A Hidden Treasure In Our Homes

UPDATE: I'm amazed at all the activity over this song! Unfortunately, as it has reached it's limit of downloads (100), I've reuploaded it at http://soundcloud.com/danieljamesgplus/over-the-misty-mountains. It's the same music; but you can download it there, as this one has been maxed out.

Here are the lyrics: 

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old
The pines were roaring on the heights,
The wind was moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread,
The trees like torches blazed with light.

Over the Misty Mountains Cold 2

I've never tried recording music before, much less singing in a recording, so please bear with me! This is a recording of me playing piano and singing the hymn "Agnus Dei." In Latin, Agnus Dei means "Lamb of God."

I've known this song for years, but I really started appreciating it after singing it in choir at the 2012 River of Life Christian Fellowship Youth Conference. If you were there, be sure to sing along to this!

Agnus Dei (vocal + piano)

I've never tried recording music before, much less singing in a recording, so please bear with me! This is a recording of me playing piano and singing "In Christ Alone."

In Christ Alone (vocal + piano)

This is me, Daniel James, singing "Silent Night" and accompanying myself on the piano. 

Silent Night

Angels We Have Heard On High

Away In A Manger

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Vocal + piano self-accompaniment

Merry Christmas, and God bless you!

O Come, All Ye Faithful
