  Finnish HymnsA unique and interesting recording.
Finland is the final outpost of Protestant northern Europe and, in common with Protestant countries in general, it has a rich tradition of hymns and congregational singing.
Most of these hymns come from the late 19th and early 20th century, but some span the centuries. Though all will be known to those of Finnish heritage, many are borrowed from Luther or American Revival hymns, thus known around the world.
Jumala ompi linnamme (Ein' feste Burg)
Jeesus, luona armopöydän (Jesus at the seat of grace)
Päivä vain (Only a moment in time)
Halleluja, kiitos Herran (Alleluia, sing to Jesus)
Koska valaissee kointähtönen (When will the morning star)
Käy yrttitarhasta polku (From Gethsemane there is a path)
Nyt se suuri päivä koitti (This is the great day)
Kosketa minua, Henki (Clasp me, O Holy Spirit)
Oi Pyhä Henki, Herramme (Veni, creator spiritus)
Jumala loi (Moon and son)
Käyn kohti sinua (Nearer my God to thee)
Maa kaikki vaikka Herran on (The earth is the Lord's)
Soi kunniaksi Luojan (May the hymn of honour now resound)
Kuule, Isä taivaan (Hear, O heavenly father)
Kuulkaa, keitä Mestari (Hear whom the master calls blessed)
Tiellä ken vaeltaa (Who passes on the road)
Käy, kansa, Herraasi vastaan (Go Zion, to meet your king)
Taas siunattu päivä (The blessed day)
Oi Herra, luoksein jää (Abide with me)
Jo joutui armas aika (Now the world is in bloom)
Siunaa ja varjele meitä (Bless and keep us, Lord)
