O splendor of God’s glory bright,
O thou that bringest light from light,
O Light of Light, light’s living spring,
O Day, all days illumining.
O thou true Sun, on us thy glance
let fall in royal radiance,
the Spirit’s sanctifying beam
upon our earthly senses stream.
The Father, too, our prayers implore,
Father of glory evermore;
the Father of all grace and might,
to banish sin from our delight.
To guide whate’er we nobly do,
with love all envy to subdue,
to make ill-fortune turn to fair,
and give us grace our wrongs to bear.
Our mind be in his keeping placed
our body true to him and chaste,
where only faith her fire shall feed,
to burn the tares of Satan’s seed.
And Christ to us for food shall be,
from him our drink that welleth free,
the Spirit’s wine, that maketh whole,
and, mocking not, exalts the soul.
Rejoicing may this day go hence,
like virgin dawn our innocence,
like fiery noon our faith appear,
now know the gloom of twilight drear.
Morn in her rosy car is borne;
let him come forth our perfect morn,
the Word in God the Father one,
the Father perfect in the Son.
—Robert Bridges, 1899
1Jn 5:10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
1Jn 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
Oh precious Jesus, be glorified and honored in our lives today.
I thank you that by your Word I can KNOW that you are the Son of God, sent for my Salvation, and that because you live, I know I have redemption and eternal Life.
I thank you that through your Word I can be sure of my Salvation that you have “finished”.
Lead us like a Shepherd, into green pastures, beside still waters, in paths of Righteousness for your Name’s sake.
I lift you up. You are my King.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
May you be seen by those looking for you with a whole heart.
Comfort those who grieve; hold up those who are weary; touch those who need your intervention, I humbly and confidently ask.
Psa 66:1 To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
Psa 66:2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!
Psa 66:3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
Psa 66:4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah
I Remember this Beautiful Song from Years Ago, and Wanted to Post it Here:
RISE AGAIN (Lyrics and Composer: Dallas Holm}
"Go ahead drive the nails in my hands,
Laugh at me where you stand,
Go ahead and say it isn't me,
The day will come when you will see,
‘Cause I’ll rise again,
There’s no power on earth can tie me down,
Yes I’ll rise again,
Death can’t keep me in the ground,
Go ahead and mock my name,
My love for you is still the same,
Go ahead and bury me,
But very soon I will be free,
‘Cause I’ll rise again,
There’s no power on earth can tie me down,
Yes I’ll rise again,
Death can’t keep me in the ground,
Go ahead and say I’m dead and gone,
But you will see that you were wrong,
Go ahead and try to hide the Son,
But all will see that I’m the one,
‘Cause I’ll come again,
There’s no power on earth can keep me back,
Yes I’ll come again,
Come to take my people back"
O Master our King, how we Wish this was the Day of Your Return! For So Long, Men have Mocked You, and Scorned Thy Blessed Name. We Long to See Thee Crowned as Eternity's King! May Thy Righteous Reign Come Soon, our Loving Savior-Lord.
Thank You for Caring for us, and for Dying that we Might Live. Be Pleased to Touch Thy Children with Blessing and Grace, as we Pray in our Shepherd's Name, amen.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph.2:4-9)
