Your Favorite TRUE HYMN

[Dr. Bob]

Blessed Assurance is a song of praise and testimony, not a hymn of worship.

And where did "angels" come from? I'm looking at all the verses again, but missing it!

 

[John Gilmore]

Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Were angels whispering in her ear?

I'd Rather Have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand


Than to be the queen of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway;
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.


I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause,
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame,
I'd rather be true to His holy name


Than to be the queen of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway;
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

"How Great Thou Art" brings tears to my eyes every time I sing it! It is one of my favorite True Hymns.

I think the assurance comes in the first instance directly from God, and the angels merely provide corroboration and confirmation. But I am not privy to Mrs. Van Alstyne's personal interpretation of the matter, you may be right from her point of view.
