Add song structure elements. Midnight Sky. Therefore I Am. No matter what people say has no justification on me anymore. I have the boldness and right to approach the throne of grace anytime I need. Simply amazing. Each time, the lyrics and melody of this hymn just never leaves me the same. Thank you Jesus, for such brilliant and seasoned minds that composed an hymn like this. My spirit was highly lifted this morning as I listened to this song on radio being one of my favorite hymns.
I quickly google it out and began to sing. Thanks to Charles and John Wesley. We also need to turn to the Lord often because we need to be refreshed by Him. We should have no trust in ourselves. Apart from the Lord we can do nothing. Madame Guyon often renewed her vows to the Lord, which were her consecration. It is good to determine and vow to love the Lord for our whole life, but it will not be us who fulfill this vow.
It is the Lord who accomplishes everything. Charles Wesley, an excellent hymn writer, in Hymns, , says, "Tis mystery all! It is altogether up to Him. The Lord grants particular mercy and compassion to certain persons Rom. We cannot know the reason; we can only enjoy Him. The death of Christ was the death of a God-man cf. Hence, when Christ was hanging on the cross, God was with Him cf. John , 16; Because Christ died on the cross as a God-man, God was in Christ when Christ was crucified and hung on the cross for us.
On the cross Christ bore our sins and was made sin on our behalf 1 Pet. He also died in the likeness of the flesh of sin Rom. In the flesh there are sin and Satan.
When the Lord went to the cross to die for our redemption, He did not hang there alone. The old creation, the old man, the flesh, sin, and Satan were on Him, and they were crucified with Him 6: 6; Gal. Thus, the death of Christ terminated the old creation, the old man, the flesh, sin, and Satan. Whenever I recall my years with the Lord, I am filled with gratitude. For more than fifty years, I have been the object of His mercy and grace. Throughout the course of these years, I have been carried by the wings of a great eagle.
Many things which have taken place have been not at all according to my expectation. I thank the Lord that so many things did not work out according to my way, but according to His way. He always knows what I need. I never expected to come to this country, but the Lord has brought me here. Have You ever dreamed that You would be where You are today? In the words of a hymn written by Charles Wesley,.
What a mercy to be carried on the wings of a great eagle! At the mountain of God, the children of Israel could say, 'Lord, we are not here of ourselves. Your strong wings have brought us out of Egypt and carried us through the wilderness to this place, where we are here with You. When we preach the gospel, we should also be familiar with hymns on the assurance of salvation, such as Hymns, It is not difficult for young people to sing hymns, because many of them have a good foundation in music.
It is especially not difficult for the sisters to sing hymns, because God created them in this way. In Ecclesiastes Solomon is referring to the vocal chords when he mentions "the daughters of song. Such is the amazing love of God in Christ!
Charles Wesley b. Epworth, Lincolnshire, England, ; d. Marylebone, London, England, wrote his powerful and joyful hymn text in in the days immediately following his conversion to belief in Christ May 21 ; he sang it with his brother John b. Epworth, ; d. London, shortly after John's "Aldersgate experience.
Traditionally one of the great hymns of Methodism, this text appears in a number of modern hymnals. Like so many of Charles Wesley's hymn texts, "And Can It Be" is full of allusions to and quotations from Scripture; a few of the more obvious texts are Philippians , Acts , Romans , and Hebrews Wesley's use of metaphors is also noteworthy — he deftly contrasts light and darkness, life and death, slavery and freedom, and especially Christ's righteousness and our unrighteousness.
Liturgical Use: Service of confession and forgiveness; adult baptism; in conjunction with doctrinal preaching; many other occasions. Several members of the Wesley family are significant figures in the history of English hymnody, and none more so than Charles Wesley. Charles was the eighteenth child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, who educated him when he was young.
Their purpose was to study the Bible in a disciplined manner, to improve Christian worship and the celebration of the Lord's Supper, and to help the needy. Charles Wesley was ordained a minister in the Church of England in but found spiritual conditions in the church deplorable. Charles and John served briefly as missionaries to the British colony in Georgia.
Enroute they came upon a group of Moravian missionaries, whose spirituality impressed the Wesleys. They returned to England, and, strongly influenced by the ministry of the Moravians, both Charles and John had conversion experiences in see more on this below. The brothers began preaching at revival meetings, often outdoors. These meetings were pivotal in the mid-eighteenth-century "Great Awakening" in England. Though neither Charles nor John Wesley ever left the Church of England themselves, they are the founders of Methodism.
Charles wrote some sixty-five hundred hymns, which were published in sixty-four volumes during his lifetime; these include Collection of Psalms and Hymns , Hymns on the Lord's Supper 1 , Hymns and Spiritual Songs , and Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People called Methodists Charles's hymns are famous for their frequent quotations and allusions from the Bible, for their creedal orthodoxy and their subjective expression of Christian living, and for their use of some forty-five different meters, which inspired new hymn tunes in England.
Numerous hymn texts by Wesley are standard entries in most modern hymnals; fourteen are included in the Psalter Hymnal. Charles's elder brother John also studied at Christ Church College, Oxford, and was ordained a priest in the Church of England in After his contact with the Moravian missionaries, Wesley began translating Moravian hymns from German and published his first hymnal, Collection of Psalms and Hymns , in Charleston, South Carolina ; this hymnal was the first English hymnal ever published for use in worship.
Upon his return to England in Wesley "felt his heart strangely warmed" at a meeting on Aldersgate Street, London, when Peter Bohler, a Moravian, read from Martin Luther's preface to his commentary on the epistle to the Romans. It was at that meeting that John received the assurance that Christ had truly taken away his sins.
That conversion experience followed a few days later by a similar experience by his brother Charles led to his becoming the great itinerant evangelist and administrator of the Methodist "societies," which would eventually become the Methodist Church.
An Anglican all his life, John Wesley wished to reform the Church of England and regretted the need to found a new denomination. Most of the hymnals he prepared with his brother Charles were intended for Christians in all denominations; their Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People called Methodists is one of the few specifically so designated.
John was not only a great preacher and organizer, he was also a prolific author, editor, and translator. He translated many classic texts, wrote grammars and dictionaries, and edited the works of John Bunyan and Richard Baxter. Most significant, however, is his well-known strong hand in editing and often strengthening his brother Charles's hymn texts before they copublished them in their numerous hymnals. And can it be that I should gain.
Wesley at that time underwent. His diary of that date gives minute details of the mental and spiritual struggles through which he passed, evidences of which, and the ultimate triumph, are clearly traceable in both hymns. It was first published in J. When included in the Wesleyan Hymn Book , , stanza v. It has passed from that hymnal into numerous collections in Great Britain and most English-speaking countries.
