Thank God I also managed to read finish the book of Ecclesiastes twice for my FEBC assignments, and also completed this week’s assignments. ~thankful~

On Friday, we had a mini surprise from one of my best friends, Jie Jenice, who bought food via Grab Food to our house! She’s so nice 🥰 ahhh! She bought food for my whole family and we had it for lunch! Thank you ♡ I miss her so much!!!

I hope to receive my friends’ letters this week! Looking forward to receive them and writing back 🙂

Update: my sis also baked cookies on Saturday! Ooooo they were delicious 😋 🤤 I love my sister’s cookies haha 🍪

My posts nowadays are pretty short cuz every time is just my week reviews so this time I am going to add to my posts one of my favourite Christian hymns! There are many, but for now, just one hymn per post heheh 😉

Here’s one of my favourite hymns, Let The Lower Lights Be Burning by Philip P. Bliss.

At one of D.L. Moody’s meetings in America he related the story of a shipwreck on a dark and tempestuous night, when not even a star was visible. A ship was approaching the harbor of Cleveland, with a pilot on board. The captain, noticing only one light as they drew near — that from the lighthouse —asked the pilot if he was quite sure that it was Cleveland harbor, as other lights should have been burning at the harbor mouth. The pilot replied that he was quite sure, whereupon the captain enquired:

“Where are the lower lights?” “Gone out, sir,” replied the pilot.

“Can you make the harbor, then?” asked the captain, to which the pilot answered:

“We must, sir, or perish.”

Bravely the old man steered the vessel upon her course toward safety. But alas! In the darkness of the harbor mouth he missed the channel, the ship struck upon many rocks, and in the stormy waters many lives were lost.

Then Moody made his appeal to his audience: “Brothers, the Master will take care of the great lighthouse! Let us keep the lower lights burning!”

Among Moody’s hearers that evening was Mr. Philip P. Bliss, the well-known hymn writer, and the striking story at once suggested to him one of his most popular hymns:

Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore,
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.

Refrain:

Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.

Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore.

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.
