My Mum shared this Hymn with me a few weeks before she went to be with the Lord (82) on 4/March 2020, it reminds me of her kind humility, the peace she enjoyed through Christ, trusting in Him is good advice to remember, from God through the writer via my dear Mother, looking forward to talking to her again in our dear Lords presence:) but even more to seeing our saviour!
What else? When troubled, I called HIM and he came to my aid. I love this hymn and I am very grateful for the energy I draw from the text in times of adversity. So far, so good. May the blessings be.
My father and mother-inlaw visited us when I was in dire stress , and my father-inlaw said to me " what you are going through now is what is called the changing scenes of life." And the first line of this great hymn came to mind. I reached for my Methodist Hymn Book afterwards and read through the hymn and ever since it has remained my best hymn. It brings me joy and deep encouragement.
Through life's ups and downs, in moments of despair, when I am tempted to give up, even when all hope seem lost and fear engulf me, this powerful hymn is what carries me on.
I believe no matter what happens to me, through all the changing scenes of life, God is always there for me and mankind. All we need to do is trust completely in his unfailing love and call on him. I am Catholic but I so much love this powerful hymn of the Methodist Church. 🙏🏾
