He loved me, He saved me, He leads me now, He will crown me one day. This wonderful pattern is consistently followed by most all great hymns of faith. It is our story that we will tell with joy for eternity.

As much as I love the modern songs of faith, quite often they are too short to fully tell the full story of our salvation. Thanks to Jesus for the great hymns that have endured the test of time. The church testifying they are worthy to tell the great story by still singing them a century later.

Amen.

Echoes what I feel in my heart about Jesus my Lord and Saviour so beautifully!

Hi, Tim. This is also one of my favorites. I always sang it during my worship training tour as an example of an anointed hymn. The tune is from Antoine Édouard Batiste from Paris, France.

1820-1876. you can verify it at cyberhymnal.org website. God bless.

This old hymn has to be one of my favourites in terms of melody. Does anyone know the origin of the tune? The words tell the beautiful story of Christ's love and promise as well. Sang this growing up in a small town Church in Canada. I always thought the tune could be English?

I Love this song, the lyrics are from the heart! The melody is lovely, simple, sweet. I will keep this hymn adoring Jesus in my soul all the day long! No matter what we face how wonderful to worship our Lord and sing praises enduring for ever more.

For a lot of reasons I won't go into here, I had a hard time believing that Jesus could possibly love me. He has been making me understand that yes, in fact, He does. This lovely song is a reminder of that truth, Jesus loves us all. It also teaches us to trust him, we don't have to know where when why or how, we just need to trust Him and follow our good Shepherd. He's in control. Blessings!

I love this song, at our singings with our youth group this song is in one of our songbooks, and every time we sing out of them this one is always picked. :)
