4. Richard Sibbes

The old hymn, "One Day When Heaven Was Filled With His Praises," is an overall theme that can remind us of five Puritan preachers and scholars: John Bunyan, Robert Murray M'Cheyne, William Perkins, Richard Sibbes, John Owen. Although the hymn was written a few hundred years after these preachers, it reminds us of the Christ they proclaimed in their own time-zone. Each preacher plus Biblical references, is introduced by a line from the Chorus; 'Living, He loved me; -- Dying He saved me; -- Buried, He carried my sins far away; -- Rising, He justified freely forever; --One day He's coming, O glorious day'.
