Old Gospel Songs That Got the Whole Family Through the Long Night | Old-Time Hymns with Lyrics

THE OLD CHURCH SONGS YOU GREW UP WITH — WRITTEN NEW, SUNG THE OLD WAY. Lyrics are shown on screen for every song, so you can sing along. Old gospel songs and vintage gospel music inspired by the warm small-church sound of the 1960s and 1970s — newly written, not archival recordings. Made for the songs that got the whole family through the long night. Daddy was sick in the old iron bed, and Mama and their son sat up with him all night, singing the old hymns softly by the little bedside lamp. A chair pulled close to the bed. A basin of cool water. A glass of water on the nightstand. The hall light left on. Covered dishes from the neighbors. The prayer list on the icebox door. The doctor's black bag. A cot beside the bed. The window open a crack. The screen door at midnight. Reading glasses folded on the Bible. Sunrise through the blinds. Expect mature gospel voices, an old upright piano, soft church organ, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and close family harmony in original Christian songs about Jesus, grace, mercy, prayer, God's Word, and the hope of heaven. These are the songs that got the whole family through the long night. We did not know how long the night would be. But the Lord sat up with us, and we kept on singing. Let these old-time gospel songs play while you pray, read the Bible, sit beside someone you love, or rest at home on a quiet evening. 🎵 TRACKLIST 0:00 I Pulled My Chair Up Close 4:41 A Basin of Cool Water 8:20 The Glass on the Nightstand 12:18 The Light Is On in the Hall 16:27 A Covered Dish 20:48 The List on the Icebox Door 25:40 The Doctor's Black Bag 30:06 The Cot Beside the Bed 34:37 The Window Open a Crack 39:12 The Screen Door at Midnight 42:52 Glasses on the Bible 47:30 Sunrise Through the Blinds 51:58 Alternate Versions Begin Tell us where you are listening from and finish this sentence: "The old hymn that carried our family through a long night was…" Your memory may bless someone who needs it today.
