You should do Praise ye the Lord the Almighty, the King of Creation. It's German 17th century, by Joachim Neander. The Neanderthal man fossil is named after him, this is an interesting story. This icon of evolution is named after a creationist hymn writer preacher. The Neanderthal man is a perfectly normal post-flood human who lived to a great age. It is also the world's best hiking song. If you find the history you will realize why I say that. I love that hymn it is my favorite.

Me too. This "rock" version sounds a lot like Jerry Lee Lewis came up with the melody. I won't name the title of the particular song this sounded a lot like, but I go for the original hymn as it was sung. IMO, I think we don't do these great and profound hymns any favors by messing with them. It's like we deny the power of those hymns and the holiness of God to try to be "relevant" to an unholy world. If you want to give it a "modern" sound, then write your own lyrics.

I sang Rock of Ages this week. One of my al time favorites. The simple yet deepest of biblical truths: "Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone." "Oh, the blood of Jesus"

Amen. my daddy preaches in an old country church. His church still sings hymns out of the hymnal.

I totally agree that the deepness and richness of the old hymns cannot be matched.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Rock music is what I thrived on when I was a lost unsaved sinner. When I became a new creation in Christ, He took away my desire for rock music. It is a music born out of rebellion that runs contrary to the holy nature of our Savior. While it does excite and entertain the flesh, it leaves the spirit hungry. Like cotton candy. The natural man (unregenerate) loves it. The new man however, is not going to grow strong while ingesting rock music daily.

It was a small country church…. maybe 30 of us were there on Sunday night when service was merely an hour of picking songs from the hymnal at random by those attending. My grand aunt’s voice would soar above all as our voices in unison sought to chase her praise to her God. Aunt Neene now has a perfected voice to go with her quiet personality and that wonderful smile behind which an amazing voice stood ready to soar with praise the her Strength. I so miss those Sunday night services. They still soar in my ears as I hear these lyrics.

Thank you Luke for this excellent clip. I grew up in a Methodist church enjoying the riches of their excellent hymn book. My parents had good voices, my mom with a rich contralto and my dad a solid bass and when my voice broke I had the wonderful privilege of being able to sing the bass parts with my dad. For Rock of Ages we sang the alternative tune which was a bit more sonorous but equally lovely. I miss the gravity of the great old hymns and find most of the "cut and paste" songs currently popular rather anaemic and uninspiring. But that's me I guess. Please keep doing what you're doing!

One observation that I can't help noticing with modernized renditions of songs versus their original counterparts is that the modern version consistently tends to have less melodic variety.
