Having scanned through the lesson quarterly, there are so many hymns from which to choose a theme. In effect, there is a commencing theme hymn which changes through the quarter to the finale theme hymn. To start with, we could use:
Hymn 552 – The Lord’s My Shepherd or 
Hymn 545 – Savior, Like a Shepherd.

Somewhere in the middle of the quarter one could change the theme and add in
Hymn 159 – On a Hill Far Away which is where we complete our studies in Lesson 13.

 Patience – how does one learn this? “The Lord tells us to cultivate it” (Sabbath afternoon’s introduction). We learn the aspects of patience in 
Hymn 81 – Though I Speak With Tongues (verse 2). Meantime, we wait patiently as has The Church: 
Hymn 217 – The Church Has Waited Long. We may learn patience from our Saviour in 
Hymn 289 – The Savior Is Waiting.

Sunday encourages us to “maintain peace and trust in God” while learning patience:
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him,
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust in God to Guide You,
Hymn 524 – ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,
Hymn 535 – I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus (Psalm 37:5), and
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey.

 We are to “focus on the One who holds those things in His hands”: 
Hymn 90 – Eternal God Whose Power Upholds.

 Monday raises the question of “why Jesus is waiting to come the second time”, but we are reminded the wonders of this in:
Hymn 212 – ‘Tis Almost Time for the Lord to Come,
Hymn 218 – When He Cometh,
Hymn 220 – When He Comes,
Hymn 219 – When Jesus Comes in Glory, and
Hymn 215 – The King Shall Come, all because My Faith Looks Up to Thee – Hymn 517.

 Wednesday finishes with the hymns of our “trusting faith” and “the goodness and mercy of God”: 
Hymn 110 – God’s Free Mercy Streameth.

Thursday continues the theme of trust and completes the study with 
Praise Him! Praise Him – Hymn 241. We are at liberty to ask 
O For a Heart to Praise My God – Hymn 323 so 
We Praise Thee With Our Minds – Hymn 642. There are many hymns from which to choose that show our praise and adoration of our Mighty God.

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 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.”
