Join us for this new episode on the modern classic, Before the Throne of God above. This week we'll be talking about assurance of faith, giving credit where credit is due, and a hymn that is older and newer than people expect. All that and more!

In celebration of Hymnpartial's first birthday, we thought we'd take a look back at a few of the lessons we've learned and ways we've been convicted through the last 52 weeks of podcasting. We talk about how we're constantly amazed by the lives of the human beings behind the hymns, how we're convicted by how often we don't pay attention to what we're singing, and we reflect on how the hard work of podcasting is absolutely worth it.

Also, listen to the very end to find out the answer to a question you've never asked about the podcast. And tell us: what's something you've learned (big or small) from listening to Hymnpartial?

We're continuing our joyful theme with another accidental Christmas carol! In this episode, we talk about why Joy to the World isn't an advent hymn, we have a look at how the Mormons have changed the lyrics to suit themselves, plus we will answer a question from our mailbag.

The channel we mentioned in the answer to the mailbag question belongs to Martijn de Groot, and you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWgBKBJaM1JNqjAxZL_AzxQ

We decided that our next two episodes would be on a joyful theme, only to discover that by pure coincidence, both the songs are hymns which are frequently mistaken for Christmas songs.

In this week's episode, we talk about big fluffy dogs, Romantic era poetry, and pre-WW1 history - although Cara is trying her hardest not to go off down a series of interesting literary and historical rabbit trails. We also talk about the hymn Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee and the Beethoven symphony it was taken from. All that and more!

You asked and we're here to answer as we dig into some of our mailbag questions. There may be some encouragement, there may be some challenges, you'll just have to listen and find out!

We'll be talking about songs for those who are struggling, our favourite episodes so far, and we're playing a fun game of Hymnpartial This or That.

All that, plus some fun rabbit trails right here!

We've mentioned the Queen of Gospel so many times, but this week we're finally taking a look at one of Fanny Crosby's best known hymns, Blessed Assurance. We're going to talk about the incredible life of the hymnwriter herself, hear in her own words how Blessed Assurance came to be written, and we'll be reminded of the unwavering assurance that is ours in Christ.

All that and more you never knew!

What are you reading in your Bible at the moment? This week we'd like to remind you of the excellent hymn, How Firm A Foundation. This is no stuffy classic, it's a wonderful song that talks about the beautiful gift the Bible is, often lifting lyrics straight from Scripture itself.

In a world that tries to undermine the Word of God, this is the perfect hymn to remind us to trust the word of the God who cannot lie.

And can it be that we're finally talking about one of Charles Wesley's hymns?? Why, yes it can.

In this week's episode, we'll be looking into one of his greatest hits. We'll be talking about Charles Wesley's post-ordination conversion, touching on why some Christians don't like him, and, of course, discussing one of Cara's favourite hymns.

We're revisiting the trinity this week as we talk about the classic trinitarian hymn, Holy Holy Holy. In this episode we learn about the short but impactful life of Reginald Heber, and discover where the wonderful themes of this song can be found in the Bible. We also touch on some of our thoughts about Mormons singing (and sometimes editing) what are blatantly Christian songs. All that and more!
