Forty John Sung
Revival Sermons
Translated by Timothy Tow
Dr.
John Sung was probably the greatest preacher of this century.
I have heard almost all the great preachers from 1910 until now,
including R. A. Torrey, Billy Sunday, Henry Jowett, the great holiness peachers,
the Methodist bishops, including Bishop Quayle, even Harry Emerson Fosdick, who
set a great example of the homiletic art, though I did not agree with him, and
finally Billy Graham. Yet John Sung
surpassed them in all pulpit power, attested by amazing and enduring results, of
which we will give examples later.
- William E. Schubert
JESUS,
MY LORD, I YEARN FOR THEE
Jesus,
my Lord, I yearn for Thee,
How
sweet art Thou to me!
O
that we're taken up today
Fore'er
with Thee to stay!
Chorus:
O
Thou the Balsam of the garden,
O
Thou the sweet Rose of Sharon,
Thou
art the Lily of the Valley,
How
shall I part with Thee?
In
all the world there's not a sound
That
can Thy mercies sing,
Nor
has that heart on earth been found;
Thy
brimming love contain.
Though
hearts are faint and tears do flow,
Our
sighs we can't control.
When
of Thy compassion I think,
Grief
goes and joy comes in!
Great
is Thy love that far transcends
The
bounds of time and realm.
Tis
the Beloved who can tell:
Thy
love all loves excell.
- Translated from John Sung Revival Choruses.
