THREE EARLIER HYMNS
A gentle, uplifting collection of contemporary hymns invites listeners to pause and reflect on timeless Christian hopes amid today’s bustling world. Written with simple, heartfelt language, each piece affirms that modern faith can stand firm while science and change swirl around us, offering verses that are easy to memorize and set to familiar melodies.
The book moves from the sailor’s prayer for safety on a vast sea, through the awe of the burning bush, to the child‑like wonder of a market crowd seeking truth, and finally to a yearning for Christ’s return. Each hymn celebrates trust, courage, and joy, encouraging personal prayer or communal singing, and leaves space for new musical settings that can bring these verses to life in churches, homes, and personal moments of devotion.
