• “I henceforth take Jesus Christ to be mine. I promise to receive Him as a husband to me. And I give myself to Him, unworthy though I am, to be His spouse. I ask of Him, in this marriage of spirit with spirit, that I may be of the same mind with Him — meek, pure, nothing in myself, and united in God’s will. And, pledged as I am to be His, I accept as part of my marriage portion, the temptations and sorrows, the crosses and the contempt which fell to Him. — Jeanne M.B. de la Mothe Guyon, Sealed with her ring.”

    Hi, I would like to know the story behind the song "Live out thy life within me", that why did she writte it? What was the motive if you do have some information about this. Thank you.

      Hi, Brother/sister, I do not know. I did try to look it up, but could not find it. The date that it was actually written is not even available. So information about this hymn seems to be unknown for the most part. However, I may try to look into it and other hymns some more. I am glad you brought it up. It is a wonderful piece. Thanks. Your sister in Christ, Michelle

    Hi - I wonder if you might pass this listing onto any who might be interested in Havergal's works. This is a rare 1st edition copy of Frances Ridley Havergal's "Under the Surface", 1834. It is in extraordinarily pristine shape. Thanks for your help. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Under-Surface-Frances-Ridley-Havergal-1834-J-Nisbet-Co-/180772247730?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item2a16dd98b2 Liz
