Today’s Hymn

We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.

Stretch forth your hand; our health restore,
and make us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine
and fill the world with love divine.

 

Charles Coffin’s “On Jordan’s Bank the Baptist’s Cry”
(tune: Winchester New)
trans. John Chandler
from Glory to God: The Presbyterian Hymnal

Reflection

This hymn makes me think about how grateful I am to our Savior and Lord. It makes me think of how Christ keeps watch over me, keeps me safe, and keeps me aware of his love for us all. The hymn makes me thankful and aware of how we should be happy with all that we have.

Prayer
Lord, in this time of preparation for your birth, keep me focused on your love for us. Amen.
