I've had a familiar hymn in my mind the last two mornings when I woke up. Amazing how I was able to recall the lyrics perfectly!

I am very thankful that I was raised in the church and in a Christian home. I heard those wonderful words of hymns over and over again at church, Sunday School and at the dinner table! Many, many hymns permeated my mind over the years; their words and music have been a great comfort, encouragement and blessing to me since! (I didn't care for it much back then, but now, I can say, "Thanks, Dad, for all those supper hours and Sunday mornings with George Beverly Shea!")

"O God, Our Help In Ages Past"

O God, our HELP in ages past,

Our HOPE for years to come.

Our SHELTER from the storming blast,

And our ETERNAL HOME.

O God, our HELP in ages past,

Our HOPE for years to come.

Be Thou our GUIDE while life shall last,

And our ETERNAL HOME.
