Hymns for the Bible Lesson Sermon: Mortals and Immortals
Hymn 382
What is thy birthright, man,
Child of the perfect One;
What is thy Father’s plan
For His beloved son?
Thou art Truth’s honest child,
Of pure and sinless heart;
Thou treadest undefiled
In Christly paths apart.
Vain dreams shall disappear
As Truth dawns on the sight;
The phantoms of thy fear
Shall flee before the light.
Take then the sacred rod;
Thou art not error’s thrall;
Thou hast the gift of God—
Dominion over all.
Hymn 139
I walk with Love along the way,
And O, it is a holy day;
No more I suffer cruel fear,
I feel God’s presence with me here;
The joy that none can take away
Is mine; I walk with Love today.
Who walks with Love along the way,
Shall talk with Love and Love obey;
God’s healing truth is free to all,
Our Father answers every call;
’Tis He dispels the clouds of gray
That all may walk with Love today.
Come, walk with Love along the way,
Let childlike trust be yours today;
Uplift your thought, with courage go,
Give of your heart’s rich overflow,
And peace shall crown your joy-filled day.
Come, walk with Love along the way.
Hymn 572
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you.
Allelu, alleluia!
Ask and it shall be given unto you.
Seek and ye shall find,
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.
Allelu, alleluia!
We do not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God.
Allelu, alleluia!
DESCANT
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
