Hymn Highlight for Kids: Jesus, Lover of My Soul . To learn this hymn we’ll sing in Sunday worship, parents and kids can read the following paragraph and listen to this recording of the first verse on our website.
Charles Wesley is known as one of the greatest hymn writers of all time. He published over six thousand hymn texts and wrote an additional two thousand! Some people say this week's hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," is the best ever written in the English language. The words are written as a prayer of trust and dependence in God, who knows and loves his children. The four verses invite believers to find refuge, healing, comfort, and freedom in Christ alone, to know their sin and receive God's "plenteous grace."
