October 3, 2015 (Saturday)
(Today would have been the 62nd anniversary of our marriage. In 2013, I wrote a blog about it, including a picture of the wedding party. Click here if you would like to see it again).
The hymn for this weekend was a favorite of Wanda’s. She loved playing it for me whenever I sang it during the may years we shared our ministry together. It was almost always she that chose it when we presented it together. My model for singing it was George Beverly Shea. You can hear him sing it by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.
William C. Martin – 1910 I trust in God wherever I may be, Upon the land, or on the rolling sea, For come what may, from day to day, My heav’nly Father watches over me. Refrain: I trust in God, I know He cares for me; On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Though billows roll, He keeps my soul; My heav’nly Father watches over me. He makes the rose an object of His care, He guides the eagle through the pathless air, And surely He remembers me; My heav’nly Father watches over me. The valley may be dark, the shadows deep, But, oh, the Shepherd guards His lonely sheep; And through the gloom He’ll lead me home, My heav’nly Father watches over me. |
