57, 270, 320718 response reading 57. Psalms 130. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; O LOrd, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O LORD, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen wait for the morning. more than watchmen wait for the morning. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD. for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. hymnal 270 1 Let us sing of his love once again, Of the love that can never decay, Of the blood of the Lamb who was slain, Till we praise him again in that day. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. 2 There is cleansing and healing for all Who will wash in the Life-giving flood; There is perfect deliverance and joy To be had in this world through the blood. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. 3 Then we’ll march in his name, till we come At his bidding to cease from the fight; And our Saviour shall welcome us home To the mansions of glory and light. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. 4 So with banners unfurled to the breeze, Our motto shall holiness be, Till the crown from his hand we shall seize, And the King in his glory we see. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. I believe Jesus saves, And his blood makes me whiter than snow. Deut. 32:7-18 7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you. 8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. 9 For the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. 10 In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, 11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions. 12 The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him. 13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag, 14 with curds and milk from herd and flock and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape. 15 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, he became heavy and sleek. He abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his Savior. 16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols. 17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God-- gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear. 18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth. 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.
