47, 351, Judges 2:1-7

response reading 47. psalm 105
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."


hymnal 351
1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus
Going on before; Christ the ro8yal Master leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, See His banners go.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.

2 At the sound of triumph Satan's host doth flee; on then, Christian soldiers,
Onto victory; hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.

3 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms wax and wane, but the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain; gates of hell can never against that church prevail
we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.

4 Onward, then, ye people, Join our happy throng, blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song; glory, laud, and honor unto Christ our King
This thro countless ages men adn angels sing.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.


Judges 2:1-7
1 The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you,
2 and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.' Yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this?
3 Now therefore I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you."
4 When the angel of the LORD had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,
5 and they called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to the LORD.
6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.
7 The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.


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.
