13: Wait on the Lord – Singing with Inpsiration
The beautiful picture on the front of our lesson pamphlet brings us our theme hymn for this quarter with its two variations in melody: Hym 552/546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd.
Psalm 30:4
“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.”
The climax of our quarter’s studies has brought us to
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope. Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to this week’s studies then shows 
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less – Hymn 522 and
Hymn 535 – I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus to help me to be
Bringing In The Sheaves – Hymn 369.
Sunday explains all about what waiting is:
Hymn 287 – The Church Has Waited Long and like our church, and for many people,
The Saviour Is Waiting – Hymn 289. The day’s study finishes with
We Have This Hope – Hymn 214.
The study of Psalm 131 on Monday encourages us to see “God to be faithful and true to His Word”:
Hymn 100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
Bringing In The Sheaves – Hymn 369 is pointed out to us on Tuesday and that we can still
Praise Him! Praise Him – Hymn 249 as the people did in their further captivity (Psalm 126:1).
The beautiful Sabbath Rest we had yesterday (as I write this now) is expounded more on Wednesday, and in
Hymn 381 – Holy Sabbath, Day Of Rest and Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.
We all await the joy that comes in the morning and can sing this heartily in
Hymn 430 – Joy By And By.
May we all “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7) as we complete this quarter’s studies and then learn more of the Great Controversy in our next quarter’s studies.

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/Search 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.”
