This is a hymn. I wonder why such things are never sung about these days. We seem to crave a shallow Christian experience. That is not God’s plan for us.

There’s rarely a word spoken about the value of suffering or of the fires of hell in any of the churches I’ve encountered. That is tragedy. I thank our Lord for people like Jim and Elisabeth Elliot and Joni Erickson- Tada who share about their suffering. Thanks be to our glorious Saviour that in EVERYTHING He is in control.

Grant us thy truth to make us free, and kindling hearts that burn for thee , Till all the living alters claim One holy light, one heavenly flame. Oliver Wendell Homes Last verse of’Lord of All Being ‘

Amen! Modern songs of worship seem to consist of the word “I” in every sentence. Reminds me of Isaiah 14:13-14: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Fiery test it is for sure. For me the test and trial has been unending through my 40 years as a Christian. It is tiring. I would certainly like some smooth sailing for at least a season.

Thank you for sharing this. What qualifies as a hymn I wonder. 🤔 I have found few songs written in the last several decades that seem to approach the throne of God with an attitude of worship, praise, humble heart and integrity. 😞 🙏♥️✨✝️✨

Martyn Iles
Tried is every faithful man,
As gold and silver tried,
Purged by grief, and purged by pain,
And seven times purified:
All who stand the fiery test,
Receive Thine image from above,
Bear Thy favorite name impressed,
Thy favorite name of love.
Brought into the fire I am,
And Thou wilt bring me through,
I shall call upon Thy name,
With all the creatures new;
I shall prove Thine utmost word,
Brightened with Thy glory, shine,
Claimed by Thee, shall claim my Lord
Through endless ages mine.
–Charles Wesley
