Reviews
A LibriVox Listener
I can’t even explain how moving this was for me. Many of my favorite readers I’ve listened to for years suddenly came close to me in the deepest way. Hymns aren’t for entertainment or technical achievement; they are meant to join hearts. Especially love the purity and authenticity of the Acappella and simply-accompanied pieces. God bless! Will listen to this often. Thank you.
Good Hymns
Damon Gang
Sound is fine and enjoyed the variety of voices. The hymns are traditional and well done in an amateur sort of way (which made them home-y for me). I plan to listen through this many times.
Happy to Hear the Old Hyms

I enjoy the contemporary Christian music and the talented musicians, but happy to know the traditional hymns and the gospel message they carry live on.
