Saint Simon, also known as Simon the Zealot, is scarcely mentioned in the Bible, except in the list of names of Jesus’ disciples.

These are the first hymnblogs I did back in March 2020. Many of you may not have read the following blogs. I started doing them for my Bible study group at church just as the pandemic shutdowns started and then it became obvious I should do a hymnblog for a wider audience. I haven't quite gotten the form down, but here are some of the greatest most popular hymns in the canon. 1 Trust in God’s Promise/Löftena kunna ej svika https://www.hymnfortheday.com/post/hymn-1-trust-in-go

Text: Lina Sandell (1832-1903). Tune: Oscar Ahnfelt (1813-1880) Day by day, and with each passing moment Strength I find to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each what He deems best, Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest.
