Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 In our Monday night Bible study, we worshiped using the following hymn. This song has been rattling around in my head since then, so I thought I would share it with you. Perhaps it will bring you the same joy it has brought me, to delight in this melody for some time now. youtu.be/snGEoVfUGuQ The hymn’s origination is almost as mysterious as the wonders of the melody behind it. I did however find some interesting notes on its author, Katherine von Schlegel. I really enjoyed the following article in this regard. forthefainthearted/2011/11/16/an-a-z-of-hymnwriters-katharina-von-schlegel/comment-page-1/ Blessings to you, and ..
