IN THIS EPISODE: "Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty" by Reginald Heber (1783-1826)"I have never seen such tenderness, never such humble exercise of Christian love. Alas! How his spirit shames us all! I thank God that I have seen his tears, that I heard his prayers, his conversation with the afflicted mother, and his own private reflections upon it. It has made me love him more, and has given me a lesson of tenderness, in visiting the afflicted, that I trust will not be in vain.”Show Notes: "Fantasy in My Mind" by Alan Špiljak"Holy! Holy!

IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken" by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)How did the young woman act during the storm? With simple modesty; she was patient but firm. She bore the storm that was without by the blessed peace that was within. She was still loving and more obedient than ever, except on this one point. She would not forsake Christ. Having tasted the better portion, she would not give it up. She went after Christ, denied herself, and took up her cross to follow Him; then came the trouble.Show Notes: "Beautiful Hope" by Ketsa"The Quest" by Arend"Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken" by Bob KauflanFind more helps for your soul at https://linktr.ee/gospelincontext. Hymn Stories is a part of the Media Gratiae Podcast Network.
