The spiritual legacy of Lawrence Welk lives on, and his tradition of reverence for God and country continues in Lawrence Welk's Songs of Faith , airing Saturday, March 4 at 6/5 p.m. CT on KET.
Six stars of the Welk musical family--Norma Zimmer, Ralna English, Guy Hovis, Tom Netherton, Mary Lou Metzger and Bob Ralston--celebrate America's favorite hymns and songs of inspiration with new performances and classic clips from The Lawrence Welk Show of yesteryear.
In new performances, Norma Zimmer lends her voice to "The Lord's Prayer" and Ralna English delivers an unforgettable rendition of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." Guy Hovis plays the guitar and sings "One Day at a Time," and Guy and Ralna reunite for the first time in years to sing their memorable "Church in the Wildwood." Mary Lou Metzger sings "Count Your Blessings . . . Instead of Sheep" and Bob Ralston plays a magnificent organ solo in "Suddenly There's a Valley." The finale of the show is "Amazing Grace," beautifully sung by Tom Netherton, accompanied by Ralston and the rest of the Welk musical family.
Cast members share personal memories and stories as they introduce their own songs and hymns, as well as a selection of gospel and spiritual songs presented over the years on The Lawrence Welk Show . Also featured is a loving tribute to the late Jimmy Roberts.
Lawrence Welk's Songs of Faith is a production of OETA/Oklahoma.
