I love hyms. Just the sound itself captures my soul quick and right into His presence. Thank you Abba, Jesus our Lord.

My favorite hymn (reminds me of paternal Grandma). May she rest in God’s eternal peace.
Pensacola, FL, United States
I love this song and I love singing hymns. I find them so comforting. God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I love all of you.
The older I get the hymns of my youth surface more and more! As a child you sing the words without fully grasping the meaning and now in my 70’s the meanings speak volumes and really resonate. This morning I woke up with this song on my mind - so thankful for my upbringing and the love of God!
I just love this beautiful hymn. It brings tears 😭

No more powerful words can be written about the Gospel message. Brings weeping every time I sing it.

I woke up this morning with this song in my spirit. Indeed the Holy Spirit desires that the church will be one. It's my prayer that the prayer of Jesus in John 17 will become a reality before His second coming in Jesus name. God bless the writer of this song.
London, United Kingdom
Absolutely blessing. Especially understanding the history. Thanks

Thanks for sharing
God bless

While trying to fall asleep this hymn came into my mind. I sung it in my Episcopal school chapel. To have a manditory chapel was a blessing not and not 'a drag' I would like to find a choir rendition of course. I believe every word in this song is true but the 'church' needs revival so badly now.
