A Hymn for Every Occupation

Hymn BookIf you’ve been a Christian for very long, you’ve come to cherish the hymns of the church. As regards them, I came across the following that not only made me smile, but it also reminded me of the power of the hymns and how they can speak to us all no matter where we find ourselves in life. Enjoy!
