From childhood to the present, I’ve heard and sung old hymns over and over. The first few notes or words can bring the whole hymn to mind. This week I’ll be highlighting the music of Lent–that is, some of the hymns that float through my head as I ponder Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
Guilty, helpless, lost were we;
blameless Lamb of God was he,
sacrificed to set us free:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Man of Sorrows, What a Name
Phillip P. Bliss, 1875
We are free in Christ.
