When the tune and lyrics and the subject matter are all in perfect harmony, how can one not be blessed? As this hymn focuses upon one of God's commands to pray without ceasing, the love we have for Jehovah (Christ Jesus) is shown only in our obedience to His Word.
I also grew up singing it "Stayed upon Jehovah..." One of my very favorite hymns.
Original was: 'Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest'
Webster City, Iowa, USA
I have always heard it sung "staid upon Golgotha hearts are fully blessed..." but why i love this song is for all the beautiful promises, and truths of God's character
