This hymn reportedly (by those remembering it) was chosen by William Wier and told to those “under”) him to be chosen first at convention... He waited to enter the congregation until those words were being sung.
Children would snicker, adults appeared to ignore it. The things told me about him when I arrived there shortly after his funeral were very difficult to believe true to a sycophant like myself. Eventually I came to accept what I was repeatedly told by various ones as I became familiar with the language as a “must be true” situation. In my time before leaving that work, not one report reached me of his love for anyone professing. It it was an otherwise unbelievable accounting of a modern day ”ruler” who had gone enormously wrong over the years, with none to rebuke nor admonish him. That leaven was observable to me over and over across the world. Soon found out it literally was unmentionable, with the greatest cost should one do so. Reading in places like this, I perceive it was in no way an anomaly in that group.
Sad. As is the end result for kind loving people who cannot be tolerated should they ever speak out about the prevalence of that leaven. Sad, sad, sad! It is even still obviously prevalent in forums like these.
Shut up! Keep silent! Or face the consequences of group censure. Long, sad sigh.

If that is what you believe, then that is what you believe.
My memory was activated by another’s post, not by any lack of “peace.”

Do I understand you correctly, you equate past grief with sorrow over such a thing with lack of present peace?
