THINK ABOUT IT           8-12-23

When I received these words from our missionary Jacob Jones, “I was reading and meditating on this hymn this morning!”, it reminded me of the times that I have suggested that we spend more personal time reading hymn books. They are a treasure trove of inspiration. Here’s the song:

1. As I journey through the land singing as I go,Pointing souls to Calvary– to the crimson flow,Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;But my Lord leads me on, through Him I must win.

Refrain:Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,There to sing forever of His saving grace;On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside;But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide. [Refrain]

3 When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height,And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,With a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low,Guiding me, I can see as I onward go. [Refrain]

4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,And He leads me gently on through this world below;He’s a real friend to me, oh, I love Him so. [Refrain]
