How I Love Thy Law, O Lord!

by | Oct 5, 2022 | Mom Blog, Audio, Posts, Sing

So many wonderful hymns are full of truth from the Scriptures! As you enjoy singing hymns with your children, your children will begin to lay up these truths in their hearts. And these hymns can remain with them, ready in their hearts to one day be sung with the next generation.

Hymns comfort, encourage, lift up our eyes to Jesus and renew our spirits. Let’s keep singing hymns!!

Hymn History 

“How I Love Thy Law, O Lord”, is based on Psalm 119. Psalm 119 was written by the psalmist David. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm in the Bible and contains many verses about God’s Word and David’s devotion to it.

Psalm 119 is divided into smaller portions and each portion is named after a letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. “How I Love Thy Law, O Lord” is based off of the verses in the section called “Mem” which is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Reading the section “Mem” and then comparing it to “How I Love Thy Law, O Lord” shows how closely the hymn follows these Bible verses. Take a look! (start at Psalm 119:97) Whoever adapted this hymn for singing, was evidently meditating on God’s Word.

Another interesting fact is the melody used for this song is also used for the hymn “Come Christians Join to Sing”.

Hymn History 

Eliza Hewitt (1851 – 1920) is the author of the hymn “Singing I Go”. She also wrote other beautiful lyrics in the songs “When We All Get to Heaven” and “There is Sunshine in My Soul Today”.

She had a heart to help others but during a time of injury she could not be actively involved in service. During this season she grew closer to the Lord in her relationship with Him. She also began writing children’s poems. Later music was added to her poems to create hymns. Eliza Hewitt enjoyed having the hymn writer Fanny Crosby as a friend.

Eliza’s choice to rejoice and her heart for others comes out in this beautiful hymn!

It’s Just Like His Great Love

by | Feb 2, 2022 | Mom Blog, Audio, Posts, Sing, Valentines Day

Are you looking for a hymn to sing with your family this Valentines Day?

“It’s Just Like His Great Love” is a wonderful hymn to consider. The words found in the three verses of this hymn are a great reminder of the glorious truth that Christ loves us.

 

It’s Just Like His Great Love

Chorus
It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,
It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus all along the way,
It’s just like His great love.

Verse 1
A friend I have called Jesus,
Whose love is strong and true,
And never fails how-e’er ’tis tried,
Now matter what I do;
I’ve sinned against this love of His,
But when I knelt to pray,
Confessing all my guilt to Him,
The sin-clouds rolled a-way.

Verse 2
Sometimes when clouds of trouble
Blot out the sky above,
I cannot see my Saviour’s face,
I doubt His wondrous love;
But He, from heaven’s mercy seat,
Beholding my despair,
In love removes the clouds between,
And shows me He is there.

Verse 3
O I could sing forever
Of Jesus’ love divine,
Of all His care and tenderness
For this poor life of mine;
His love is in and over all,
And wind and waves obey
When Jesus whispers “Peace, be still!”
And rolls the clouds away.
