I know the hymn in my local language, so I have to google to get its English version.
I like the tune and wordings of the hymn.
It really expresses my heart desires.
Thank God for the hymn.

This hymn has been with me all week, but I couldn't remember all the words so had to look them up. There is so much reality and power in these words that I want to sing it each morning to start my day. Praise the Lord!
