Hymn of the Week
Hi students! I miss you all and hope you are doing well. Here is our hymn for the week: O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. When you listen during the week, I hope you will take a minute to reflect on the words and use them as a prayer. You can also sing along with the harmony if you want! Have fun!
Virginia Wilcox, Head of School
Lyrics: O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
The Hold-fast
by George Herbert (1593-1633)
I threaten'd to observe the strict decree
Of my dear God with all my power and might;
But I was told by one it could not be;
Yet I might trust in God to be my light.
"Then will I trust," said I, "in Him alone."
"Nay, e'en to trust in Him was also His:
We must confess that nothing is our own."
"Then I confess that He my succour is."
"But to have nought is ours, not to confess
That we have nought." I stood amaz'd at this,
Much troubled, till I heard a friend express
That all things were more ours by being His;
What Adam had, and forfeited for all,
Christ keepeth now, who cannot fail or fall.
