... hope in His word to me



Thine is the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the victory, Thou o’er death hast won;
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.

[i]Refrain[/i]
[i]Thine is the glory, risen conqu’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won[/i].

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.

[i]Refrain[/i]

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conqu’rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.

[i]Refrain[/i]

1 Corinthians 9:22 - 27
I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? [b]Run in such a way that you may obtain it[/b].

And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, [b]but we for an imperishable crown[/b].

[b]Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty[/b]. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But [b]I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified[/b].

... the leading of His Spirit in practical matters



Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!

1 Corinthians 10:1 - 5
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink.

For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

... the fresh rising of His Spirit from that well of living water



Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit,
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit;
Let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its Beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish, then, Thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

1 Corinthians 10:6 - 10
[b]Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted[/b].

And [b]do not become[/b] idolaters as were some of them. As it is written,

"The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

[b]Nor let us commit[/b] sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; [b]nor let us tempt Christ[/b], as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; [b]nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer[/b].

... a good sleep and a whole lot of peace



You, Lord, are worthy of all my heartfelt praise!
You, Lord, have conquered, to reign through endless days!
You, Lord, are risen, ascended far above!
You, Lord, have given the Spirit of Your love!

1 Corinthians 10:11, 12
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

[b]Therefore[/b] let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

...Truth revealed.

... more of His tender love to me in more ways than I can count



Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
Of glory enter may.
But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
E’en that same Lord that great in might
And strong in battle is—
E’en that same Lord that great in might
And strong in battle is.

Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
Of glory enter may.
But who is He that is the King
Of glory? Who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but He
The King of Glory is—
The Lord of hosts, and none but He
The King of Glory is.

1 Corinthians 10:13, 14
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

[b]Therefore[/b], my beloved, [b]flee from idolatry[/b].

... keeping the word He put in my heart, strength, practical progress, wisdom and yet more hope in His ordering of my life ...



Within the veil, be this belove'd thy portion,
Within the secret of thy Lord to dwell
Beholding Him, until thy face His glory,
Thy life His love, thy lips His praise shall tell.

Within the veil, for only as thou gazest
Upon the matchless beauty of His face
Canst thou become a living revelation
Of His great heart of love, His untold grace.

Within the veil, His fragrance pour'd upon thee,
Without the veil, that fragrance shed abroad,
Within the veil, His hand shall tune the music
Which sounds on earth the praises of thy Lord.

Within the veil, thy spirit deeply anchored,
Thou walkest calm above a world of strife;
Within in the veil, they sould with Him united,
Shall live on earth His resurrection life.

EDIT:

Hebrews 10:19 - 22
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.


1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 Corinthians 10:15, 16

I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?

The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?




... for His great sacrifice and love.

Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

[i]Chorus

Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in
Nothing Compares to the promise I have In
YOU![/i]

Repeat above

Nothing compares to the promise I have in YOU!

How good is the God we adore,
Our faithful unchangeable Friend!
His love is as great as His power,
And knows neither measure nor end!

’Tis Jesus the First and the Last,
Whose Spirit shall Guide us safe home,
We’ll praise Him for all that is past,
And trust Him for all that’s to come.

1 Corinthians 10:17 - 22
For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?

Are we stronger than He?
