2019 Lenten Devotional 7

Instead of writing another sermon for a devotional, I thought I would simply share a hymn that a member from my Monday night ministry shared with me. What is remarkable about this sharing is that this person is and has been completely in the dark about the things this season of life is bringing me.

Until Monday, I had never seen this hymn before. Upon some further research on Hymnary.org, the lyric-writer, Frances R. Havergal, has tended to have a slightly Calvinistic theme in her lyrics. (The person who gave me this piece of paper goes to a Presbyterian church.) Yet, what I found was rather interesting was how it also seems to appear in the Lutheran hymnal, at least according to the same site.
