Members Samer Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 I read this in a booklet today. It's a poem by Theodore Monod, 1874. Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Saviour's pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered: 'All of self, and none of Thee.' Yet He found me: I beheld Him Bleeding on the accursed tree, Heard Him pray: 'Forgive them, Father;' And my wistful heart said faintly: 'Some of self, and some of Thee.' Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full and free, Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, Brought me lower, while I whispered: 'Less of self, and more of Thee.' Higher than the highest Heaven, Deeper than the deepest sea, LORD, Thy love at last hath conquered; Grant me now this supplication: 'None of self, and all of Thee.'

Members pneu-engine Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 That is a most exceedingly beautiful song. If you have a Living Hymns song book, it is #300. :Green My wife, daughter and I were going thru that hymnal one time and looking at all of the songs we do not know. There 824 songs in it. With my sweet daughter at the piano we tried that song and could not stop the water-works (aka tears) half-way thru the song. Anyway, we liked it so much that my wife and daughter practiced it for a duet in a Sunday morning service. :sing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
