There is a Fountain Filled with Blood | Hymnpartial Ep050

In this, our fiftieth episode (I know, right??), we're bringing you a William Cowper classic we can't believe we haven't talked about yet: There is a Fountain Filled with Blood. There will, of course, be some blood in this episode, but there's also a whole ton of hope and encouragement, and we can't wait to dig into this hymn with you!

Psalms for Singing with Matthew David Montgomery | Hymnpartial Ep049

The Curious Culture of Abide With Me | Hymnpartial [REPLAY]

There's so much going on at Hymnpartial HQ this week that we're taking a break just to rest and regroup. However, with football season reaching a fever pitch (see what we did there) we'd like to share with you an old classic and well-known football anthem, Abide with Me.

Bizarrely, this is a song that has been widely adopted by secular culture in the most unusual ways and for some very odd reasons (and sometimes no reason at all). Why is a song about longing for God to walk with us through death so often sung at unbelievers' funerals? What has it got to do with football? And why did it cause such a stir in relation to the Indian Army in 2020?

St. Francis and All Creatures of Our God and King | Hymnpartial Ep048

This week, we're talking about a hymn that was more recently revived by the David Crowder band, but actually goes way, way back. Our hymn for the week is All Creatures of Our God and King, but we'll also be taking a look into the tumultuous, yet fascinating life and beliefs of its author, Saint Francis of Assisi.

Happy Birthday, Hymnpartial! | Hymnpartial Ep045

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?

Joy to the World: Just for Christmas? | Hymnpartial Ep044

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

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee! | Hymnpartial Ep043

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!
