We’re late today because I’ve had a crazy week and slept in today. Oops!
I was going to do this one on Wednesday but I went a hymn instead. I sang this with my church choir 10 years ago on Ash Wednesday and I think of it every Lent because I love the words and music. The composer, Samuel Sebastian Wesley is the grandson of Charles Wesley who, for those unfamiliar with Protestantism, is considered the founder of the Methodist church. The verse it is based on is the KJV rendering of Isaiah 26:3.
I chose this particular video of it because I love seeing how the music comes together.
Oh, I haven’t heard this hymn in years. I used to sing it in Church.
