7. OpeningSong • How Great Thou Art • Stuart K. Hine, 1953 • Hymnal # 77

8. O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

9. Then Sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art.

10. When through the woods and forest glades I wander, and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

11. Then Sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art.

12. And when I think that God his son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the on cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin.

13. Then Sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee; how great thou art, how great thou art.

14. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

16. The devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here.  10 For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” 12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA

37. 9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.  2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned,  this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus,  “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.  4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.  5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.  7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam.”  So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

39. 8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel…Choose  a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified. 45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name  of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.  46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down …and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.  47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
