The Hymns Illustrated Podcast | A Very Thankful Episode
Nov 23, 2021
Have you ever wondered why we don't hear Thanksgiving songs when we're out and about? Or why we don't pull out our Thanksgiving music every November?
The answer is simple when you think about it. it's because every hymn is Thanksgiving music. And hymns are for all-year round!
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. – Colossians 3:16
In this week's episode of The Hymns Illustrated podcast, we'll take a closer look at stanza two of our Hymn of the Month and consider why Martin Luther chose to refer to the Lord as Lord Sabaoth.
We'll also learn the background of a hymn we should sing more often -- especially at Thanksgiving time-- and then the episode ends with a Thanksgiving Hymn acronym you can take with you beyond this week.
