We will be learning a new song this week. Until The Day Break, by Horatius Bonar and originally published by his son in 1890, the year after his death in 1889. The hymn’s tune has been reworked by Kevin Twit who had this to say about the song:
I love the way this text urges you to engage your imagination to whet your appetite for the Wedding Day that is coming. Bonar invites you see it as if it is happening right now – “Morn of morns it comes at last!” and I love that boldness. Imagination is a vital, but oft-neglected, part of the Christian life and hymns like this can train our imaginations. God created us with longings and longings are inseparable from our imaginations… I think hymns like this one do a great job of harnessing the imagination to mold the desires of the heart.
Here are our songs for this Lord’s Day:
- Come Let Us Return
- Jesus Paid It All
- Dress Us Up
- Until The Daybreak
