My Hymn book is out
That I may review
The hymns that we have
To share with you,a few.
...Thought it would be neat
Yes, in writing this verse
Their titles to make use
As His praise I rehearse.

"How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds"
As "The Kingdoms of Earth Pass Away,"
And "My Faith Looks up Thee"
As I'm in "The Glory Land Way."

"Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"
So I'll "Throw out the Life Line" if I can,
"In the Shadow of His Wings"
"Lord I'm coming Home,""Hold Thou my Hand."

"I've Found a Friend" and "He's My King"
"I am So Glad" "Love Lifted Me"
That "Christ for the World, I Sing"
"By Christ Redeemed" "At Calvary."

"When the Roll is Called up Yonder"
"What a Gathering that will Be,"
"I Will Sing the Wondrous Story~
He's a Wonderful Savior to me."


 "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw-

And the other will save your soul.

David, this is the greatest!  You so remind me of those who've said, when you look at a baby's ear, you know there's a God, and to see the world in a grain of sand..  You do see Him everywhere.  Thank you for sharing these neat poems.

David~
What a wonderous song you sing
in praise of Him on high.

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"
None other love so pure.
"Yes, Jesus Loves Me"
This I know for sure.

Each of these hymns hold a wealth of praise and devotion, what a wonderful way you have brought them together, as a reminder that these precious friends are so close and dear. Well done!

 Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and nobler emotions, or their opposites, with words arranged to some accepted convention.........or maybe not! Dennis :^)
