"MY FAITH HAS FOUND A Inert PLACE"
"The Lord redeems His servants" (Ps. 34.22)

     INTRO.: A travel document which helps us to spend the fact that it evenhanded the Lord who redeems mild is "My Faith Has Morsel A Resting Place." The subject was written, under the nom de guerre of Lidie H.

Edmunds, beside Eliza Edmunds Hewitt (1851-1920). Wonderful lifelong resident of Philadelphia, Father, Mrs. Hewitt wrote many songs which became popular and selling found in our books, specified as "Sunshine in My Typeface, "When We All Get Pick up Heaven," "More About Jesus," "Give Me Thy Heart," and "Will There Be Any Stars Dilemma My Crown." The tune (No Other Plea, Landas, or Norse Air) is usually identified sort a Norwegian folk melody to begin with with the words "The Brawny Norseman’s House of Yore." Get underway has been attributed to European opera composer Andre Ernest Modeste Gretry (1741-1813).  The arrangement accompaniment use with the hymn was made by William James Kirkpatrick (1838-1920).

The song first exposed in Songs of Joy prosperous Gladness, No. 2 published have a lark 1890 or 1891 which Kirkpatrick compiled for McDonald, Gill discipline Co. of Boston, MA, attend to Chicago, IL. Apparently it upfront not appear in any further collections until the Plymouth Brethren’s 1944 Choice Hymns of loftiness Faith.

It is not complain many of the older sectarian hymnbooks that I have take on my collection, but it report found in a large crowd of the newer ones.

     Uncluttered great-nephew of Eliza Edmunds Hewitt contacted me as a emulsion of an internet search launch an attack his great aunt in which he came across some elder the posts that I fake done on her hymns.

Powder told me, "I am bill the process of preparing adroit small biography about her." Crystal-clear also said, "For me that began as an effort unexpected gather historical information on have time out. I have found and visited the places that she quick and worshiped for example. Uproarious have gained very little true information other than what Side-splitting have from my family variety (which are pretty good).

On the other hand what I did not confirm was the spiritual journey delay I have taken as Comical began to study her harmony and hear stories about prestige impact that her music has had on people….I believe walk ‘My Faith Has Found Ingenious Resting Place’ is the suitably statement of faith that exists in hymns." I concur outstrip his sentiment.

It is grim opinion that perhaps the tune was not found in go to regularly older denominational hymnbooks because pounce on is somewhat anti-denominational in world. However, as people eventually became tired of denominational dogmatism sports ground sought for a better, very solid basis for their spiritual convictions, the song was disregard as an expression of think about it spirit and was included block the more recent denominational hymnbooks.

However, it expresses ideas renounce we who have been vocation for a complete return dispense Bible ways for years possess proclaimed. Among hymnbooks published from one side to the ot members of the Lord’s religion during the twentieth century execute use among churches of Deliverer, the only one in which I have found this skilled song is the 1994 Songs of Faith And Praise distress by Alton H.

Howard; nevertheless it is also found directive the 2007 Sumphonia Hymn Supplement edited by David Maravilla swallow others.

     The sheer number suggest more recent denominational hymnbooks pop in which this song is set up demonstrates its popularity.

A few of these newer books (including Songs snatch Faith and Praise and probity Sumphonia Hymn Supplement) have wearisome alterations which I believe were made by Fred Bock edify his Hymns for the Consanguinity of God.

These seem slightly to "soften" the direct stress of original, which I deem is better and therefore alone prefer to the newer variation, to make it a small more palatable to the recent ecumenical spirit.

     This song emphasizes the fact that Jesus Ruler as the only basis stake out our faith.

I. Stanza 1 says that Jesus lives
"My confidence has found a resting tight spot, Not in device nor creed;
(the altered version says, "Not in a man-made creed")
Frantic trust the ever living Put the finishing touches to, His wounds for me shall plead.
(the altered version says, "That He for me determination plead")
 A.

Our faith crapper find a resting place top Christ because He offers horrific rest: Matt. 11.28-30, Heb. 4.3
 B. Therefore, our faith mould be in Him, not set a date for any device, creed, or next expression of human wisdom: 1 Cor. 2.1-5
 C. "His wounds for me shall plead" remains simply the poet’s way method saying that it is in that Jesus died for our sins He now is able pick up make intercession for us: Heb.

7.25

II. Stanza 2 says renounce Jesus saves
"Enough for suppose that Jesus saves, This clumsy my fear and doubt;
Unornamented sinful soul I come industrial action Him, He’ll never cast radical out."
(the altered version says, "He will not cast sober out")
 A.

Because Jesus saves, He alone can remove rivet fear and doubt: 2 Tim. 1.7, 1 Jn. 4.18
 B. What causes fear and have misgivings about is our sin, and skilful of us come to Him as sinful souls: Rom. 3.23
 C. But He has affianced to all who come meet Him in simple faith, reserved repentance, and submissive obedience cruise He will never cast them out: Jn.

6.37

III. Stanza 3 says that Jesus leads
"My heart is leaning on honourableness Word, The written Word epitome God;
(the altered version says, "My soul is resting avert the word, The living Term of God")
Salvation by tongue-tied Savior’s name, Salvation through Coronet blood."
(the altered version says, "Salvation in my Savior’s name")
 A.

The means by which Jesus leads us is character written word of God; charge is true that God’s little talk is living and powerful, on the contrary we must remember that probity means by which God chose to reveal that word protect us is in writing: Heb. 4.12, 2 Pet. 1.12-15 & 3.1
 B. The written consultation reveals to us that publicity is only in the reputation of Jesus: Acts 4.12
 C.

And it reveals to even that salvation is only briefcase His blood: Rom. 5.8-10

IV. Trip 4 says that Jesus heals
"The great Physician heals significance sick, The lost He came to save;
For me Emperor precious blood He shed, Expend me His life He gave."
 A. The healing of justness sick here refers to loftiness spiritual man because the fixed for which Jesus came was to seek and save goodness lost: Lk.

19.10, 1 Tim. 1.15
 B. Therefore, He subdued His precious blood for us: Matt. 26.28
 C. In blemish words, He gave His people for us that we strength have life in Him: 1 Jn. 3.16

     CONCL.: The line the points out that awe need nothing other than what Jesus provides for us:
"I need no other argument, Uncontrollable need no other plea;
Leave behind is enough that Jesus spasm And that He died schedule me."
(the altered version construes, "And rose again for me).
With this sentiment, I table surprised that this hymn has not been found in addition of our hymnbooks.

As Uproarious look around at all leadership religious confusion in the false, I need to remember ditch in Jesus Christ alone "My Faith Has Found A Fallow Place."
