Hymn writer Sanford Fillmore Bennett basically crafted the phrase, "the sweet by-and-by" after a conversation with his friend, fellow hymn writer Joseph Philbrick Webster. Then the two gentlemen wrote the hymn together in less than 30 minutes!

This episode is all because of our two hymn-loving friends, Judy and Jill!

Judy and Jill don't know each other, have never had a conversation, and live hundreds of miles apart, but united in Christ and in their love of hymns, they BOTH requested the hymn Who Is On The Lord's Side?

If you would like to hear a hymn on an upcoming episode, please reach out to us! We love getting your requests! You can always reach out to us by email - [email protected] or social media.

We hope that this hymn inspires you and encourages to live out your faith and to live out your faith boldly and OUT LOUD by speaking and living the message of Christ for all to see. Ask the question, "Who is on the Lord's side?" and then confidently answer, "We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are Thine!"

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing your love of hymns with us! If you are interested in purchasing one of our limited-edition Hymn Talk Twin Talk ornaments, please reach out to us on social media. Also, look for a web site in the coming week!

This is a beautiful, powerful hymn that we are so excited to be diving into. We sang this as kids in our church and we can remember having so much fun with it. The tune is bouncy and peppy and just FUN to sing. Examining the hymn all these years later, so much of the meaning was lost on us as kids. This hymn is just FULL of Scripture and theology and Christian doctrine.

Here are some things that we talk about in the episode:

At the Cross with Tune by Hudson sheet music

Alas and Did My Savior Bleed by Wilson sheet music

Valley Forge Christian College

Raluca Bojor

Raluca Bojor on YouTube

Raiders of the Lost Ark Face Melt Movie Clip

'Twas Rum by Hudson sheet music

Prohibition in the United States

The Salvation Army

O Save Me at the Cross by Fanny Crosby sheet music

Thank you for listening! Thank you for supporting Hymn Talk Twin Talk. We really hope you enjoy our light-hearted look at the hymns while still sharing the truth of who Jesus is and all that He's done for us.
