Hymns in the Darkness

AN English miner rescued from a mine disaster after being imprisoned in total darkness for sixteen hours, on being asked how he passed the dreadful hours of suspense, replied: “We sang a great deal. We sang such hymns as ‘Crown Him Lord of All,’ and it helped to keep our courage up.” When poor man comes to the awful brink and is about to drop into the unknown, there seems to be nothing like a bit of Gospel or the knowledge of a saving Christ to keep him from the depths of an awful despair.
