In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my Light, my Strength, my Song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save
"Til on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid; here in the death of Christ I live.
In Christ Alone is my favorite hymn. The words are just so powerful and meaningful! These are just the first two stanzas, but if you haven't heard of this song before, I'd encourage you to look it up right now and listen. :) And I haven't posted much of my photography lately, so I hope you enjoyed these flower photos.
What is your favorite hymn? Tell me in the comments!
I'll see you on Tuesday with a book review!

Beautiful photos, Emily!!! And I love this hymn to. ;) My favorite hymn is probably "I Surrender All" or one similar. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hannah! I love "I Surrender All" too. :) All hymns are so pretty, really, that it's hard to pick a favorite!
DeleteThank you for your comment. =)
This post was so beautiful, Emily! The pictures are gorgeous, I love them. And I love that hymn, too! I've got it memorized :). But I could never pick just one favorite hymn, there are far too many for that!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Savannah! I'm still learning a lot about photography, but I love it. :)
DeleteI have it memorized too!;) My family always asks why I seem to know all the hymns, but I just like memorizing them. :D
Thanks for commenting, Savannah! =)
I love this song!!! And those are really pretty pictures!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kiley! I'm glad you like that hymn too. =)
DeleteFirst off, your pictures are gorgeous!! I love that song, definitely one of my favorites! My other favorite hymn would have to be, "Be Thou My Vision". I love it too!!
ReplyDelete-Katie
Aw, thank you Katie! I'm glad you liked the pictures and the song. Oooh, "Be Thou My Vision" is definitely my second-favorite hymn-- I have that one memorized too. ;)
DeleteThank you so much for your comment, and for following my blog, too! <3
These are so pretty!! I have so many favourite hymns. One I like is quite a recent hymn. It's called 'O Praise the Name (Anastasis)' by Hillsong. Such a nice song. Out of old hymns, it would be 'O For a Thousand Tongues' or 'Take my Life', by Frances Ridley Havergal.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bonnie! I like so many hymns as well, it's hard to pick! I like all the ones you mentioned. :)
DeleteThank you for commenting! =)
I love this song. It would probably take me a while to decide one favorite hymn, In Christ Alone is one of my favorites, and I have to agree with Katie, I love Be Thou My Vision.
ReplyDeleteAlso, lovely photos.

Thank you Allie! As I said, I'd definitely choose "Be Thou My Vision" as my next-favorite hymn. But they're all so pretty! :)
DeleteThanks for your comment! =)
Beautiful song (I'm listening to it right now) and beautiful song. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhoops! I meant flowers. :P
DeleteThank you, Faith! That's great that you're listening to it right now. Had you heard it before?
DeleteThank you for reading and for your comment! =)
Yes, I have heard it before. :) Love it too!! <3
DeleteOh, okay. :) I'm glad you like it too! <3

Thanks, Nabila! I'm glad you like "In Christ Alone" too. :)
DeleteBeautiful song and pictures! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Thank you for your comment, Bethany! =)
DeleteYes, I know this song! It's fun to play as well. :) I don't really have a favourite hymn or song, but I do always come back to 'It is Well with my Soul'. It means even more when you learn the story behind the guy that wrote it - Horatio Spafford.
ReplyDeleteNice flowers too. :)
This is a fun song to play, isn't it! A bit hard to sing for some people, but still beautiful. ;)
Delete"It Is Well With My Soul" is definitely a good one too, and the story behind it is so inspiring!
Thank you for reading and commenting, Jessica! =)
