Save

Hymns…! A ‘tool’ from the Hand of God to us, each one of them given for a Blessed Purpose! Indeed, their ‘worth’ shall never be diminished as we…Press On!

Hymns…! from You, Sweet Jesus… filter down…through the air, and we rise…above the staves. Hymns…! from You, Oh God that saturate the atmosphere… have often…many listing souls…saved. Hymns, long forgotten…how they fall from Your esteemed portals… bringing us billows of love. Hymns…with sounds melodious… from Holy Spirit’s cortical come…beguilingly…on wing of dove. Lord, how oft You fail not to prod… memories of enduring songs…and we turn to stir of notes …we once knew. From depths seen of Thee…we are watered, woo-ed and vestured by words…massaging… our hearts…through…Hymns…of You! PSALM 42:8, EPHESIANS 5:19 copyright; jmsbell-8/7/21

Once again you have captured the reality of the age old music which touches so many! Hymns are a part of the life of church and lift many with their woonderful touching words! When I attend Church , the music lifts me up!

Love many of the old hymns, have since I was a preteen growing up in the Pentecostal church in Chicago. Thank God my father was given the wisdom back then to leave Chicago for San Diego. Your poem, JMS Bell, is a fine reminder of the efficacy of getting back to our roots at times. Thanx 4 sharing. Kind regards.... richard

I heard once that writers of hymns were very clever. Some of the greatest hymns were lyrics written to the tunes of popular baudy songs sung in taverns at the time the hymn was written.

Churchgoers on Sunday easily recognized the melodies, but were forced to sing the words that were given to them.

The sacred hymns ring forever true, soothing hearts as well as ears. May we ever hear those sacred hymns.
