Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Love this hymn.

There’s a version by a young man called Sufjan Stevens that is worth listening to. It featured on one of the episodes of “Friday Night Lights.”

Awesome and an Ebenezer is a “rock of remembrance”. This is my favorite hymn.

My missionary cousin refers to much of today’s Christian music as “7-11 Music” ... 7 words repeated 11 times. I hate to say it, but sometime I feel like I’ve wandered into a rock concert instead of a worship service. Today’s music sure doesn’t hold a candle to the great old hymns of the faith.

One of my favorite hymns.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Psa 27:4-5 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 11 posted on

He was converted at age 20 under the preaching of revivalist George Whitefield. Robinson wrote the words to the hymn in 1758, apparently soon after his conversion. It was published the next year. The music to which it is usually sung was written in 1813 by John Wyeth, a Pennsylvania newspaper publisher.
