Episode 25 - A Fateful Night Stories about Hymn

    • Music History

It's been too long!

Trying to catch up on the last few months, in this story we discuss the tragic circumstances that created a song we commonly sing to help encourage us.  An incident in this hymn author's life allowed him to pen these words to help encourage his own mother, and now we can sing it too.

Here is the link I reference in the episode where you can see a draft of the hymn in the author's own handwriting:
