13: Final Restoration of Unity – Singing with Inspiration
We are at the end of another year and much closer to our Lord, Jesus returning.
Our memory text sings to us
Hymn 633, “When We All Get to Heaven”. The introduction following this, give us four amazing hymns:
Hymn 213, “Jesus Is Coming Again”,
Hymn 214, “We Have This Hope”,
Hymn 211, “Lo! He Comes” and Hymn 217, “The Church Has Waited Long”. These four hymn themes continue to
reoccur throughout the week.
It is a long time, over 2 millennia that Christians have waited for the return of Jesus, says Sunday’s study. When will our Lord return?
Hymn 207, “It May Be At Morn”. Then we will see our Saviour
“Face to Face” – Hymn 206. Meantime we are
“Standing on the Promises” – Hymn 518 and return once again to
Hymn 214, “We Have This Hope”. Psalm 50:5, “Gather My saints…..” gives us the final hymn for Sunday,
Hymn 208, “There’ll Be No Dark Valley”.
Monday we learn about the perfect world made for Adam and Eve and in this age, we are solemnly reminded this world is not my home, but
“Until then, my heart will go on singing” – Hymn 632. At the end of this study, our “voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise” for our redemption –
Hymn 337/338, “Redeemed!”
On Christmas Day we are shown that Christ was resurrected. We too, may see this great day, and be reunited with loved ones who have slept. We will all see Jesus coming again:
Hymn 166, “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today”.
Hymn 420, “Jerusalem, My Happy Home” and
Hymn 429, “Jerusalem the Golden” help to tell the story of what Heaven will be like.
A song not in our hymnbook, written by Jeff Wood and recorded by The Heritage Singers, says:
Side by side we stand, awaiting God’s command
Worshipping the saving king, living by his grace
And moving on in faith, Jesus himself will see us through.
Chorus:
Meet me in heaven, We’ll join hands together
Meet me by the Savior’s side, I’ll meet you in heaven we’ll sing songs together
Brothers and sisters, I’ll be there
Soldiers all are we, to go where Jesus leads
We’ll fight in faith, and we will overcome
Heaven is our goal, to save in every soul
Pray that we all will be there.
May we all meet in Heaven very soon!! Hallelujah!!
