We love unearthing the great traditions from our past and then updating them with some modern sensibilities. Here in the Hymn House you will find thematic liturgies as well as re-tuned and freshly arranged hymns for personal and corporate use.
Prayers of the People is the latest release from HymnHouse. This short EP is meant as a way to take a break from the chaos of the world, maybe on your way to work, or as you wind down from the day. I hope these songs bring you peace for today and hope for tomorrow.
HymnHouse is the latest project from singer-songwriter Blake Flattley. This collaborative musical effort seeks to continue the great tradition of hymnody, telling the story of Christ and His Church. You can expect to hear re-tuned hymns, new arrangements, and new music that fits into a liturgical life of worship.
