A great poet of the pre romantic era and one of my personal favourites, this particular piece is chosen from William Cowper's 'Olney Hymns', a series of stunning lyrics(hymns) he composed along with John Newton. They still live on as popular quoted verses and sung hymns around the world even today; their lyrics often unmatched in their simple wisdom. This episode is particularly special as it marks a week short of a year from a severe illness I had undergone in Feb, 2020, where I was on the critical brink of leaving life itself. This was a verse I would recite on my hospital bed and remains a vital memory and reminder of my spiritual strength. I am very thankful to be alive and well again! I hope you enjoy this.
