Dear Brothers and Sisters, Prayer will be held at the Daming home.

On Sunday evening, we will be holding a discussion meeting regarding the proposed changes to the constitution.

In our scripture passage this week (Isaiah 24:13-23) Isaiah continues his explanation of divine judgment upon the whole world. He pictures a religious world, that sings as if to praise the Lord, but in reality it is only lip service. That lip service will be accompanied by “the noise of the fear,” as they attempt to flee the judgment of God. But, there is no place to hide. Why? Lord of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem And before His elders, gloriously” (v23). This scene will be experienced by the religious people of the world who have not believed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and loved Him from the heart and turned from their sins. But, there is refuge in Mount Zion and those who dwell there will “hear the joyful sound.” (Psalm 89:15.)

The songs we will be singing are below:

Standing on the Promises #410
Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring
“Glory in the highest!” I will shout and sing
Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living Word of God I shall prevail
Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free
Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises, I cannot fall
List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my All in All
Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God

A Shield About Me #709
Thou, O Lord, are a shield about me
You’re my glory, You’re the lifter of my head
Thou, O Lord, are a shield about me
You’re my glory, You’re the lifter of my head
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
You’re the lifter of my head
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
You’re the lifter of my head

Psalm 2
Why do heathen nations rage?
Why do peoples folly mind?
Kings of earth in plots engage,
Rulers are in league combined;
Then against Jehovah high,
And against Messiah’s sway,
“Let us break their bands,” they cry,
“Let us cast their cords away.”

But the Lord will scorn them all;
He will laugh Who sits on high.
Then His wrath will on them fall;
Sore displeased He will reply:
“Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion’s holy hill
My Anointed I’ll maintain.”

His decree I will make known;
Unto Me the Lord did say,
“Thou art My beloved Son;
I’ve begotten Thee this day.
Ask of Me, and Thee I’ll make
Heir to earth and nations all;
Them with iron Thou shalt break,
Dashing them in pieces small.”

Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Serve the Lord with godly fear;
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, His wrath to turn,
Lest ye perish in the way,
For His anger soon will burn.
Blessed are all that on Him stay.
Amen

Speak O Lord
Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow’r that can never fail –
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us –
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All Thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee!

Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blest
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine!

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Love divine is reigning o’er us
Leading us with mercy’s hand
Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
