Dear Friends,

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."  (Ps. 33:12)

One of the beloved hymns that we sing about our country is within the pages of 52 HYMN STORY DEVOTIONS.  It was first printed in  1904 by Katharine Lee Bates  while she was standing at the top of Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, Colorado in the summer of 1893.

America at its finest is embodied in this song, that asks for God's grace.     She said, "We must match the greatness of our country with the goodness of personal, godly living.  If only we could couple the daring of  the Pilgrims with the moral teachings of Moses, we would have something in this county that no one could ever take from us."

Therefore, we joyfully sing, " America!, America! God shed His grace on thee.

God's bless you,

Order at

'Risen Christ by The Sea'

"Jesus Loves You Fellowship"
In the Bible we read these words of Jesus,
"Believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)
As we believe, we can know God's perfect love.
The following stories and songs tell of God's
plan for our lives.

1. 'Jesus Loves Me' - This simple, childlike song has its beginnings in a very short poem in a very long novel ...
2. 'Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling' - The dynamic preaching of evangilist Dwight L. Moody was over: he lay on his deathbed ...
3. 'Amazing Grace' - Even the sound of sweet-grace, grace-it is amazing...
4. 'Go Tll It On the Mountain' - The carolers in our town who sing from door to door often sound like a band of angels ...

God bless you,
Lucy N. Adams
