   . This Episode's ArtistSarah NoëlleLinks: YouTube (https://youtu.be/g3w9nvXuVnk) | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sarahnoellemusic) Thanks to Robert J.

LyricsWords: Robert RobinsonMusic: Traditional American Melody Come, thou Fount of every blessing,tune my heart to sing thy grace;streams of mercy, never ceasing,call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,sung by flaming tongues above.Praise the mount I'm fixed upon itmount of God's redeeming love. Here I find my greatest treasure;hither by thy help I've come;and I hope, by thy good pleasure,safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,wandering from the fold of God;he, to rescue me from danger,bought me with his precious blood. Oh, to grace how great a debtordaily I'm constrained to be!Let thy goodness, like a fetter,bind my wandering heart to thee:prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,prone to leave the God I love;here's my heart, O take and seal it;seal it for thy courts above.

LyricsWords: KMusic: Early American Melody 1 How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!What more can he say than to you he has said,to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed;for I am your God, and will still give you aid;I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;for I will be with you, your troubles to bless,and sanctify to you your deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply;the flame shall not hurt you; I only designyour dross to consume and your gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all my people shall provemy sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;and when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,I will not, I will not desert to his foes;that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,I'll never, no never, no never forsake."

   HS61: Nearer, My God, To Thee

   This hymn is one of my favorites, and one aspect of the story behind it is one of the most famous there is. This Episode's ArtistAnna RicheyLinks: YouTube (https://youtu.be/UAgm0AtPQ-g) | Website (https://www.annaricheymusic.com/) | Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/theannarichey/) Thanks to Robert J. MorganAs always, I want to thank Pastor Robert J Morgan for giving his permission to use his books Then Sings My Soul volumes 1 and 2 as the source material for Lifespring! HymnStories. Without that, this show might not exist. Check out his books here (https://www.robertjmorgan.com/), or wherever books are sold. LyricsWords by Sarah F. AdamsMusic by Lowell Mason Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; all that thou sendest me, in mercy given; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky, sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
