DON'T YOU LOVE THE OLD HYMNS?

Each morning and evening at Family Devotions, after reading and prayer, we sing a chorus, a worship song, or a hymn. Most often we get out the hymn books. The other morning we sang "Who can cheer the heart like Jesus," one of my favorites. There are many today who are not familiar with the old hymns and therefore I thought I'd share the words with you. I especially love the words of the second and third verses? Nancy

Who can cheer the heart like Jesus
By His presence all divine
True and tender, pure and precious
O, how blest to call Him mine

Chorus:

ALL THAT THRILLS MY SOUL IS JESUS
HE IS MORE THAN LIFE TO ME
AND THE FAIREST OF TEN THOUSAND
IN MY BLESSED LORD I SEE

Love of Christ so freely given
Grace of God beyond degree
Mercy higher than the heavens
Deeper than the deepest sea

What a wonderful redemption
Never can a mortal know
How my sin, though red like crimson
Can be whiter than the snow

Every need His hand supplying
Every good in Him I see
On His strength divine relying
He is all in all to me

By the crystal flowing river
With the ransomed I will sing
And forever and forever
Praise the glorify my King.
