Hello, thank you so much for joining me today, for Give Him 15.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday.

And our title today is Thanksgiving one more time.

In keeping with the Thanksgiving theme today, I'm going to do something just a little different.

I'm sharing the words of four of my all-time favorite hymns, releasing them as a praise and

thanksgiving to our great God. I love many of the old hymns. Personally, I believe we should incorporate them into our

charismatic and contemporary worship more often. They are not only reverential, majestic, offer heartfelt

thanks to God and declare the greatness of God.

They're filled with tremendous theology that sadly many believers seldom hear.

The hymns will be our post and prayer today.

I hope you enjoy these masterpieces as much as I did in compiling them.

Number one.

Reginald Heber was born in 1783 to a wealthy, educated family, died in 1826. He was a bright youth, translating a Latin classic into English by the time he was seven, entering Oxford at 17 and winning two awards for his poetry during his time there.

After graduating, he entered the ministry and over the course of his life

wrote 57 hymns, one of which is an all-time favorite of mine. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,

early in the morning, our song shall rise to thee.

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore thee,

casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,

cherubin and seraphim falling down before thee,

who was and is, and evermore shall be.

I don't know if I'm going to get through this post.
