    Tight, upbeat harmonies make the distinction that sets Glad's latest, "Acappella Hymns" apart from many other Christian acapella groups. There's plenty of their usual embellishments and ornamentations to these old favorite hymns. The project includes the peppy and forceful "This Is My Father's World" and "For The Beauty Of The Earth." "I Sing The Mighty Power Of God" is another popular classic which is performed beautifully without music.

    Combining popular hymns of today and yesterday, the "Word Medley" is one of Glad's best arrangements. It consists of "O Word Of God Incarnate," "How Firm A Foundation," and "Thy Word." The Crusader's hymn, better known as "Fairest Lord Jesus," seems a proper addition to the album, since acapella music has its root in that time period. "Immortal Invisible," "Breathe On Me, O Breath Of God," and "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling," have powerful classic messages sure to bless the listener. The last two songs of the album, "The Master Has Come," and "O Worship The King," encourage us to praise the Father.
