Sing Allelu



This song is from the oldest known Christian hymnal, compiled in about 100 AD. The hymnal is known as the "Odes of Solomon". This is Ode #40, subtitled "Sing Allelu", performed by Fernando Ortega. It's from a compilation CD called "The Odes Project, Volume 2". Exquisite!
I can just imagine early Christians singing this and it has spanned several thousand years

  1. This was just the most beautiful song and just what I needed today!!! Thank you, Dani, for posting this. I've always loved old hymnals and wondered why some of these songs got lost along the wayside and so glad to see them found again. My Dad used to sing the "Psalms" from the old Dutch hymnbook --- wish I could hear him sing just one time again!!!!
