I haven’t got a hymn request this morning, so I’m on my own. I have selected Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer (“Cwm Rhondda,” in Welsh), sung by St. Michael’s Singers. Background sets by God the Father.
Please pray for us. We haven’t gotten Peep to eat anything yet today.
I just got up 5;00am here, and since yesterday, I was really sick, don’t know how today will be yet, but I will look for a hymn once I get going. Yesterday, when I tried to post, the computer said hmmm can’t reach this page and I didn’t feel like fighting with it.
looks like this one got there
Yes, here it is.
Please, Erlene, get well! (Please, Father, bless her and heal her!)
Thank you for prayer. I sure need them. I pray for all 4 of you often, too. I have a hymn suggestion ffinally, and it is Some Glad Tomorrow by Carroll
I’ll try to post that soon.
I love this old hymn. I haven’t heard it in years. I had forgotten it. Thanks for placing it here. Here is a bit about it.
“Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer” has evolved over time from an original version, written in 1745, with five verses by Welsh evangelist William Williams. The hymn compares the pilgrimage of the Christian life to the Hebrews escape from slavery in Egypt. The Old Testament tells us they were guided by a fiery and cloudy pillar and fed on manna or bread of heaven supplied by God, before finally arriving forty years later in the land of Canaan.
William’s original title when it was published in 1745, was “Strength to Pass Through the Wilderness.” These days, the hymn is often erroneously called “Bread Of Heaven.”
