Another
favorite of mine. I have always loved this hymn and a sweet memory
associated
with it. The memory is elusive, almost like a dream and as with many of my memories this one occurred
in the little chapel from my youth.
My Grandma
Jennie loved music. On this occasion she organized a small group of
young girls
to sing a few hymns in church. I would have been about 8 or 9 years old. I
am pretty
sure that my sisters Julie and Dineen took part as well, along with a handful
of others. With Hugh Dougall’s words and melody, we sang our hearts out. The
experience
left me with a warm feeling inside. I am thankful for a loving grandmother
who provided
us with opportunities at a young age that allowed our understanding of Jesus to
grow.
Jesus of
Nazareth,
Savior and
King!
Triumphant
over death,
Life thou
didst bring,
Leaving thy
Father’s throne,
On earth to
live,
Thy work to
do alone,
Thy life to
give.
Prelude No.
8: Jesus of Nazareth, Savior and King
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing :)
