10: Lessons of the Past – Singing with Inspiration
The beautiful picture on the front of our lesson pamphlet brings us our theme hymn for this quarter with its two variations in melody:
Hymn 552/546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd.
Psalm 57:9 “I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations”.
“In numerous psalms, praise takes the form of narrating the Lord’s mighty acts of salvation” as do
Hymn 646 – To The Name That Brings Salvation and
Hymn 339 – God Is My Strong Salvation. Just as the people in the past needed God’s help, we also can request
O God, Our Help – Hymn 103.
Sunday gives us the wonderful hymn
Great Is Thy Faithfulness – Hymn 100 which helps to sum up the study of the day.
Monday’s study commences with the inspiration of being faithful:
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful and takes us on a small journey of our Shepherd’s leading in
He Leadeth Me – Hymn 537 and then shows our growth in
I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus – Hymn 535.
Our repentance transforms our past story in the
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109 of our Loving Lord throughout Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday’s study times. Then, with our hearts overwhelmed by His marvellous grace, “the psalm demonstrates that God is to be praised as both Creator and Savior of His people”:
The God of Abraham Praise – Hymn 11
