Penned two weeks before the hymnwriters death: the words of a man facing into the abyss but knowing in whom he could trust.

Stunning.

i first heard this beautiful hymn in a movie called "Latter Days" i recommend it. It's a story of conversion. But i don't believe Jesus is coming soon. They thought that in Peter's time. Remember: You do not kjnow the day or time of the Lord's coming.

Intense.

My brother sang this song at our Grandfathers funeral in 1996

@Pisces31660 It is believed that God knows the past, present and future thus implying that to God time is not linear. Soon in this context maybe a day or even 10000 days.The scriptures also state that after death comes eternity, compared to infinity, a thousand or ten thousand years can be considered as "soon"

Cheers

@Pisces31660 Dear friend, many of the great feats achieved by the ancients are yet 2 be explained by modern science. Perhaps they knew far more then we give them credit for. The Hindu's stared worshipping the 9 planets 5000 yrs b4 modern science confirmed it. The ancients were able to predict the seasons far better then most modern intellects. Even modern science cannot totally comprehend how the ancients built the pyramids and their location too cannot be coincidental. Modern sci is not all gud

@mayababy78 in the end i prefer to sit in the mystery. in the unknown. i prefer to live by the words of Thomas Paine. "the world is my country and to do good is my religion". Or "Act justly, Love tenderly and walk Humbly with your God" (Micha 4;6) (& to add the AA slogan "God as you understand God"). But i do love this hymn for sure.

@mayababy78 thanks for taking the time to write. i have been waiting for that sign for decades. I have come to believe the "god presence" is only within our own conscience. The scriptures are only guides written by ancients who knew far less of the world/sciences and who tried to understand the mysteries of the world (that science now explains ever increasingly). I've asked for tht voice. I have MA in Theology, Psych and Philosophy. I do hermitage retreats. Zen meditation is the best ive found.

@Pisces31660 I agree with you on many of the points you have pointed out. God's ways are not the ways of man. If you believe in your heart and ask for a sign, you will see it as clear as day or you will hear a voice talking to your heart. "be still and know that I am God"
