Oft in Sorrow has endured through the centuries, giving Christians a song to sing in times of struggle and sadness. We need songs of celebration to sing on mountaintops, yes, but we also need songs that teach us to continue on in the battle of faith when we are in a valley. Oft in Sorrow is a hymn for such times.

The year has been great, and I've had great opportunities to learn in and out of the classroom. I decided to quickly jot down a few things I've learned so far.

Throughout this year, God has taught me so much, both through my experiences and the reading of His word. I knew most of these simple truths but hadn't fully realized them until this year.
