The Sabbath

AN EVENING HYMN The happy sunshine all is gone; The gloomy night comes swiftly on: But shine Thou still, O Christ our Light, Nor let us lose ourselves in night. We thank Thee, Father, that this day, ! The angels watched around our way, [ And free from harm and vexing fear, Have led us on in safety here. Lord, have we anger’d Thee today? Remember not our sins, we pray, But let Thy mercy o’er them sweep, And give us calm and restful sleep. Thy angels guard our sleeping hours, And keep afar all evil powers; And Thou all pain and mischief ward From soul and body, faithful Lord! —N. Hermann. TEXTS FOR THE WEEK We Can Safely Trust God: Let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for He is faithful that promised.—Hebrews 10:23. God Will Multiply Your Physical Inheritance By Infinity: As many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on His name.— John 1:12. Life’s Real Satisfactions Are Spiritual: I am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.—John 6:35. If You Are Bewildered by Life Take This Light: I am the Light of the World: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.—John 8:12. If You Covet Honours Forget About Them: If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be. If any man serve Me, him will the Father honour.—John 12:26. This Is The Magical Talisman: If a man love Me, he will keep My word: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.—John 14.23. Try to Deserve This Promotion: No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known unto you.—John 15:15.
