    One of my very favorite hymns is Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus by Helen H. Lemmel. So often in my life when things are not going well or I am discouraged in some way, its because I have taken my eyes off of Jesus and this hymn is somehow brought to my mind.

      Thanks, Dorothy. Helen Lemmel’s “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” is a beautiful song. Stay tuned! On November 14th, a story about the author and how she came to write her hymn will appear. (That was her birthday, in 1864).

      Meanwhile, there are lots of new things coming along. Sometimes, even I get surprised. Found out a week ago that Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle in the musical My Fair Lady were patterned after a famous hymn writer and his girlfriend. Go figure!

    Our family (which of course includes the grandson and great-grandchildren of your father!) has been learning this hymn in the month of March, and sang it again today (Good Friday).

    At the end of our worship time, we read this post, which was very appropriate. Thanks! 🙂
