Francis Albert Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The tune is a mix of Sweet Betsy from Pike (missouri) an American ballad dating from 1858, an american hymn Blessed Assurance (the this my story section) which may well have featured in the Graham rally and of course the Flanders and Swann's Mud Mud Glorious Mud released the year before tje Hector Nicol song of 1958. Wikipaedia suggests ther is video footage of Johnny Cash singing both the Hearts and Hibs songs which seems improbable. PS and the Cash connection is wrong as i suspevted. There is video footage of him singing Sweet Betsy from Pike the source of the main theme of the Hearts song and Battle Hymn of the Republic source of the Hibs song.

I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.” That confidence (or blessed assurance) of life after death wasn't because he thought he was someone special but because he believed he was a sinner saved by grace alone, through Jesus, crucified and risen.

In fairness to old Billy boy his love for Jesus allowed him to be on the correct side of history regarding civil rights, at least to some extent. It is just a shame that (like other American evangelicals) he allowed his love for Jesus to allow him to hate the women and the homosexuals. It is also a great shame he advised all the US presidents and didn't listen to what Jesus said about mixing in politics, but then you wouldn't want him to take everything literally. Then he'd be a Jehovah's Witness or something really crazy. I've been to the mountaintop and I've seen the promised land and mine eyes hath seen the glory in the coming of the lord, and I didn't spot Billy Graham but I did see a bunch of gay guys pleasuring each other sexually.

When I was saved at the Billy Graham Crusade in 1991, I found it, as an ex-atheist with no history of going to church let alone hymn singing, somewhat problematic when it cam to singing Blessed Assurance. PS Crusade was at Celtic Park, just under 7 years later Hearts won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 42 years, you know where!

Your assuming that we'll be a goal up in the 98th minute; like it. I remember a couple of things from then. For some reason my parents were putting up a neighbour's friend for the duration. She only eat grapefruit for breakfast and afterwards would go for a dump. We had to evacuate the house for about half an hour afterwards. There was a joke going round at the time. Billy asked, if there was anyone who needed miraculous intervention to cure their ailments to come out to the front. Two folk came out, one with a hair lip called Mr Smith and the other, on crutches, called Mr Brown. Billy had a screen erected round them. He then asked the audience to be silent for a minute and to pray for their ailments to be cured. After the assembled crowd had silently prayed for a minute Billy raised his arm and called out to Mr Smith, "Mr Smith please tell us what has happened to Mr Brown" Back came the reply. "Mithter Broonth fell on hith arth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have the same feelings towards all religion. Its a form of mind control for the weak minded and vulnerable. Used for different cultures own gains and agendas. Every war there has ever been has been caused by religion or in the name of a religious cause. Each to their own. I just find it far easier to believe in a scientific theory than one that has stories about talking bushes, seas being parted, boats that carry two of every animal on the planet. Books that claim it’s a sin to be homosexual, that condones rape in multiple Stories. That promotes bigotry and xenophobia. I could go on and on about the hypocrisy in these books of tales.
