Doxology

FrAzEr1803 · Jun 29, 2004

Does your church use this Hymn? My church doesn't but I wish it would. When do you usually do your doxologies if you do them? Beginning or End?

Bradford · Jun 30, 2004

I am going to assume you mean the song that goes...

Praise God from whom all blessing flow;
Praise Him, all creastures here below;
Praise Him; above; ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

We do and I don't like it. I know I probably should... but you say it so often that I know (because I do it too) people start to say it out of habit and you stop thinking about the words really mean. We usually do it before the preaching...

The church that I attend does not use any of the responcive (?) readings in the hymnals, or the doxology.

However the church that my grandparents attend still use the doxology (atlest the last time that I was there they did) and they did it right after the offering.

My church has done it a few times and I don't really like it but I'm in the praise band and we play a contemporary version...I don't know if anybody has recorded it like this or anything but I have heard it a few times...maybe charlie hall or David Crowder might have recorded it...you might want to check around for that...

I just looked through my mp3s and there is a version of it by david crowder that is tight as all get out...its on Passions: Hymns Ancient and Modern cd...

When we play it my friend sings and plays acoustic, I play electric with a ebow, a doo-dad that keeps the string moving for infinate sustain...and then we either have a dejembe or something like that...and its awesome!

Which one is it? I think there are quite a number of hymns known as a doxology.

I'd always heard it done at the end of a service [like it was done sometimes at my parents' church], but at the church I attend while at school, we've sung it at the beginning. I love it.

fallenbutterfly · Aug 3, 2004

The church I currently attend doesn't sing it, but my mother's church (an old little Methodist church) sings it every Sunday after they take the offering.

Rich48 · Aug 4, 2004

No, we do not use this hymn. A church I attended years ago did every Sunday after the offering.

We have Doxology after every offerings but, they've changed the lyrics and the rythm as well...it goes:

We give Thee but Thine own
Whatever the gift may be
All that we have is Thine alone
A trust O Lord of Thee
Amen

but, at the Sunday school, we'll sing the normal doxology

Rich48 · Aug 30, 2004

According to cyberhymnal, this short song is acually a part of a much longer hymn (the last verse). The hymn is Awake My Soul, And With The Sun.

I go to a Non-Denom, Spirit Filled Church. Growing up I went to a Church of God and had never heard of the doxology until we moved here (NC).
Our church sings the doxology after offering, although I doubt it sounds anything like it would sound in most churchs. I guess we do a more contempary version of it.
The words are the same, just the speed and sound are different.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Prais ehim above all Heavenly Hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.....Amen"

Rich48 · Aug 30, 2004

Making the melody, speed, etc different does not affect the message of the song. In case anyone does not this this one at all, here is how it sounds when song in a tradition manner (althouth some might think this version is a little fast):

My church is an Evangelical Free Church. We have a blended service (though I don't believe most "Free" churches do anymore), so we do the Doxology on occasion, normally segue from a fairly large hymn, almost like a special ending to it.

Yours and His,
David

When I was growing up, my church used to sing the Doxology every Sunday. I'm not exactly sure why they quit singing it, but I've got it memorized by now and can play the melody on the piano without the music, too. I picked it out one Sunday after church just because I felt like it.

We no longer sing it, though, except sometimes as a prayer before a meal.

In many traditional UMCs you will hear the Doxology sung after the offering, as the ushers take the offering plates up and place them on the altar. In my experience it is in declining use in the UMC and I miss it.

I am looking for an alternative tune to the traditional Doxology to which many of you are referring.

the 17th century tune is too much like a dirge.

anyone have an alt. tune? love to hear it. send me a link.

blessings!

I go to a UMC with a traditional worship service, so of course I hear the Doxology every Sunday. I have read that it is the oldest English hymn still in regular use.

Joshua Howard · Nov 1, 2004

It's in our hymnbook, and we sing it from time to time, as we would any other song.
