A hymn that I've known since childhood....and I loved the tie-in to the Clapham society and the British & Foreign Bible Society. I have a 160-yr old B&FBS Bible that belonged to my great-grandfather, a Methodist minister who came to PA from England in the late 19th century.

A fresh longing was brought to the fore while reading this. Its been thirty-years since my grandfather’s death and yet you’ve brought his voice again to my ear. “I love to tell the story” was one of the hymns he sang everyday. Thank you for bringing him and it to my ear anew.
