Excellent Collection of Hymns

"This is a wonderful (and very inexpensive) 2 disk set that has most of the really popular and outstanding hymns of the Christian faith. Its sound is diverse, with electric guitars, violins, pipe organs, and many other instruments used--yet most of the songs stick to a very traditional and full sound. The only problem I have with CD is that a few of the songs are only instrumentals and do not have the words. For example, a couple of the songs missing the words are Be Thou My Vision and Joyful Joyful. Otherwise though, if you are looking for a good collection of traditional hymns but with a more contemporary sound, this is a great collection to own. You can't beat the price, and musically it's quite good."

Great choices of hymns, but....

"You get tons of hymns on this CD. They are all great selections. However, I was hoping for something more traditional, especially coming from Maranatha. There are arrangements that are modernized and some where it's only instrumental. It's not a consistent compilation."

A Great Buy

"I have always loved anything that Maranatha Music puts out and this c.d. is no exception. It is a wonderful compilation of classic hymns done beautifully. Maranatha does a wonderful job of having both traditional parts, as well as their own parts that are not necessarily contemporary, but more traditional Maranatha music. Two disks of great traditional hymns and a great buy!"
