10, 243, 3:18-29

response reading 10. psalm 16.
Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

hymnal 243
1 Face to face with Christ, my Savior, face to face what will it be?
When with rapture, face to face I behold Him. Face to face with Christ,
my Savior with rapture I behold Him, who died for me.
Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky,
face to face in His glory face to face in all glory
face to face I shall behold Him by and  by.
2 Only faintly now I see Him, with the darkling veil between,
But a blessed day is coming very soon, when His glory shall be seen, hallelujah,
face to face Hs is coming, I shall behold Him, who died for me.
Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky,
face to face in His glory face to face in all glory
face to face I shall behold Him by and by.
3 What rejoicing in His presence, when are banished grief and pain;
when the crooked ways are straightened at once, and the dark things shall be plain, hallelujah
when He will come. Face to face I shall behold Him, who died for me.
Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky,
face to face in His glory face to face in all glory
face to face I shall behold Him by and by.
4 Face to face O blissful moment! Face to face to see and know;
face to face with my Redeemer of my soul, Jesus Christ who loves me so!
Hallelujah, I shall see Him, face to face I shall behold Him, who died for me.
Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky,
face to face in His glory face to face in all glory
face to face I shall behold Him by and by.


Deut. 3:18-29
18 I commanded you at that time: "The LORD your God has given you this land to take possession of it. But all your able-bodied men, armed for battle, must cross over ahead of your brother Israelites.
19 However, your wives, your children and your livestock (I know you have much livestock) may stay in the towns I have given you,
20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the LORD your God is giving them, across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you."
21 At that time I commanded Joshua: "You have seen with your own eyes all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms over there where you are going.
22 Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you."
23 At that time I pleaded with the LORD :
24 "O Sovereign LORD, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do?
25 Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan--that fine hill country and Lebanon."
26 But because of you the LORD was angry with me and would not listen to me. "That is enough," the LORD said. "Do not speak to me anymore about this matter.
27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan.
28 But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see."
29 So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.


Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen.
