Hymn 3. Heaven

16/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Elizabeth Mills was reading a commentary by Bridges on Psalm 119:44: "So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever." Bridges had made the note, "We speak of heaven, but oh, to be there!" These words gave Elizabeth inspiration to write this hymn on the glories of the New Jerusalem.
Picture
Elizabeth Mills, nee King, was born in Stoke Newington, North London, in 1805; and died in Finsbury Place, London, on April 21, 1829, only three weeks after writing the hymn, giving particular poignancy to the third stanza.

    the Desire of Ages

    After the Bible, this book has been the most important book to getting close to Christ. You will absolutely get chills reading this book on the life of Christ, and you WILL have a deeper relationship with our Saviour!
    A curator for religious books at the Library of Congress says that this is the best portrayal of the life of Jesus he has ever come across.
    The Desire of Ages is recommended also by Pr Doug Batchelor for those who want to know more about Jesus and find salvation 💝
