Also "Hold To God's Unchanging Hand".

What memories these old hymns bring up!!

Sister,

I sing those songs still. Very often I will privately sing with no one listening except my wife or some of the kids "He Whispers Sweet Peace To Me." It is one of my favorites. I also will sing "No Never Alone," also another one of my favorites.

I very often will privately sing, a verse or two and then the chorous that says,

"Oh come unto me
and I will give you rest
take my yoke upon you
hear me and be blessed
for I am meek and lowly
come, trust my might
come my yoke is easy
and my burden light."

Bro. Strange,

In later years with declining health, my late father would get

to thinking about the goodness and love of God and would

start singing songs like, "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey

Now" and "I Am Blessed" and you could tell it brought his spirit

up to a new level! I, now find myself singing those old songs, the

words just speak to me. They are more than mere words. Jesus

told His disciples, "The words I speak unto you, they are spirit

and they are life". Remember the old song, "Wonderful Words

Of Life". The old songs contain words that have been lived,

experienced, and found out that they are true words. Thank

God for words of encouragement whether they be in song, or

just spoken by a saint of God at a time when they are SO

desperately needed. Jesus knows just what we need and when.

Blessings,

They are indeed Words of Life that inspire, build and give a blessed assurance of His presence. These old songs are so spiritually romantic involving a heavenly lover, all expressed in a poetic flair that unveils the spiritual refinement of the writer. It is much different than the modern day vulgarity found in the romp, stomp and chant.

Sing them o'er again to me wonderful words of life.... I have a minister friend spending a few days with me after closing out a recent revival. He is also a musician. While discussing the musical vulgarity of today's worship music, he told me that some time back, he refused to play that sort of music in a certain worship service. He polititely declined without being offensive or even letting anyone know why he was declining.

But, it seems that today's generation has become so embused with the musical taste of Ghanghis Kahn that the musical poetic prose of angelic expression is unknown, or unrecognizable to them. Meanwhile, the chant and the romp stomp continues. The blood of Jesus is systematically, though gradually being eliminated...and that, by an infernal design.
