03: From Mystery to Revelation – Singing with Inspiration
The hymn that will be used as the theme for this quarter is from “The Church Hymnal, Official Hymnal of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church” which was surpassed by the “Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal” in 1985.In the ‘old’ hymnal, Number 497 – Standing by a Purpose True, that is, ”Dare to be a Daniel” will be the favourite. I do hope you are able to source this hymn and use it frequently during this quarters Sabbath School study time.
On Sabbath afternoon we learned of different winds driving icebergs, then looking at our lives we are able to see that God looks after the winds that swirl around us in
Hymn 519 “Give to the Winds Your Fears”. Like the four Hebrew young men,
”All My Hope on God Is Founded” Hymn 5 we see God’s help through change and chance.
On Sunday we find Daniel daring to request time from Arioch. I do hope you have
“Dare to be a Daniel” available for this study. Adding to that we find the Daniel asked for God’s leading:
Hymn 537 “He Leadeth Me”.
There are a number of hymns about Prayer (Sunday’s study) with the first choice being:
Hymn 501 “Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer”. I am sure that Daniel and three friends said:
“At First I Prayed for Light” Hymn 488, then strength and faith to receive the dream of Nebuchadnezzar.
We find the rock/stone in Daniel 2:34, and following verses, is our God. This is found in:
Hymn 347 “Built on the Rock”. In Daniel 2:35 the stone becomes a mountain that we look forward to going to in
Hymn 450 “Beautiful Zion”.
God’s blessings as you enjoy your “Singing with Inspiration” this quarter.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
