Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6

Waiting 'till my Lord I see, And be like him forever pure, At the heav'nly jubilee, This bliss to me is sure. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7

Human these, angelic those, Where for refuge shall we flee? Christ our great redemption see! 6 Seraphs, flames of sacred fire, View this myst'ry with desire; Hark! the bright enraptur'd throng Catch, and raise the grateful song. 7 O ye thrones of heav'nly light, Since you're sav'd from endless night, And since we are rais'd to you, Let us still the song pursue. Scripture: Romans 3:9-10

The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: BRIGGS
