Sunday's Hymn

One of Frances Havergal’s lesser-known hymns.

O Savior, Precious Savior

O Savior, precious Savior,
Whom yet unseen we love!
O Name of might and favor,
All other names above!
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our holy Lord and King.

O Bringer of salvation,
Who wondrously hast wrought,
Thyself the Revelation
Of love beyond our thought;
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our gracious Lord and King.

In Thee all fullness dwelleth,
All grace and power divine;
The glory that excelleth,
O Son of God, is Thine;
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing:
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our glorious Lord and King.

O grant the consummation
Of this our song above,
In endless adoration,
And everlasting love!
Then shall we praise and bless Thee
Where perfect praises ring,
And evermore confess Thee
Our Savior and our King.

Saturday's Old Photo

This is a photo of my youngest daughter on her second birthday. She’s licking her chops in anticipation of her presents and cake.

She was a sweet little girl, but she also knew how to get what she wanted. She already had her daddy wrapped around her finger. She’s probably hoping her gifts are things that her big sister and brother will want to play with so she can tell them, “No, they’re my birthday presents!”

This coming week she turns 25. She’ll be flying off to Vancouver to spend the day with her big sister. That’s an impressive way to celebrate, but I bet she won’t have as much fun as she did on her second birthday.

Round the Sphere Again

History
Justin Taylor reminds us that today is the anniversary of William Cowper’s death and posts a short video about Cowper’s life.

William Cowper is one of my favorite hymn writers and his life story fascinates me. Here are a few things I’ve posted about him.

Punctuation
Hooray! A quiz on obscurish punctuation marks (mental_floss Blog). I shall not be posting my score on this one.
