In part two of the podcast’s “Hymn Sing with Sarah” Communion hymn odyssey (listen to part one here), Sarah takes Erin, Bri, and Rachel back in time to celebrate hymns composed prior to 1715.

Eucharistic hymns covered in this episode include “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence,” “Draw Near and Take the Body of the Lord,” “Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness,” “O Lord, We Praise Thee,” “O Living Bread from Heaven,” “O Jesus Blessed Lord to Thee,” “Jesus Christ Our Blessed Savior,” “Now My Tongue the Mystery Telling,” “Thee We Adore O Hidden Savior,” and “The Death of Jesus Christ Our Lord.”

Special attention is paid to fan favorites “At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing” and “I Come O Savior to Thy Table.”
