An excerpt from one of my very favourite poems, Jehovah Tsidkenu by
        Robert M. McSheyne:

* * *
. . .When free grace awoke me, by light from on high,
Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die;
No refuge, no safety in self could I see, –
Jehovah Tsidkenu my Saviour must be.

My terrors all vanished before the sweet name;
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I came
To drink at the fountain, life-giving and free, –
Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me . . .

* * *


I also found out it can be sung to the tune of the hymn “My Jesus I Love Thee”, also known as “Gordon” by Adoniram J. Gordon.

    Hi.  My name is Elizabeth and I live in China.  I will be headed back to the States soon and am probably moving to Hillsdale.  I’m trying to meet some people that live there.  Do you like Hillsdale?  Is it a fun place to live?  If you think this is too weird, you don’t have to answer.  Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!  Do you like the college?  It seems like a cool place.  The snow doesn’t bother me so much.  I’ve lived in the NW corner of China and winters are much colder and longer than in MI so that should be okay.
