Beautiful! Forgive me for saying so, but Guy is absolutely gorgeous!

[@AnyaOshua]

I am usually composed, and never tear up in front of my wife and 5&7 year olds, but this touches me deep especially seeing these men of God have already been promoted into glory and we are witnessing the legacy for God they have left behind. What a time in the Church! (body of Christ) I was 6-7 when I first started hearing their songs late 80's the likes of the Cathedrals, George Younce, Glen Payne, JD Sumner and many more musical heroes of the faith. Didn't know their names til now, but heard their songs from my parents. JD Sumner had to call Guy to finish the song Haven of Rest, understandably when you feel the depths of Gods love and eternal security through a song cuts you really deep as it does for me, I always tear up when I hear this song. LOVE YOU ALL never met you before but we will all meet on the other side of the shore on that glorious day!

Awesome voice he had. At a NJ Veteran's home where I have been singing during Sunday worship for the last 18 years, a resident had requested "The Haven Of Rest". At that time I was not familiar with the hymn; however, I went home and learned it and have included it in my repertoire. I am grateful to the elderly US Coast Guard veteran who requested it. I live close to Mantua NJ, which is where the hymn's author, Henry Lake Gilmour, lived out his later years and started a church.

[@Christthesolidrock4]

My soul in sad exile was out on life’s sea, So burdened with sin and distressed, Till I heard a sweet voice, saying, “Make Me your choice”; And I entered the “Haven of Rest”! Refrain: I’ve anchored my soul in the “Haven of Rest,” I’ll sail the wide seas no more; The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep, In Jesus I’m safe evermore. I yielded myself to His tender embrace, In faith taking hold of the Word, My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul; The “Haven of Rest” is my Lord. The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole, Has been the old story so blest, Of Jesus, who’ll save whosoever will have A home in the “Haven of Rest.” How precious the thought that we all may recline, Like John, the beloved so blest, On Jesus’ strong arm, where no tempest can harm, Secure in the “Haven of Rest.” Oh, come to the Savior, He patiently waits To save by His power divine; Come, anchor your soul in the “Haven of Rest,” And say, “My Beloved is mine.”
