In the G section hymns often begin with the word ‘Gently’ as in ‘Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild’ by Charles Wesley that not only appeals to children but adults in its simplicity. Gently, Lord, O gently Lead us by Thomas Hastings is a pointer to the step-by-step tender guidance of the Lord in every step of the submissive Christian. Back to the Bible should be the rallying cry of all Christians and the hymn
Give me the Bible by Priscilla J. Owens is very apt for the times we live in! Glad is a wonderful word for G to start with and what gives more joy and has enlightened more hearts than the Glad Tidings of the Gospel as depicted in the hymn, ‘Glad Tidings’ by Fanny Crosby. The letter G is essentially a Glory letter and ‘Glory be to God on High’ Nicolas Decius in 1525, a fit hymn for this section! The call to evangelize is pointed out in ‘Go ye out into all the World’ by James and ‘Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah’ by William Williams is a classic that has brought the presence of God into meetings time and again.
