God has shown us some wonderful ways to abide
in His presence in the midst of all kinds of distractions or
discouragements.
One way is simply to memorize and silently sing His hymns. To help
bring them to mind when I need them, I have listed my favorite hymns
in alphabetical order. Now, when I wait in line somewhere or ride
in a car, I simply follow the alphabet. In His quieting presence,
I can silently sing my favorite hymns to myself and to my Lord.
Most
of the links below led to the old Cyberhymnal, so they are now
broken. The restored links will be colored dark red.

Years
ago, when I first memorized “Jesus, I am resting, resting...” (the
hymn China missionary Hudson Taylor would sing to himself when he
couldn’t sleep at night), I struggled to remember the start of each
new verse. But when I noted the beginning letter of the four verses,
they formed a familiar word: JOSE. With such reminders, I
have no problem going right through this and other truth-filled
hymns:
Verse 1.
Jesus,
I am resting, in the joy of what Thou art...
Verse 2.
O
how great Thy lovingkindness, vaster, broader than the sea....
Verse 3. Simply trusting
Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art....
Verse 4.
Ever
lift Thy face upon me, as I work and wait for Thee.
We
will continue to post hymns each week . Every verse will be
linked to a Scripture He shows us. May God use these verses to bless
you with His Truth and Presence! And may they prepare each of us
for the hard times ahead -- especially for the hostilities toward
Biblical Christianity certain to follow today's spiritual slide
away from God's Truth. and ways.
