A beautifully written song that truly inspires.
Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Excellent hymn
WA, United States
Leonard Ravenhill references this hymn in his sermon "Pure Heart and Pure Church," recorded on Sermonaudio.com. The last four stanzas are so rich. God thank You for the hymns that draw us into Your heart, and bring us to welcome You into our own hearts.
Ochtrup, Nordrheinwestfalen, Thailand
This hymn, fits so what was preached this morning. For God to shine the light on us, to uncover hidden sins. and through our faults and Trials, to know and believe God's promises. He never lies, and what He promises He also Gives. I am astounded day by day by God's wonderful Compassion, but most of all His Love. Amen which surrounds my Family and myself. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!
