Who has not been deeply moved by ‘Nearer My God To Thee’ written by Sarah Flower Adams. This should be the prayer of every true Christian. Horatius Bonar reminds us in his hymn that Christ alone is the means of salvation and nothing we have done played any part in it, as we find in ‘Not What My Hands Have Done’ a challenge to those who base their salvation on their deeds instead of Christ alone. Going with the same theme but drawing on Old Testament History is the hymn by Isaac Watts, ‘Not All The Blood Of Beasts’ as we are shown in the lines that Christ’s Blood alone cleanses from sin.
‘Not Unto Us, O Lord Of Heav’n’, from the Psalter is a wonderful hymn of praise and ‘Now The Laborers Tasks Is O’er’ by John Ellerton, is a reminder to those who are nearing the end of their journey that Heaven awaits them! This is a very special section that falls under ‘N’.
