Abide With Me” the long-awaited hymn album from Utah favorite Daniel Beck

SKPAbideWithMeCoverCropFans of Daniel Beck’s gorgeous voice will sit back and breathe a happy sigh when they hear “Abide With Me,” his new album of hymns and hymn-like songs.  It’s just what they’ve been waiting for—and that includes me.

Whether it’s an ear-opening blend of familiar lyrics with unexpected old hymn tunes or the tender, soaring high notes on “Gentle Savior,” this is an album that speaks the longing we have for closeness and dependence on the Lord, and sings praises for his mercy.  You’ll enjoy hearing Daniel and Tyler talk about the song choices and the arrangements, and why this is more than just a collection of songs for them.

That’s this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
