Keep in mind that the main purpose of these videos is to encourage congregational 4-part harmony singing. I record and mix these in such a way to help the listener hear parts more clearly. I urge you to listen with earbuds/headphones or true stereo speakers. Laptop and phone speakers are not only garbage for critical listening, they provide no sense of stereo which can be helpful while listening to these. Alto is slightly towards the left ear/channel and tenor is towards the right ear/channel. Soprano and bass are right down the middle.
If you enjoy the way that these hymns are sang and want to experience them in person, stop by just about any church of Christ and they'll likely be singing them the same way. Without instruments.
I love the bass harmonization in this one!
Yes! Those dominant 7th and diminished chords are so much fun!
Wow, a thumbs down already? Haha... At least tell me what you didn't like about it. ( - :
Probably they sing it a different way?
Everything you sing we love it. God bless.
Thank you brother for sing all the lyrics ❤
I've been waiting for you to cover this song! Which sounds so good!
this hymn has been improvised to death it's a bit hard to find the authentic one. thank you for this video =)
Matthew 10:31
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
One of my favorite hymns 🎵
Very beautifully done! 🙏✝️
What a lovely rendition, thx
You're very welcome!
God bless u brother. Praise God for the beautiful voice he blessed u with
I just discovered your channel, and I loved the video!!! I am a church musician, and I love hearing these great hymns in an a cappella arrangement!! Thanks for posting, and I'm looking forward to more great videos!!
Happy,happy bday.Elliot. May God bless you more so that you can continue sharing your talent to us.
I appreciate your kindness and encouragement. But it's not my birthday. 😄
Everybody loves it.
Is it just me or does this song have some great barbershop type harmonies? I'm loving it! Interesting vocal ranges for each part too... tenors up to Eb (and sopranos but that's nothing abnormal), altos down to Ab (and basses, but again, not abnormal). Kinda makes me want to adjust the keying to make it easier for them, but either way you move it someone suffers more. May have to introduce my congregation to this, though it's not in our hymnal. Oh! Also gotta love a flat flat :)
Yeah! This is such a fun one. I got this arrangement straight out of _Praise for the Lord_ . And yeah, those Bbb's are a hoot!
Amen. Jesus is my portion.
Oh wow! I forgot that this song even existed. You just brought me way back. Thank you.
Haha... So glad I could share this old one with you!! I only recently learned this one and had a blast recording it.
Thank you for singing my favourite hymn.God bless you all
You're very welcome!
Amen greeting to all the church of christ members here

@acappellahymns OMG
Amen..
Amazing. A Capella...
Glad you enjoyed!
This *was* one of my grandma’s favorite songs. Now I see why. I wish she showed me this before she died.
THANKS & PRAISE HIS NAME : GBY
Psalms 34:13
“Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.”
If you don’t mind, when did you discover that you have talent in singing. I know it is God’s gift. Is this a calling to use your talent tos share your talent to very body? God bless always
I first discovered that I enjoy singing harmony when listening to Beatles albums when I was around 9-10. Not long after that, I started intently listening to my dad sing bass at church and then I started trying to sing like him. Eventually I begged him to sing tenor so I could try to do that as well. I never really learned to read for vocals until much later but at that time, I started watching the notes go up and down and started to be able to tell the difference in intervals. Well, as best as a 11-13 year old can. Haha.... I've had a passion for traditional hymns since adolescence that has grown over the years. I enjoy some of the newer songs as well. But I find that I worship best through traditional hymns.
While I don't prefer the timbre of my voice, I do realize how much of a gift it is to be able to read music and record these wonderful hymns. I'm not sure I would consider it a calling to do this channel. But more of an obligation to God and His church to share what talents I have. I'm hopeful that, through this channel, traditional 4-part harmony *worship* can be renewed in churches.
Very nice theological teaching

If I play this at 75% speed, it's the perfect speed for the song, as I heard it in the church I grew up in. Can you or did you record it at around that speed?
I love this song. My late husband and I learned the song from the Statler Brothers version but in our song book we use for Church services only has the melody. I could use a copy of the version with all the parts. How do I get a copy?
For my recordings, I use church hymnals that are published for the purpose of four part harmony worship such as Praise for the Lord, Songs for Worship and Praise, and a few others. But if you're ever looking for sheet music for public domain hymns (written 95 years ago or older), I highly recommend hymnary.org. They scan pages from hymnals and have them available to download/print for free. They have His Eye Is On The Sparrow hymnal scans all the way back to 1905!

Hey man. Can I get permission to use this song in one of my videos somehow?
Please make a song, THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Knowles shaw,1877 & Ira Sankey
Beautiful hymn, Can you also apload the hymn, "Matchless love" (1914)-Samuel W. Beazly
I hope you will read my message, Sam. God bless.
I've read all of your messages and replied to most. And again, my name is Elliot. ( :
😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👍
By the crew cut. Look for it.
If it's the song I think it is, "Sh-Boom", I won't be doing that one because it's not a worship song.
You can do .
Can you do The Greatest Commandment and Jesus is Lord?
Is there recordings I can buy.
I have some recordings on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and other places. I can also provide digital downloads through email for $0.25 each if you make me a list of ones you want.
@@acappellahymns I not finding any in the places you mentioned. Is it under a different name?
@@monavieforal - Sorry about that. I keep forgetting that the recordings are under my name - Elliot Bowman. Hope that helps!
@@acappellahymns lol probably will. Thank you.
Do you have hymnal for all these hymns?
I get all of these recordings straight from various church hymnals. This particular one came from one called Praise for the Lord, though I'm sure it can be found in other hymnals as well. If you're looking for printable scans of public domain hymns like this, you can always try Hymnary.org.

Very barbershop!
Could you do the hymn Jesus Makes My Heart Rejoice/With Thy Presence, Lord?
I'm not sure I know that one. when was it written and by who?
@@acappellahymns Author: Henrietta Louise van Hayn (1776) hymnary.org/text/jesus_makes_my_heart_rejoice
Do you sell
These hymns in cd format
I have personally burned CDs for people in the past and shipped them. I also have digital copies if that works better. Shoot me an email at ElliotBowman@protonmail.com and we'll figure out what would work best for you.
Thank you for your time. I found you on iTunes after I asked this question and purchased from there.
Try softening your 'R"s. Also, although this isn't exactly a spiritual, it is modeled on it, and it needs a bit more swing.
I attempt to record these hymns straight out of hymnals, exactly as they are written. I'll leave it up to the end users to make it their own.
@@acappellahymns OK, but a hard R is rather ugly; try to either use a soft R or roll it. When a word ends in a consonant, hold the not on the vowel, and put the consonant at the very end. Also, a broad English E is another ugly sound. Try to round your lips a bit--it will make it sound nicer. (My late mother was a graduate of Eastman, and taught voice for almost 50 years.)
Have you ever seen "Member of the Wedding"? This song appears in it.
Would you kindly do 'How long till the morning'
I don't think I know that one. When was it written and by who?
@@acappellahymns 2005 by C.E. Couchman
Ah, okay. copyrighted hymns, anything written newer than 1924, are more difficult to do since we need permission from copyright administrators. Do you have a different request for a public domain song?
@@acappellahymns I have no idea of any but thank you for the ones you have :-)
Thank God I found your real name and email. So. Am I allowed to send you messages here?
You may email me if you like. Did you find the replies I've made to all of your comments? And if you don't mind, please reply to my comment instead of creating a new comment. That will help keep our conversation together. Thanks!
can you do hymns with accompaniment and Andrae Crouch songs like take me back , bless his holy name, my tribute, the blood will never loose its power , and Always Remember
No sir, not on this channel. Notice it's called "A Cappella Hymns"? ( : I do these so that traditional 4-part harmony worship can be encouraged in our churches.
@@acappellahymns ok / could you do the songs I requested ?
@Ronnie Roddy Jr. - When were they written and by who? If they're written after 1924, the chance of me recording them goes down significantly. Copyright admins often charge large fees for that sort of thing. And then there's the issue of sheet music. If it's available in a traditional 4-part harmony arrangement, that's easier for me. If it's not, it can take hours to transcribe and arrange a song. Something that would put a request even lower on my list. Hope that makes sense?
@@acappellahymns Andrae Crouch songs like take me back , bless his holy name, my tribute, the blood will never loose its power , and Always Remember written around 1970's and 80's some of them r in the hymn books and Andrae had pass in 2015 age 72
@@owlmatrix6794 - Okay. Then copyrighted for sure if they were written in the '70s and '80s. Any idea what hymnal you've seen any of those in?
Hello Sam, try the song cheeboom sheemom. By the cew
I still don't know who Sam is. And I don't know the song "Cheeboom Sheemom". Nor do I know who "the cew" is.
Sorry Eliot, I did not comment on your hymns. Bec I thought you were disappointed by my comments.
No ma'am. Not at all! I just prefer to have all the comments together and that's why I suggested replying to previous comments rather than creating a new comment. Feel free to comment any time!
Rejoice in the goodness & the Faithfulness of no King but Christ Alone, amen!
Puritan Thomas Watson wrote that "Satan tempts after some discoveries of God’s love. As a pirate sets on a ship that is richly laden, so when a soul hath been laden with spiritual comforts the devil will be shooting at him, to rob him of all. The devil envies to see a soul feasted with spiritual joy."
Jonathan Edwards wrote that "the best protection one can have from the devil and his schemes is a humble heart."
Seriously??? Am I the only one commenting here who misses the passion, the feeling and warmth of this wonderful song? This recording is like dead, just sung along, without any feelings. Sorry!
Hello Fabian. These recordings are primarily designed to instruct rather than for just listening for enjoyment. If that's what you need, I'm happy to recommend some channels that feature more musical recordings.
It is so difficult to find a "pure" unembellished arrangement of this song in particular.
@@acappellahymns there's many of us who enjoy your recordings very much!
@@acappellahymns I thought the same the first time finding one of your videos ... sense then I have used them many times to play along, getting my timing and correct notes and get used to following scores ... accuracy before embellishment ... Thank you so much.
Cresci escutando esse hino na igreja. Tem um senhor de 74 anos amigo meu, foi meu aluno, estudava eufônio, só gostava de tocar esse hino. Em português no hinário da CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil é o hino 33 - "Jesus é o nosso guia".

I'm glad you enjoyed!
It's computer generated ain't it? I like the song but here in the US the Sparrows are invasive and destroy native birds.
This is not computer generated. And maybe the writers didn't realize it's invasive behavior when they wrote the song? Either way, the song has scriptural ties to Matthew 6:26 and other places.
@@acappellahymns the Sparrows were imported from Europe
The prevent the native Blue birds from reproducing every chance they get. I know it is reference to a creature whose only means of survival is by the of God's grace and the way he set things in order like child birth. No miracle. It's God's plan.
Man, you never heard this song from Sister Act 2? I highly recommend you go look that up, as it's really a good song. Lauryn Hill and Tanya Blount, if I recall correctly.
