Songs from the Altar

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The most consistently solid of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir recordings, Songs from the Altar is a highly polished collection built on simple praise and worship refrains. From the pen of Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir director Carol Cymbala, the singers (a select ensemble of choir members) offer "We've come to bless your name, oh Lord." Contemporary Christian music superstar Carman contributes the lyric "I feel Jesus in this place / And my soul does burn within me," and the traditional African American spiritual offers "Bless that wonderful name of Jesus / No other name I know." The Nashville String Machine, underscored by the Tabernacle band--including a Hammond B-3 organ--provides a refined yet spirited backdrop for the powerful clarity of the vocal arrangements. --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars A Blessing.......2006-02-25

Wow what can be said about this most precious praise and worship tape. It has blessed my heart and yet made me think of my own life. A great CD to share.

5 out of 5 stars Songs from the Altar.......2001-11-28

Such a beautiful C.D. Perfect for preparing your heart for worship, or getting in the mood for praise. One cannot but help singing along with every song, because each fills your heart with joy.

5 out of 5 stars From the Panhandle.......2000-01-26

If you are feeling low put on this tape and start at song 1 play through to the end skipping nothing and concentrate on the words. I promise the pull of the lyrics and music will make all well...totally uplifting.

5 out of 5 stars Execellent Praise the Lord !.......1999-02-09

Every time listen to this cd I just praise the lord. Even my co-workers are in told praises with me thank lord for this beautiful choir.Ihope to cometo this church for a visit soon.

4 out of 5 stars THE SINGERS HAVE OUTDONE THEMSELVES!.......1998-12-28

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers have recorded before, but this recording is by far their best and inspiring!! The songs are worshipful and is a tape that helps enter you into the presence of the Lord. A great tape!!! It was an additional priviledge to see the dynamic singers in concert here in San Diego. Keep up the good work Carol Cymbala!

3 out of 5 stars The final track alone is worth the purchase.......2001-04-07

If you like traditional hymns done the traditional way (with choir and organ), this CD is a good one.

A typical hymn-sing, but a great recording of it. This isn't your grandma's choir.

The arrangements aren't too flashy, but the final selection ("All Hail the Power") makes up for it, and will knock your socks off.

An ardent fan of Fred Swann's, I'd recommend this CD to any hymn-lover.
