Episode 192: "O Jesus, I Have Promised"

In 1866, Reverend John Bode wrote a hymn to teach to his daughter and two sons as they prepared for confirmation in the church. Part of what he told them that day was "I have written a hymn containing all the important truths I want you to remember when you are finally confirmed." Join me to learn more about Reverend Bode, and to study and sing this hymn together.https://hymnstudiesblog.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/quoto-jesus-i-have-promisedquot/Johnson, Guye, Treasury of Great Hymns and their stories; Bob Jones University Press; © 1986, pg 243-245.
