(I'm reading the book: Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God). The poem George Matheson wrote came out of loss & pain. I know it will encourage some of us who are experiencing hard things right now. http://www.igracemusic.com/hymnbook/hymns/o08.html Nowisee Registered user Username: Nowisee Post Number: 1093 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 12:10 am:        PS. This hymn was Chambers favorite.
