiet Sea - Acapella

Eldon, Landry, and Camden sing "If On a Quiet Sea".
1. If, on a quiet sea,
Tow'rd heav'n we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We'll own the fav'ring gale;
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We'll own the fav'ring gale.
2. But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home;
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.
3. Teach us, in ev'ry state,
To make Thy will our own;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone.

Your harmonies are perfect! How did you all learn to harmonize?

[@MartinMusicCrew]

Acapella singing and four-part harmony are a big part of Mennonite culture. Both my boys and I were exposed to both at school and church from little up. I was one of the few that actually didn't learn how to sing harmony, which is why I always singing melody in our videos. However, the boys can pretty much sing any part within their vocal range, even without a song book in front of them.
