John’s Favorite Hymns:

1. Day by Day - Author: Lina Sandell (1865) Scripture: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -2 Cor. 12:9 Focus Line: “Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.” -v. 1
2. The Love of God Author: Frederick M. Lehman (1917) Scripture: … the Lord appeared to him from far away.  I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. -Jeremiah 31:3 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. -John 21:25
3. How Great Thou Art - Scripture: Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! -Psalm 48:1 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. -Romans 1:19-20 Focus Line: “That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.” -v. 3
4. Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - Author: Robert Robinson (1757) Scripture: The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. -Proverbs 10:22 … but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8 Focus Line: “Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bound my wandering heart to Thee.” -v. 3

6. Seek Ye First - Author: Karen Lafferty (1971) Matthew 6:33 - “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Language Note: The term "Alleluia" (or “Hallelujah”) appears in many hymns, but do we actually think about what it means?  The literal meaning is “God be praised”, so it makes sense it shows up so often.
7. Great Is Thy Faithfulness - Author: Thomas Chisholm (1923) Lamentations 3:22–23 - “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Focus Line:  “All I have needed Thy hand hath provided” -Chorus along with Verse 3: “Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow…”
