Bethany Hymns

Bethany has been blessed over the years with students from Concordia Theological Seminary assigned as field workers. Some of those students have written hymns used here at Bethany. Also, Pastors Varsogea and Trouten have written hymn texts which have been used to the edification of God's people. Follow this link to see them.
