God popped this into my head this morning - I found myself in floods of tears imagining the pain and suffering Jesus when through to bring reconciliation and forgiveness with and from God.
Thank You God that You sent Jesus and Thank You Jesus that You came. Be with us all Holy Spirit to strengthen us today.
As a school director, I enjoy this hymn each time, during the morning or afternoon assembly, it is sang. It has a lot of messages in it. Indeed, it makes me go sober.
Tom led me to the Lord when I was 10. This was his favourite hymn. I sang a few lines tonite but couldn't remember the remainder. Thank you for sharing them. More precious than my early memories is the Lord who has dearly loved me.
Jacky, I know we are far away, but if it makes you feel any better, we just sang this song in church recently. In fact it is quite popular here. I would imagine there are others besides the Mormons who have it in their hymnals still too! It is one of my all time favorites, a classic! Glad there is another person out there who loves it!
Also, thank you everyone else for the Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander stories! Loved that!
I wanted to share this story of how Mrs. Alexander wrote another hymn because it shows the relationship between her and her husband:
Sometime after her marriage to the Reverend Alexander, Cecil sat in their home writing when her husband returned. He joked with her after greeting her, "Well, what is the effort of this day, my dear?" She told him that she had written a poem on his sermon subject for last Sunday, the Burial of Moses. "Honestly, dear" he joked, "I did not think you were listening." She handed him the poem. He read it and said, "My dear, this is the noblest piece of poetry you have ever written." It was indeed. "The Burial of Moses" is one of the finest poems in the English language.
"Next Sunday is St. Andrew's Sunday. I wonder if you could write a poem based on the call of Andrew before you heard the sermon?" It was a large order, but all who have sung, "Jesus calls us o'er the tumult" know how well she fulfilled that order or request. - "Hymn Stories" by Wilbur Konkel
