"Be Thou My Vision" (no. 451 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is based on Irish poetry from the 8th century. It is the kind of song which connects us with generations of believers who have come before us.

Can you remember some of the saints who helped you see God's presence in the world? Who has helped you see God?

🎵 "Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name."

"Lift high the cross" (number 159 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is one of the great processional hymns. During this season, it is often sung at annual conference services--uplifting the gatherings with the song's triumphal tune.

Lyrically, it inspires the church to meet the world with reassurances that God's grace and love are already present. Our job is to follow that love into the world.

💭 Where do you see God's love leading you this week?

"My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on the lowly state of his servant" - Luke 1:47-48

In these verses of praise, often called The Magnificat, Mary expresses her joy in being seen and loved by God. The Magnificat reminds us that God notices those the world often overlooks and brings hope to humble hearts.

💭 Where have you experienced God’s care and presence in unexpected or humble moments?
