Daily Devotion - Epiphany Hymns

The season of Epiphany celebrates the light of God spreading across the world bringing hope, healing, and reconciliation.  A master of Christian theology in verse is Charles Wesley. Reflect today on these selected verses of this hymn that shares the exuberance of the world shining with Christ's light.

"O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace!

Jesus! the Name that charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace.

Glory to God and praise and love be now and ever given by saints below and saints above the Church in earth and  heaven."

Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
