Just as Christian’s character in The Pilgrim’s Progress, our journey to our eternal home will be wrought with peril and danger. But we can trust that amidst these trials, we will grow evermore like Christ, and we will endure through His strength as He leads us every step on the way to the Celestial City.

This beautiful hymn can be traced back to the first Christian missionary in Ireland, St. Patrick. During the 5th century, the king set forth a decree that would prohibit the lighting of any candles or fires in coordination to festivals.

Creation sings together the Father’s song. But, there is a song that is worth more to God than any other. The song of His children is one that He adores.

When we come to know God deeply through His holy Word, the better our worship will be.

It is our job as Christians to be vigilant about what we sing and to make it a priority to seek songs that truly praise God in all His glory.
