[Faith-Talk] Sharing a Hymn

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Linda,

When I looked at the Gadsby Canadian hymns, that one was, What Think You Of Christ.

The attachment I am sending is from a Bible study about John Newton, hymns, how they were written and incorporated into the church.  The other could easily be the same thing, but I'm almost certain the attached is what we are looking for.

Let me know if this works for you.

Judy

“Embrace each day with His mercies and blessings.”
