Another good day Sunday last looking at texts. It was Romans 3:19, 20 in the morning and Galatians 5:22-24 - once again from the hundred texts. One I had preached before and one not. We had descent numbers morning and evening. There were a lot of children in the morning - 7 for Sunday School and 4 in creche. I spoke to the older ones on Daniel and Belshazzar before they went out. Wonderful hymns all day. Eg this one by George Croly
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art;
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear.
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Hast Thou not bid me love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind.
I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find!
Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The kindling of the heaven descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
We were back with the baby grand in the morning and the upright in the evening (both retuned this week).
