“Live at subterranean”
Released December 20, 2013
We got to do a LIVE recording at one of our favorite venues in Chicago, Subterranean, playing through a handful of old hymns and Christmas songs. This was such a fun night! Our pal put the whole evening together and pre-recorded various people reading old texts from guys like St Augustine, Charles Spurgeon and others that played throughout the night. You’ll hear them on a few of the tracks! Posted some video from the evening below.

LYRICS
LIVE AT SUBTERRANEAN
01. Holy, Holy, Holy
holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
life and light are with thee, merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed trinity
holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see;
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love and purity.
holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
all thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
life and light are with thee, there is none beside thee;
God in three persons, blessed trinity.
God in three persons, blessed trinity.

05. Once I Was Dead in Sin
o height o depth, I cannot reach or sound
o love, boundless love in my Redeemer found
I live and yet not I, but Christ that lives in me,
who from the law of sin and death has made me free
and can it be that He loved me and gave Himself up for me?
and can it be that He loved me and gave Himself up for me?
sing all ye saints of the Lord
sing all ye saints
once I was dead in sin, and hope within me died;
but now I'm dead to sin, with Christ I'm crucified.
and can it be that He loved me and gave Himself up for me?
and can it be that He loved me and gave Himself up for me?
sing all ye saints of the Lord

o love boundless love my Redeemer found
sing all ye saints
06. Be Thou My Vision

be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
thou my great Father, and I thy true son
thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one
high King of Heaven, my victory won
may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun
heart of my own heart, whatever befall
still be my Vision, O Ruler of all

09. We Three Kings
we three kings of orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar;
field and fountain,
moor and mountain
following yonder star.
oh
star of wonder, star of night;
star with royal beauty bright
westward leading, still proceeding
guide us to thy perfect light.
born a king on bethlehem's plain
gold I bring to crown Him again;
king forever, ceasing never over us all to reign.
oh
star of wonder, star of night;
star with royal beauty bright
westward leading, still proceeding
guide us to thy perfect light.
myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
breathes of life of gathering gloom.
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
glorious now behold him arise
king and God and sacrifice;
alleluia, alleluia earth to heav'n replies.
oh
star of wonder, star of night;
star with royal beauty bright
westward leading, still proceeding
guide us to thy perfect light.
10. Amazing Grace
amazing grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
through many dangers toils and snares, I have already come.
'tis grace has brought me safe this far, and grace will lead.
'tis grace has brought me safe this far.
'tis grace has brought me safe this far.
when we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun.
we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
I once was lost, but now am found,
I once was lost, but now am found,
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
