i keep humming the lines from a dear old hymn. growing up we used to gather around the piano, the mumsie would play, and we were all to sing along (3 part harmony, please). i learned many of these ancient songs and love them more everyday.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
…Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.

You and me both keep taking out that hymnal. Words of truth and comfort.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one. The lyrics are really meaningfull… as you can imagine I’ve been learning a few hymns myself at Richville… transitioning to contemporary worship and all.
