Written and composed by Charles Weigle in 1932, this wonderful hymn of God's care, grace, and love is published in 40 hymnals. Here's the story behind this hymn:
In November of 1871, a son was born to a German baker and his wife in Lafayette, Indiana. Charles Weigle grew up in a devout Methodist home. However, he had a violent temper and often got into fights with other boys.
One night, he attended a revival meeting at his church. The Holy Spirit worked in his heart, pointing out his sin and need for Christ. He later wrote, “There seemed to be no hope for me. My sins towered up before me. Then Jesus came and quieted my fears. He paid the penalty for all my sins and guilt…When this great truth dawned upon my mind, my heart was filled with gratitude and praise. There came a great love into my heart for my Saviour.”
From that moment on, Charles grew to love Jesus more and more. He was hungry for the Word of God. As he grew spiritually, people noticed a remarkable change in his actions and attitude. He gave up fighting and learned to live a holy life.
As a man, God called Charles to evangelism. His preaching was blessed with much fruit. He also sang in a rich baritone and composed hymns. Charles travelled the country with his wife and daughter. However, he soon had to enter the school of sorrow. His marriage was troubled and his wife dissatisfied with her circumstances. One night at a revival meeting, Charles received a message about trouble at home. He fell on his face in anguished prayer. A fellow preacher, H. C. Morrison, came alongside him to pray.
After they rose from their knees, Morrison put his arm around Charles’ trembling shoulder. He said, “Charlie, you may not think you can bear this, but you will, for time is a great healer; and Jesus will bring you through.” These words buoyed Charles up and gave him strength to continue.
Only a few months later, his wife told him, “I’m leaving, Charlie. I don’t want to live the life you are living. I want
