 A stanza from an Old Hymn (“My Faith has Found a Resting Place”) by Andre Ernest Modeste Gretry

 My faith has found a resting place, Not in device nor creed;

I trust the Ever-living One, His wounds for me shall plead.

I need no other argument, I need no other plea,

It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.

 

Praise and thanksgiving to our Lord who loves us.

Yours in Christ,

Carl
