Today’s hymn focus will be

Lead Me To Calvary

1 Corinthians 2:2   (NASB95)       

“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” 

Many of the gospel songs of the nineteenth century were focused upon the cross and specifically Calvary, which remained central to the evangelicals even into the mid-twentieth century. Today’s hymn was written by New England Quaker Jennie Evelyn Hussey and was published in 1921. She created a compelling and memorable refrain with direct and evocative language and had a singable and easily learned melody to help solidify the theme in the singer’s mind and heart.

             Lest I forget Gethsemane; Lest I forget Thine agony.

            Lest I forget Thy love for me, lead me to Calvary

Jennie lived a selfless life, caring for an invalid sister, never complaining while serving her with love as Christ would have done.
