10 Sabbath Rest – Singing with Inspiration

Rest. The word used most frequently in our Sabbath School Lesson pamphlet this quarter. “Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!” These are words repeated each verse of
Hymn 387 – Come, O Sabbath Day, our theme hymn for this quarter.

We could add to the theme
Hymn 529 – Under His Wings. Each week of study this quarter, gives more and more of showing God’s deepest care for us, His children. As God’s children we find out about the Biblical family growing pains, and this still happens today. Yet, we are still “under His wings”.

The title Sabbath Rest is found in
Hymn 381 – Holy Sabbath Day of Rest. We are reminded
Don’t Forget the Sabbath in Hymn 388. The theme of Sabbath is continued in
Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.

During the week of study we find the
Crowning Jewel of Creation – Hymn 385 is the Sabbath Day.

Sabbath and Creation on Sunday, is in
Hymn 386 – The Sacred Anthem. We are able to ask our God to ‘Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning’ in
Hymn 389 – Light of Light, Enlighten Me. It is then that we may enjoy the Sabbath as in
Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.

We give
Praise to the Lord – Hymn 1, the Almighty, the King of Creation. This theme is also in
Hymn 147 – Christ Upon the Mountain Peak (verse 4)

In preparation for the Sabbath Day we sing
Hymn 392 – Dear Lord We Come At Set of Sun and then worship the
Lord of the Sabbath – Hymn 393. We are then
Far From All Care – Hymn 394 and can enjoy the wonders of the Sabbath Day. We again praise the
Lord of Creation – Hymn 320.

Freedom from our earthly bondage is found in
Hymn 292 – Jesus, I Come. We are able to ask
Gracious Father, Guard Thy Children – Hymn 621 (verse 3).

We are thankful to be
Safely Through Another Week – Hymn 384 to worship on the Sabbath Day.

Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.
