When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died:

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Dr. Ring has started a new organ series on YouTube! https://youtu.be/jQcEeCul3eI

Help him spread the gift of music and this beautiful instrument!

"I will create at least one video per month. As support increases, I’ll be able to release multiple videos per month. As interest arises, I can also create videos in how the organ works and tutorials on how to play the instrument."

Music-loving friends! I could use your feedback! Could you please watch this 30-sec clip and let me know what you think?

I'm hoping to do more of these kinds of videos, with different camera angles of the organ. Do the text boxes make the video better? Some will be of the organ and how it works, or my thoughts of the composition too. Or would it be better without text?

Thanks for your input!
