The Lamb of God

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Thou shalt not sacrifice

Unto the LORD thy God

Any bullock,

Or sheep,

Wherein is blemish,

Or any evilfavouredness:

For that is an abomination

Unto the LORD thy God.

And lo a voice

From heaven, saying,

This is my beloved Son,

In whom

I am well pleased.

The next day

John seeth Jesus

Coming unto him,

And saith,

Behold

The Lamb of God,

Which taketh away

The sin of the world.

Praise the Lord

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And the LORD hath avouched thee

This day

To be his peculiar people,

As he hath promised thee,

And that thou shouldest keep

All his commandments;

And to make thee

High above all nations

Which he hath made,

In praise,

And in name,

And in honour;

And that thou mayest be

An holy people

Unto the LORD thy God,

As he hath spoken.

Let all those that seek

Thee rejoice

And be glad in thee:

Let such as love thy salvation

Say continually,

The LORD be magnified.

Deuteronomy 26:18,19

Psalm 40:16

Praise God

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Praise ye the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary:

Praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his mighty acts:

Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:

Praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Praise him with the timbrel and dance:

Praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Praise him upon the loud cymbals:

Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Let every thing

That hath breath

Praise the LORD.

Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 150

No darkness

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThis then is the message

Which we have heard of him,

And declare unto you,

That God is light,

And in him is no darkness

At all.

The LORD went before them

By day

In a pillar of a cloud,

To lead them the way;

And by night

In a pillar of fire,

To give them light;

To go by day and night:

And the LORD

Spake unto Moses, saying,

Command the children of Israel,

That they bring unto thee

Pure oil olive beaten

For the light,

To cause the lamps

To burn continually.

Bless the LORD,

O my soul.

O LORD my God,

Thou art very great;

Thou art clothed

With honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself

With light

As with a garment:

Who stretchest out the heavens

Like a curtain:

Ye are all

The children of light,

And the children

Of the day:

We are not of the night,

Nor of darkness.

Ye are a chosen generation,

A royal priesthood,

An holy nation,

A peculiar people;

That ye should shew forth

The praises of him

Who hath called you

Out of darkness

Into his marvellous light:

Everlasting

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And the bow

Shall be in the cloud;

And I will look upon it,

That I may remember

The everlasting covenant

Between God

And every living creature

Of all flesh

That is upon the earth.

For the LORD is good;

His mercy is everlasting;

And his truth endureth

To all generations.

Now the God of peace,

That brought again

From the dead

Our Lord Jesus,

That great shepherd of the sheep,

Through the blood

Of the everlasting covenant,

Make you perfect

In every good work

To do his will,

Working in you

That which is wellpleasing

In his sight,

Through Jesus Christ;

To whom be glory

For ever and ever.

Amen.

Visible and invisible

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

By faith Moses,

When he was come to years,

Refused to be called

The son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

Choosing rather

To suffer affliction

With the people of God,

Than to enjoy

The pleasures of sin

For a season;

Esteeming the reproach of Christ

Greater riches

Than the treasures in Egypt:

For he had respect

Unto the recompence

Of the reward.

By faith

He forsook Egypt,

Not fearing

The wrath of the king:

For he endured,

As seeing him

Who is invisible.

For the invisible things of him

From the creation of the world

Are clearly seen,

Being understood

By the things that are made,

Even his eternal power

And Godhead;

So that they are without excuse:

Giving thanks unto the Father,

Which hath made us meet

To be partakers

Of the inheritance

Of the saints in light:

Who hath delivered us

From the power of darkness,

And hath translated us

Into the kingdom

Of his dear Son:

In whom we have redemption

Through his blood,

Even the forgiveness of sins:

Who is the image

Of the invisible God,

The firstborn of every creature:

For by him

Were all things created,

That are in heaven,

And that are in earth,

Visible and invisible,

Whether they be thrones,

Or dominions,

Or principalities,

Or powers:

All things were created

By him,

And for him:

And he is before all things,

And by him all things consist.

And he is the head

Of the body,

The church:

Who is the beginning,

The firstborn from the dead;

That in all things

He might have the preeminence.

Now unto the King eternal,

Immortal, invisible,

The only wise God,

Be honour and glory

For ever and ever.

Amen.

A new song

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sing unto him a new song;

Play skilfully

With a loud noise.

And he hath put a new song

In my mouth,

Even praise unto our God:

Many shall see it,

And fear,

And shall trust in the LORD.

O sing unto the LORD

A new song:

Sing unto the LORD,

All the earth.

O sing unto the LORD

A new song;

For he hath done

Marvellous things:

His right hand,

And his holy arm,

Hath gotten him the victory

I will sing a new song unto thee,

O God: upon a psaltery

And an instrument of ten strings

Will I sing praises unto thee.

Psalm 33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9

The whole heart

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I will praise thee, O LORD,

With my whole heart;

I will shew forth

All thy marvellous works.

Praise ye the LORD.

I will praise the LORD

With my whole heart,

In the assembly of the upright,

And in the congregation.

With my whole heart

Have I sought thee:

O let me not wander

From thy commandments.

Give me understanding,

And I shall keep thy law;

Yea, I shall observe it

With my whole heart.

And I will give them

An heart to know me,

That I am the LORD:

And they shall be my people,

And I will be their God:

For they shall return unto me

With their whole heart.

Jeremiah 24:7

Wait on the Lord

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Wait ye upon me,

Saith the LORD,

Until the day

That I rise up to the prey:

For my determination

Is to gather the nations,

That I may assemble the kingdoms,

To pour upon them

Mine indignation,

Even all my fierce anger:

For all the earth

Shall be devoured

With the fire of my jealousy.

For then will I turn

To the people

A pure language,

That they may all call

Upon the name of the LORD,

To serve him with one consent.

Zephaniah 3:8,9

The Lord be glorified

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And the multitudes

That went before,

And that followed, cried, saying,

Hosanna to the Son of David:

Blessed is he that cometh

In the name of the Lord;

Hosanna in the highest

And when the chief priests and scribes saw

The wonderful things that he did,

And the children crying in the temple,

And saying,

Hosanna to the Son of David;

They were sore displeased,

And they that went before,

And they that followed, cried, saying,

Hosanna; Blessed is he

That cometh in the name of the Lord:

Blessed be the kingdom

Of our father David,

That cometh in the name of the Lord:

On the next day

Much people

That were come to the feast,

When they heard

That Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Took branches of palm trees,

And went forth to meet him,

And cried, Hosanna:

Blessed is the King of Israel

That cometh in the name of the Lord.

The blood of Jesus

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

For the life of the flesh

Is in the blood:

And I have given it to you

Upon the altar

To make an atonement

For your souls:

For it is the blood

That maketh an atonement

For the soul.

Take heed therefore

Unto yourselves,

And to all the flock,

Over the which the Holy Ghost

Hath made you overseers,

To feed the church of God,

Which he hath purchased

With his own blood.

In whom we have redemption

Through his blood,

The forgiveness of sins,

According to the riches

Of his grace.

Who his own self

Bare our sins

In his own body

On the tree,

That we,

Being dead to sins,

Should live unto righteousness:

By whose stripes

Ye were healed.

And I said unto him,

Sir, thou knowest.

And he said to me,

These are they

Which came out

Of great tribulation,

And have washed their robes,

And made them white

In the blood of the Lamb.
