12: From North and South to the Beautiful Land – Singing with Inspiration
The hymn 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.
The people longed to go home to their Beautiful Land. I am sure they would have said
Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appears, Hymn 446.
Once again, we have Daniel as the prophet telling us of what is to unfold for our future –
Hymn 413, God Has Spoken by His Prophets. God unveils the plans through Daniel –
Hymn 275, O God of Light.
We are reminded that we have the God who knows the future (Monday) so we can then say
Be Still, My Soul, Hymn 461.
The Glorious Land comes to us again on Tuesday –
Jerusalem the Golden, Hymn 429 and
Hymn 420, Jerusalem, My Happy Home.
The Final Events of Thursday will tell us to
Look for the Waymarks, Hymn 596.
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.”
