Do you enjoy beer, or hymns, or both, or neither? Well, this is the podcast for you!
On the Beer and Hymns podcast, we discuss the stories and people behind the hymns we know and love, and we discuss what they mean to us in our own context. Brian Russell owns and operates Brokerage Brewing Company in West Lafayette, Indiana, and Mike Tetrault is a humble worship pastor. Join us as we look at the classics, taking some detours along the way, and we hope you will gain new insights into the timeless hymns you have sung for years.

26: This Is My Father's World
Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)
This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand the wonders wrought.
Verse 2 (sung at the end)
This is our Father's world:
O let us not forget
That though the wrong is great and strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
He trusts us with his world
to keep it clean and fair
All earth and trees, all skies and seas
All creatures everywhere
Verse 3
This is my Father’s world:
God shines in all that’s fair;
In rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!

25: His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)
Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heav’n and home;
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is he;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free;
For his eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
Verse 2 (sung at the end)
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise;
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
From care he sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me. [Refrain]

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race
Ye ransomed from the fall,

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all!

we at his feet may fall!

23: Jesus Paid It All
A very special thanks to our guest star for this week: Stacy Grove! Thank you for putting up with all our (mostly Brian's) shenanigans.
Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small.
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
REFRAIN
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
(Last time) Amen.
VERSE 2 (sung at the end)
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
VERSE 3
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
VERSE 4
And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.

A very special thanks to our guest this week, Leah Boyd, the Sassy Seminary Student herself! You can find her on Twitter @LeahBSassy.
Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with thee;

as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided--
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. [Refrain]

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

21: Victory in Jesus
Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)
I heard an old, old story
How a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me
I heard about His groaning
Of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory
Refrain:
O victory in Jesus
My Savior forever
He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood
He loved me 'ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
Verse 2 (sung at the end)
I heard about His healing
Of His cleansing power revealing
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see
And then I cried 'dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit'
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory [Refrain]
Verse 3
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea
About the angels singing
And the old redemption story
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory
