This post has the story behind the Doxology I grew up singing at Bethel United Church.

I was christened as an infant at Bethel United Church just outside Omemee, Ontario. It was here that I first found Jesus and learned of His Father's amazing love for us all. I have many wonderful happy memories of my experiences there as a small child.

I learned to read by standing on the pew between my mother and my sister, singing along to the hymns and following along in the hymn book. One hymn that was sung almost every week was the Doxology, so it may well have been the first thing I learned to read. The Doxology was sung as the collection plate was brought to the alter after the collection was taken up.
Here is a virtual choir from Hamilton Ontario singing the Doxology as I remember it.
