I like the original lyrics, there is so much biblical truth packed into just a few short verses, We sing this hymn quite often at our church and with a little spirited accompaniment from the pianist it is enjoyed by young and old alike. But most of all we hope by our Father Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
To know the hymns we have to know some of the crucial points of the contents of the hymns. First, we must know some of the hymns on the blessing and experience of the Triune God. The word blessing is used here not to refer to the good things the Triune God has given us but to the praise, the blessing, we offer to Him. An example of a good hymn on the blessing of the Triune God is #7—"Glory, glory, to the Father!"—and an example of a good hymn on the experience of the Triune God is #608—"What mystery, the Father, Son, and Spirit." We also need to know hymns in the categories of the praise of the Father and the praise of the Lord.
