This is an old favorite of the Sardis UMC congregation where I have served as music minister for 15 years. This wonderful recording is an Adventist Choir and a congregation in North London singing together.
Sweet, Sweet Spirit
I love the harmony they split into at the high part - “sweet Holy Spirit, sweet heavenly dove...” That is where congregations tend to lose singers, or they drop an octave. Harmony makes it possible for everyone to sing in their best voice, together. We just can’t all sing the melody at the same time. There is a life lesson in that, for sure.
Read this, if you have time, to learn about the composer and the wonderful way the song came about. Story behind the song
