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.

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.

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!

For those who appreciate the hymns together with excellent performance and quality, this is a great set. It is the only one, so far, that I have chosen to own, in style and effect being neither steeped in the traditional restraints of the "acapella-only-for-congregational-music" types nor weakened by so much of today's modern yet lame and annoying remix versions. I have been many times let down and irritated with either the blandness of some of the more traditional productions... or the obnoxious noise and "whining-ness" of so many modernized versions afloat recently.

Some of these arrangements constructed are fabulous. The more mellow will soothe or inspire, while the the upbeat is uplifting. I wish I could experience certain ones (i.e. Pass Me Not, Jesus, Lover of My Soul) live by those who actually performed them for the album.

I really Enjoy for the most part, But sometimes some of the songs get on my nerves. If I had the choice to buy it again, I would.

Maybe,this is the best CD ever bought.

storong song make my heart awake.

I've made up my mind to buy this CD more for my friends.

God blessed America!! We love this CD and U.S.A .
