A Forest Hymn

About this video

“A Forest Hymn” brings William Cullen Bryant’s old poem into the warm, easygoing sound of 1970s Jesus music. Acoustic guitars, open harmonies, and a relaxed folk-rock feeling carry a simple idea: the woods were God’s temples long before anybody built walls, raised a steeple, or put a name over the door. Bryant’s poem was first published in 1824, but its sense of wonder still feels right at home. Step away from the noise for a while, breathe the open air, and remember the One who made it all.
