    IN THIS EPISODE: "How Bless'd Thy Creature Is, O God" by William Cowper (1731-1800) There he knelt down and poured out his heart unto the Lord in prayer and praise. It pleased the Savior to hear him, and to grant him at once a renewed sense of his presence, deliverance from his fears, and a sweet assurance that, wherever his lot might be cast, the God of all consolation would still be with him. Special thanks to Heath Walton for his work on setting this hymn to music and performing it.  Show Notes:  "How Blest Thy Creature Is, O God" by William Cowper, performed by Heath Walton"Adagio" by Roo Walker"Lost in Thoughts" by AK"Two Acres" by ArendFind more helps for your soul at https://linktr.ee/gospelincontext.  Hymn Stories is a part of the Media Gratiae Podcast Network.

    Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord God Almighty!

    IN THIS EPISODE: "Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty" by Reginald Heber (1783-1826) "I have never seen such tenderness, never such humble exercise of Christian love. Alas! How his spirit shames us all! I thank God that I have seen his tears, that I heard his prayers, his conversation with the afflicted mother, and his own private reflections upon it. It has made me love him more, and has given me a lesson of tenderness, in visiting the afflicted, that I trust will not be in vain.” Show Notes:  "Fantasy in My Mind" by Alan Špiljak"Holy! Holy! Holy!" performed by Sophia Bush Find more helps for your soul at https://linktr.ee/gospelincontext.  Hymn Stories is a part of the Media Gratiae Podcast Network.

    Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken (Pt. 1)

    IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken" by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) How did the young woman act during the storm? With simple modesty; she was patient but firm. She bore the storm that was without by the blessed peace that was within. She was still loving and more obedient than ever, except on this one point. She would not forsake Christ. Having tasted the better portion, she would not give it up. She went after Christ, denied herself, and took up her cross to follow Him; then came the trouble.
