Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Love this hymn.

There’s a version by a young man called Sufjan Stevens that is worth listening to. It featured on one of the episodes of “Friday Night Lights.”
To: Gamecock
Awesome and an Ebenezer is a “rock of remembrance”. This is my favorite hymn.

(First, Do No Harm)
To: Gamecock
My missionary cousin refers to much of today’s Christian music as “7-11 Music” ... 7 words repeated 11 times. I hate to say it, but sometime I feel like I’ve wandered into a rock concert instead of a worship service. Today’s music sure doesn’t hold a candle to the great old hymns of the faith.

This missionary has to remember what your colleague says. 7-11, how true! I find most songs today have shallow theology.
This hymns is rock solid.

To: Gamecock
One of my favorite hymns.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily Im 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;
Heres my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Psa 27:4-5 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

not to be confused with that gret adobe hymn

To: Gamecock
He was converted at age 20 under the preaching of revivalist George Whitefield. Robinson wrote the words to the hymn in 1758, apparently soon after his conversion. It was published the next year. The music to which it is usually sung was written in 1813 by John Wyeth, a Pennsylvania newspaper publisher.

I wish the Methodist Church would put me in charge of editing our new hymnal. I would throw out everything written after Gerald Kennedy's "God of Love and God of Power" (1939) and replace that stuff with great yet forgotten tunes of the faith by writers and composers such as Charles Gabriel, Lelia Morris, Ira Sankey, James McGranahan and Daniel Webster Whittle.

In South Africa, this hymn, sung to the tune Nettleton, is a great favourite with the youth. I don’t think most of them even realise that they’re singing an old hymn.

Actually, it means Stone of Help.
