BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON ORIGINAL (Heart of Africa) "My Trust"

Описание: The 1897 edition of “Hymns of the Christian Life” includes a Preface that begins with the following words: “The musical taste of our day is in a state of transition… the people WILL have new tunes and hymns that move in a more spirited time than those which our fathers sang.”

These observations were true then and remain relevant today. The hymns of A. B. Simpson have been bringing the message of Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King into the pews of Alliance churches for well over 130 years. Among the most enduring of hymnals is the 1936 edition, commonly referred to as “The Blue Hymnal,” which many Alliance churches used well into the 1970s.

However, with the rising use of audio-visual technology in most Alliance churches, the hymnal has nearly disappeared, seemingly taking Simpson's hymns along with it. The BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON series represents an effort to faithfully place Simpson’s lyrics into the “new tunes” of our day, allowing the heart and passion of Simpson to be expressed through music once again.

Glory to His Name!

MY TRUST

Lord, You have given to me a trust,
A high and holy dispensation,
To tell the world, and tell I must,
The story of Your great salvation;
You might have sent from heaven above
Angelic hosts to tell the story,
But in Your condescending love,
On men You have conferred the glory.

You have commanded us to go,
Oh never let our hearts betray You,
And You have left an awful woe,
On all who lightly disobey You;
Oh let us feel and fear that woe,
As we would guard our own salvation,
And let us answer to that "go,"
As witnesses in every nation.

Let me be faithful to my trust,
Telling the world the story,
Press on my heart the woe;
Put in my feet the go;
Let me be faithful to my trust,
And use me for Your glory.

We all are debtors to our race;
God holds us bound to one another;
The gifts and blessing of His grace
Were given you to give your brother;
We owe to every child of sin
One chance, at least, for hope of heaven,
Oh by the love that brought us in,
Let help and hope to them be given.

Let me be faithful to my trust,
Telling the world the story,
Press on my heart the woe;
Put in my feet the go;
Let me be faithful to my trust,
And use me for Your glory.
