Newton the following year, Cowper is known to have written two additional hymns: <br />• <i>Longing to be with Christ: To Jesus, the Crown of my Hope</i> (possibly written in 1783, eight stanzas of four lines in Long Meter, Philippians 1:20-23, 1 Peter 1:8). <br />• <i>For the Use of the Sunday School at Olney: Hear, LORD, the song of praise and pray’r</i> (six stanzas of four lines in Common Meter, written in 1789, first appeared in The Northampton Mercury for the 7th of August, 1790, published 1808).jrpvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815928983355865687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-45403734550428779422009-12-09T17:49:35.412-05:002009-12-09T17:49:35.412-05:00I blogged last night briefly about the suggestion ...I <a href="http://miahimnareto.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/cowper-offensive/" rel="nofollow">blogged last night briefly about the suggestion in <i>Rejoice in the Lord</i> that there is something "undesirable" in the wording of Cowper's verse</a> here.

It could have been my song this past week as I faced the specter of treatment for thyroid cancer and saw God remove that from my life at this time.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432234458348984602noreply@blogger.com
