Message from the Minister

While recuperating after surgery to remove the gall bladder (and many thanks for all your cards and get well wishes to me and Brenda), I have been reading a book about the favourite hymns of well-known Welsh people. Now, as you know, I am very fond of hymns and if someone had asked me to choose my favourite hymn that task would have been very difficult if not impossible. To some extent it depends on personal feelings at the time. Therefore today, during recuperation, my choice is -

When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favour he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.

Praying we’ll have an opportunity to sing the hymn during the month of May
