Amish song book

Mid-week Inspiration and Amish Hymns

The more I learn about the Amish, the more I find we have in common. When I was in Wisconsin doing research, I came across this small song book for Amish services. Now, I doubt that many of those folks need to look at the song book! But there’s a nice section of German lyrics in addition to the Englisch ones.

Here are a few of the songs I thought you might recognize:

• Amazing Grace
• Balm in Gilead
• Blessed Redeemer
• How Great Thou Art
• I Have Decided
• Just a Closer Walk with Thee
• Precious Memories
• The Love of God
• The Old Rugged Cross
• Victory in Jesus

There are also plenty of Christmas songs that you’d recognize. Isn’t it fun to see how our faith shares much with the Amish faith? Of course, if you plan to attend an Amish church service, you might want to brush up on your German as they are conducted in the German language.

Blessings,
