"O DAY FOR WHICH CREATION...and ALL ITS TRIBES WERE MADE...."

 


 "O DAY FOR WHICH CREATION....and ALL ITS  TRIBES WERE MADE.."



 TEN THOUSAND TIMES

       TEN THOUSAND"






    PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,  1920

                Taiban, New Mexico


"Ten thousand times ten thousand,

  In sparkling raiment bright

The armies of the ransom'd saints

 Throng up the steeps of light.

'Tis ''tis finish'd all ‘‘tis finish’d”

 Their fight with death and sin,

Fling open wide the golden gates

 And let the victors in.


What rush of Hallelujahs

 Fills all the earth and sky!

What ringing of a thousand harps

  Bespeaks the triumph nigh!

O day for which Creation

 And all its tribes were made!

O joy for all its former woes

  A thousand-fold repaid!


O then for rapturous greetings

  On Canaan's happy shore,

Where partings are no more..."


......Hymn by HENRY ALFORD.

            (1810-1871)

----------

      PRAYER for this Lord's Day:


       "O our Great Heavenly Father,

         somehow in Thy deep wisdom

       and mercy, help us, Thy believers 

       still here in this world.. to keep the

      Hate and Evil walking the

        Earth....out of our hearts.


            For Jesus,

               Amen
