"O Gifts of Gifts"

 
  This is a poem at the end of Stepping Heavenward, which is also changed a little when it is the hymn that the writer of Stepping Heavenward wrote, Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss, "O Gifts of Gifts." I thought it to be very beautiful.






    "O Gifts of Gifts!   O Grace of faith!
         My God how can it be
     That  Thou,  Who hast discerning love,
        Shouldst give that love to me?

     How many hearts Thou mightst have had
     More innocent than mine!
     How many souls more worthy far
         Of that sweet touch of  Thine?

     Ah,  Grace! into unlikeliest hearts
         It  is thy boast to come,
     The glory of  Thy  Light to find
        In darkest spots a home.

     Oh,  happy, happy that I am!
         I thou canst be, O faith,
     The treasure that Thou art in life
        What wilt Thou be in death?"

Bible Broadcasting Network Fall Share-a-thon

  Anyone who does not know what the Fall Share-a-thon is, or what BBN is, I shall explain it.
BBN stands for Bible Broadcasting Network, and is a wonderful radio station. They never play adds, and never have. They don't charge any of their programs money, they are only listener supported.
The Fall Share-a-thon is something that BBN does every October days 1-4. If you would donate some money to BBN, and it does not matter how much, for a house gets built one brick at a time, in the next twelve months then you must call BBN today! Please,if you are reading this. BBN needs it. They have radio stations in many languages, and have had, through the power of Christ, so many people saved.

 October fourth is the very last day for the Fall Share-a-thon. BBN's phone number is:
1-800-888-7077. BBN started in 1971 by a very good person, Dr. Lowell Davey.

 Here is BBN's website with the Fall Share-a-thon banner:

 You can also make your Faith Promise of giving BBN the amount of money as you truly want to give online.

If you are reading this on October fourth, please, I can't stress this enough, if you are going to ever give BBN money within the next twelve months, please call and tell them so right now, if it is October, 4.

Without the Fall Share-a-thon BBN would not have any programming, or broadcasts, and BBN is truly a blessing.

 Thank You!

Here are the hymn lyrics to a hymn that BBN plays a lot of the time during their Fall Share- a- thon:

When you count the ones who love the Lord,
Count me, count me;
When you count up those who trust His Word,
Count me, count me.

Refrain

Count me with the children of the heav’nly King;
Count me with the servants who would service bring;
Count me with the ransomed who His praises sing;
Count me, count me.


When you count up those who’re saved by grace,
Count me, count me;
Who have found in Christ a hiding place,
Count me, count me.

Refrain

When you count up those who do the right,
Count me, count me;
Who are walking in the Gospel light,
Count me, count me.

Refrain

When you count up those who forward press,
Count me, count me;
Who shall gain the crown of righteousness,
Count me, count me.

Refrain
