This is an incredibly beautiful hymn from the 19th century that I have absolutely fallen in love with, thanks to the efforts of Charli Couchman, who took these powerful words and crafted a tune that has brought many a tear to my eye, and stirred and comforted many hearts.

Jackson, this is a beautiful rendition of a timeless hymn, written more than a century and a half ago. It does my heart good to see our younger generations embrace words that are meaningful, encouraging, and lifted in praise to our God who lives. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jacksonrsneed]

Thank you so much for your kind words. And thanks even more for using your talents to set these words to such a beautiful tune that has touched the hearts of so many of us who believe!

So beautiful. We lost our 23 year-old son in January 2023 to a brain tumor. We are broken-hearted but find comfort in the words of this song. Thank you.

[@jacksonrsneed]

So sorry to hear about your son; may God bless and comfort you! And thank you for your message - I am always humbled that God can (and does) multiply my meager efforts in ways that help + bless those who love Him.

I just sang this song this weekend. I really like it. I can't remember if it was during worship yesterday or during an area-wide sing in Harrisburg on Saturday. 💗

[@jacksonrsneed]

I really like this one too - it is truly a treasure! Blessings to you!

Hi Jackson, you sure have a great talent to sing and harmonize. Hope you keep these videos coming.

[@jacksonrsneed]

Very kind of you Ben! I appreciate the encouragement! I'm going to do my best 🙂

[@lukeheisele1834]

Jackson, are you planning any more releases of acapella hymns?

[@jacksonrsneed]

I have recorded a lot of them, and would love to release more! I just need to decide which ones to release and contact the copyright holders and arrange permission. I have a lot of biblical/spiritual media projects underway right now, but this is definitely one I want to continue to work at.

member of the Church of Christ, brother?

[@jacksonrsneed]

I am a New Testament Christian 🙂 (Hope you don’t mind my trying to avoid a denominational mindset in answering that question. Perhaps I’m overly sensitive but just want to be careful 🙂)

[@seanperkins4520]
