Your word our rich supply
Amen Lord Jesus
The Church In Worcester, Massachusetts, United States
Thy Word is food to nourish our Growth in Life! Your Word brings us on, transforming us to meet the requirement of becoming the overcoming Bride if Christ. What a thoughtful provision from our loving God!
Indian River, Michigan, United States
Such a sweet hymn
Detroit, Michigan, United States
This is a beautiful and true hymn. I have previously sung this to a faster tune, but this tune is much more fitting, because being slower, it gives you time to think about the wonderful lines.
Peter says that we can hasten the Lord's return, which is wonderful, but to say we aim to be those who bring the Lord back transfers too much credit from God to us.
----------------------------
I would change the last stanza to:
Lord, may we hasten Your return,
satisfying your heart.
Now, by Your Word, give what we yearn
to be Your counterpart.
Dorchester, MA, United States
amening every line and phrase! that's right!
