I love to revisit the first words of
Hymn 312, written by the poet William Cowper:
Sometimes a
light surprises
The Christian
while he sings
How true that is!
And, Speak gently (Hymn 315/316)
- wonderful words! The tune is very old – from the Sarum Gradual
of 1527.
Still, still with Thee (Hymn 317). Larry Groce’s rendition of this hymn rings in
my ears. It is from, I think, his first album of Christian Science hymns,
Peace, and Joy, and Power, a
vinyl record I used to have playing while I balanced my branch church’s
books as Treasurer. A long time ago. How long ago was that?
Was it sixpence I was trying to find, or 5 cents?
