Hymns

I'm going to start a weekly hymn posting--just a verse or two that soothed and comforted me during the week. I'll start by publishing a post I wrote last week after coming home from church. The first is the lead verse of a song I sang with the choir and the second was played during communion:

"When I can read my title clear
to mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear,
and wipe my weeping eyes."

+

"Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more..."

a good reason to be in church (and possibly almost maybe a good reason to live and not be dead yet)
