In the early 18th century, when Isaac Watts was preaching in England, he frequently would write a hymn to illustrate his sermon. After preaching the sermon, he (or a clerk in the church) would teach the congregation the hymn.
One Sunday in 1727, Watts was preaching a sermon entitled, "Holy Fortitude, or Remedies against Fear." The text was 1 Corinthians 16:13, "Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith." At that time many Nonconformist believers were imprisoned for their views, even as Watts' own father had been. In his sermon, Watts urged his congregation to "practice unfashionable virtues, plead the cause of the oppressed, be courageous before infidels and scoffers." Then, as he closed the sermon, he began the hymn, "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?" - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
. . . was looking for a sub-title (Emmett Louis till / 1941 - 1955 / civil rights martyr / etc.) for this young man - we all suffered - along with his mother (and she opened that casket) so that they world could get a good look - at what was actually happening in the old south (lots of victims were never found) but this victim surfaced - after three days under water (to God be the glory) for the things he has done...
I was in Accra, Ghana for a young people's conference and training in 2002 and we sang this hymn over and over, it was almost like a theme song. What a wonderful time of fellowship and enjoyment of the Lord! I really enjoyed the spirit and genuineness of all the young people there. Praise the Lord!
I am very grateful to God for allowing the Holy Spirit to direct me into this site of awesome blessings. My heart is filled with indescribable joy listening to these tunes. God, I love You dearly with all my heart, soul and being. Make me a great instrument of Your love to all men at every moment of my life. Bless the sponsors and engineers of this and other sites like it to reach out to many more wandering souls. Amen.
For example, when he worked on hymns, he struggled to find words that rhymed. It was hard for him to differentiate between the sounds of slightly different syllables. Many of the hymns that he worked on have imperfect rhymes for these sounds. Sometimes, I would point out these errors, and he was genuinely willing to learn. The structure of Chinese poetry is such that long lines cannot rhyme with short lines, and odd and even lines should have an alternating rhyme pattern. For example, if a hymn has alternating lines of eight syllables and six syllables, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme. The only exception is when the lines of the poem are the same length; then the couplets can rhyme. However, Brother Nee did not follow this rule. Instead, he rhymed lines containing eight syllables with lines containing six syllables. For example, the first verse of the Chinese Hymns, #468 says, "If I veer slightly from the way,/ I'll then in comfort stay; / But I remember my Lord, how / He with suff'ings did bow." [Editor's note: This translation is provided to reflect the eight-six meter rhyme scheme.] This hymn has an eight-six meter; therefore, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme.
Although Brother Nee accepted my fellowship and wanted to revise hymns containing improper rhyme patterns, he was unable to do so because he had written them in a way that if he changed a single character, the meaning would suffer some loss. Chinese Hymns, #468 and also English Hymns, #472, which says, "Many crowd the Savior's kingdom, / Few receive His cross," were both favorite hymns among us in the 1950s because they really touch one's heart. We were often brought to tears while singing them. Since we have seen more of God's central lane and His New Testament economy, we do not sing these hymns as much as before. When I worked on the second edition of the Chinese Hymns, I followed all the rules of Chinese poetry.
