Chancel Choir Rehearsal:  Wednesdays 7:15 - 8:30 pm

...let us run with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... Hebrews 12:1-2


There is a little song I learned at Cathedral of the Pines Camp as a young child. It goes like this, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in his wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.” We sang it every night in Evening Chapel. Some years ago, I found this hymn in its entirety, never realizing it was a hymn with verses. We had only sung the refrain. I find the text of verse 2 to be very appropriate for us as Christians in this season of Lent:


Through death into life everlasting

He passed and we follow Him there;

Over us sin no more hath dominion

For more than conquerors we are!


Written in 1922, this hymn was texted and composed by a woman named Helen Lemmel who wrote nearly 500 hymns in her lifetime. I give thanks today to all the writers of hymns and sacred songs that we use in worship. As Lutherans, we are blessed with an abundance of great hymn tunes and texts.


Wishing all at Family of God a meaningful Lenten Journey!
