Christ in me the hope of glory

Words by Miriam E Arnold 1914. Music by Charles Gabriel. At five years of age Miriam, with her par­ents, came to Am­eri­ca and set­tled at Mount Cle­mens, [Mi­chi­gan]. Her par­ents were devoted Christians, bi­ble stu­dents and lov­ers of the old church hymns. The Sab­bath meant, to them, a ho­ly day, a day of rest, wor­ship and me­di­ta­tion, and when the ev­en­ing came, the fa­mi­ly al­ways as­sem­bled for pra­yer, bi­ble read­ing and songs. It is understood Miriam made the personal decision to accept Christ into her life at 15 years of age. Later she is a con­sist­ent mem­ber of the [Me­thod­ist Epis­co­pal] church. Her first po­em was pub­lished in 1895, and has been suc­ceed­ed by prob­ab­ly 100 oth­ers, al­most all of which have been set to mu­sic and found their way into dif­fer­ent song books. She wrote at least 34 hymn lyrics. Charles Gabriel taught himself to play organ at his family's farm. He was teaching singing by age 15. He went on to compose over 260 hymns.

The worship lyrics are written by hand from Scripture, and the visuals are ones we come up with and direct ourselves, drawn from countless hours in the Word, in worship and listening to God's inspiration. We then use Ai to help bring those ideas to life, and we finish the work by hand, mixing and editing the sound, choosing and arranging every scene, and putting each video together. The ideas, the study, and the finishing are ours. Ai is just the tool that helps us realise them. All of it for one purpose that of bringing glory to Jesus and we pray that the songs bless you in some way. My lovely wife Susan also has her own music video channel with many more songs than I have had time to produce. I can recommend her channel @LampsonFire for the varying themes of her videos.
