This song was suddenly interrupted with a surprise phone call from our friend. Was it a mistake, or was it good timing? The text was written by Edward Henry Bickersteth (1862), while the tune was written by Dmitri Bortnianski (1822), and later altered. Our friend Gloria tells us that "Till He Come!" is regularly sung at Communion services in Nicaragua.

It's an interesting experience to sit alone with the text, these 148 year old words, as the invisible you spoke to an unheard voice connected by wires.
ReplyDeleteMay our ideas of divisions, separations, and distances grow more blurred and we learn more about communion.
Thank you for this brother.
