09: From Contamination to Purification – 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 quarter’s Sabbath School study time.
The Sabbath afternoon introduction shows we find our atonement is made by Christ in
Hymn 335, What a Wonderful Savior and Hymn 341, To God Be the Glory.
We find on Sunday that God had spoken through his prophet Daniel the unfolding of history to come, as in
Hymn 413, God Has Spoken by His Prophets.
The papacy tries to take the place of Christ as our High Priest in heaven (Tuesday). We find our High Priest in
Hymn 179, The Wonders of Redeeming Love,
Hymn 238, How Sweet the Name!,
Hymn 249, Praise Him! Praise Him!, and
Hymn 145, Songs of Thankfulness and Praise.
Further, on Tuesday, Jesus is the Truth, as is the Word of God –
Hymn 203, This Is the Threefold Truth,
Hymn 221, Rejoice, the Lord Is King,
Hymn 274, O Word of God Incarnate and
Hymn 279, Only Trust Him.
Sinners bring their offerings to the sanctuary for cleansing (Wednesday) –
Hymn 318, Whiter Than Snow,
Hymn 282, I Hear Thy Welcome Voice,
Hymn 294, Power in the Blood and
Hymn 355, What a Wonderful Savior.
The question I ask myself is in
Hymn 416, The Judgment Has Set.
God’s blessings as you enjoy your “Singing with Inspiration” this quarter.
