Appreciated the YouTube rendition of Annie Hawks’s hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour.” (And I do! When things are going smoothly we tend to get complacent and not rely on the Lord. It’s in the testing times that our faith grows.)
But here’s a little historical note: Did you know that the hymn “Moment by Moment” was written because of a comment made about the former hymn? An evangelist said to the author, Daniel Whittle, that he didn’t just need the Lord Jesus every hour, but every moment of the day, and Whittle turned the thought into a song.
I think you’d enjoy my blog site Wordwise Hymns, where, each day, I describe something that happened in hymn history on that date.
God bless.
The history is fascinating! Thanks Robert. -Dani
