Samuel Francis Smith, a student at Andover Theological Seminary, wrote the lyrics to "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" in 1831, only 55 years after America gained its independence. Interestingly, he wrote it to be sung to the tune of the British royal anthem. This song was the unofficial national anthem for many years. Smith was ordained as a Baptist minister in 1834.

THE POINT FROM THE PULPIT: As Christians, we WILL experience hardships. We must look beyond our feelings and look toward the positive in times of trials. Ask God for wisdom in all situations, as true wisdom gives us God's perspective.

In 1865, during a sermon on the crucifixion, choir member, Elvina Hall, was suddenly inspired to write poetic verses on the flyleaf of her hymnal. After the service she showed the pastor and told him how quickly the words came to her during his preaching. He told Elvina about choir director, John Grape, writing a tune the prior week that needed words. The two compositions came together as the hymn we sing today.

THE POINT FROM THE PULPIT: "How are we made right with God?" is the most critical question of our lives. We do not get to Heaven on our own merit. We are dependent on God's mercy and on God's grace. The only way is through faith and through Jesus.
