Hymns and Spiritual Songs

 

The majority of the hymns and songs featured, except where otherwise stated, were recorded of the congregational singing at Lansdowne Baptist Church in Bournemouth, UK, in 1981 and 1982. Many of the hymns on this page are no longer familiar to the young generation, but have words and melodies that are treasured memories to many of us.

Also many years ago, two LP albums were made of the piano and organ music that featured as part of the worship services at Lansdowne.  Requests have been made that some of those selections might be added on this page and therefore two or three medleys are included below. We pray that they will be a blessing. The organist on the two LPs was Norman Good, who had also served as the organist during Francis Dixon’s ministry at Lansdowne and is fondly remembered by many.
