This blog is about crossing cultures, Christian ministry, music, Biblical studies, fatherhood, leading worship, books, movies, and stuff like that. It's generally NOT about electronic gadgets, politics, philosophy, sports, etc. Not that I necessarily have a problem with those things.

Great little forgotten hymn by John Kent

Check out this little hymn I found. I love his use of the word "precepts"--especially considering the way that word typically gets used in Bible church circles.
(from A New Selection of Seven Hundred Evangelical Hymns: For Private, Family, and ... By John Dobell, Isaac Watts)393 C.M. Kent Love to the Law and to the Gospel 1 WHEN from the precepts to the cross The humble sinner turns His brightest deeds he counts but dross And o er his vileness mourns 2 God on the table of his heart Inscribes his love and fear He loves the law in ev ry part But takes no refuge there 3 Thus gospel law and justice too Conspire to set him free Reflect my soul admire and view What God hath done for thee
