Today’s hymn comes from New Scottish Hymns, a band based in Scotland, writing new hymns for the church. They explain “the great hymnwriters of the past used poetry to express a living, breathing theology that revealed a deep love for God, His church, and the good news about Jesus Christ. We want to follow in their footsteps and produce new hymns and worship songs for God’s people”. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one!
Were I to cross from land to land
And sail afar by sea
Descend the depths or climb the heights
My Lord remains with me
Before the blood ran in these veins
The days ordained for me
Were written in Your book O Lord
Before I came to be
I grieve to hear Your enemies
Speak hatred, Lord, of You
Long though they scheme with ill-intent
Their days are numbered too
How precious are Your thoughts to me
How countless, Lord, they are
More than the shores have grains of sand
More than the skies have stars
Come search and test this heart O Lord,
Dispel each anxious thought
And lead me onward evermore
To tread the path I ought
How blessed I am, so bound with love
Surrounded, yet so free
In doubt or blessing, life or death
My Lord remains with me
