I took these photos in Henderson, Tennessee, in January of this year. Hopefully they will help you feel cooler in the summer heat.

Hymn of the Week – Church of Christ, O Sleep No More
Poem by Fanny Crosby (1905)
Music by Howard Doane
Cyber Hymnal entry
Church of Christ, thy Lord is calling;
Ope thine eyes, behold and see,
Precious souls, in chains of bondage,
Pleading now for aid from thee.
Up and work for those that perish,
Haste, the time will soon be o鈥檈r;
Fold thy arms of love around them,
Church of Christ, O sleep no more.Lo, again thy Lord is calling;
Preach the Word, its truth proclaim;
Lift thy voice and, like a trumpet,
Sound aloud Jehovah鈥檚 Name.
Boding clouds are in the distance,
Billows foam, and surges roar,
Dark and wild the night is coming,
Church of Christ, O sleep no more.Still again thy Lord is calling;
Take the lamp that once He gave;
Let its beams of peerless glory
Shine afar the lost to save.
Do His will and do it quickly,
For the time will soon be o鈥檈r;
He may come when least expected,
Church of Christ, O sleep no more.
Hymn of the Week – A Charge to Keep I Have
Poem by Charles Wesley
Music by Lowell Mason
Cyber Hymnal entry
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill—
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master鈥檚 will!Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
