New Hymn for today . . . 'How Wonderful'

How Wonderful  CM

TUNE: Aberdeen

How wonderful to hear Your voice,

It acts like Gilead’s balm;

Bringing to me such peace and joy,

That still small voice of calm.

To know for certain, when I pray,

Wherever I may be,

That You are always close at hand,

To listen out for me.

I know that I can share my thoughts,

By calling on Your name;

Throughout my sadness and my joy,

For I my Saviour claim.

In happy times or dire distress,

On Jesu’s name I’ll call;

Knowing that He is always there

To catch me if I fall.

Through all the trying times of life,

Through all my length of days,

My Father, in the Saviour’s name,

I give to You my praise.
