4: God is Passionate and Compassionate — Singing with Inspiration
The studies in this quarters pamphlet encourage us to see God’s Love and Justice, just as we may sing in
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True! which is a beautiful theme hymn for our studies.
Praise Ye The Father – Hymn 70 tells us of the great compassion of our Saviour (verse 2), as does 
Great Is Thy Faithfulness – Hymn 100 in verse 1. There are more hymns telling us of the beautiful compassion of our Father and Saviour:
Love Divine – Hymn 191 (verse 1),
God Be Merciful To Me – Hymn 297 (verse 1),
Where Cross The Crowded Way – Hymn 355 (verse 3) and,
Lord, Whose Love In Humble Service – Hymn 363 (verse 2), just to name a few.
The amazing love of a mother discussed on Sunday, shows up in verse 2 of
Hymn 565 – For The Beauty Of The Earth along with
Hymn 29 – Sing Praise To God (verse 3) and
There’s A Song In The Air – Hymn 120 (verse 1). And, yes, there are more of these in our wonderful hymn book. “God relates to us as His beloved children” and this is sung in
Hymn 101 – Children Of The Heavenly Father.
The last hymn just written about,
Children Of The Heavenly Father – Hymn 101 shows the unfathomable love of our Father God as studied on Monday.
The Compassion of Jesus (Tuesday) returns to us in
Love Divine – Hymn 191 (verse 1).
The love studied on Thursday is such that it “can be exemplified in our lives only as the fruit of the Holy Spirit”. Let as ask for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as in
Hymn 266 – Spirit of God and
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit. We can then
Sing Praise To God – Hymn 29. As we draw to a close on Thursday’s study, we are told “we cannot change our hearts, but that only God can”, hence we plead for this in
Hymn 584 – There’s A Spirit In The Air (verse 6). We are then very grateful to have
A Diligent And Grateful Heart – Hymn 639.
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.
