That's just singing. That song is very uplifting.
I couldn't help but think what
Spurgeon did one time concerning that second verse. They had sung a hymn and Brother
Spurgeon was looking out over the audience and saw some folks
not singing. And so he got up and announced
the next hymn. And he said, we're going to sing. Come we that love the Lord, that
great hymn by Isaac Watson, we will begin with verse number
two. Let those refuse to sing who
never knew our God. While you were singing that,
I looked up and every person in here was singing, so I'm glad.
Every person down at Joseph Farris. All right, Exodus 15. Exodus 15, that last verse of
that hymn, said to them, let every tear be dry. All right, the 15th chapter of
Exodus contains that song of Moses. As we noted, it's in Revelation
15, too. It's what believers in heaven
are singing right now. Right now. That's what it said. They're singing that right now.
It's a song of God's glory, a song of God's sovereign salvation
of his people. This was sung right after the
Lord delivered the Israelites from the Egyptians, as you noted. Right after they crossed the
Red Sea on dry ground, and then the Lord swallowed up their enemies. After so great a salvation, they
sung this so great a song. And it's what believers are singing
right now who have passed over, who have crossed the Jordan,
and are right now singing that song. Well, the children of Israel,
after so great a salvation, it says they journeyed for three
days in the wilderness and found no water. Three days. After such a wondrous deliverance,
And after singing that song, I'm sure every person, every
single Israelite sung that song at the top of their lungs, from
the bottom of their heart. Don't you imagine? Three days
later, they're murmuring the complaint. Just three days later. Let's say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It's not funny. And this passage,
before we get some comfort, we're going to get a warning. All right? So in verses 23 and
24, it says, And they could not drink of the
waters of Marah. They came to a place and there
was water there and they couldn't drink the water. The water was
bitter. It probably had sulfur in it or something. Iron in it. Something made it bitter. And
so the name of it was called Marah, bitterness, in verse 24. And so the people murmured against
Moses. say, as if Moses led them to that water, and as
if Moses made the water bitter. Can you do something about that? And what shall we drink, they
said. They murmured. You've heard murmuring.
Well, you've done murmuring. Murmuring. In spite of God's wonderful mercy
to them. They were no better than the
Egyptians. But God was merciful to them, wasn't he? In spite
of such a great deliverance, such a short a time ago, and
in spite of all the promises. Now God, when he was taking them
out of Egypt, he made so many promises to them. God, who cannot
lie, made promise after promise to them. I'm going to take you
into the promised land. Well, you know, right after they
were delivered and went through the Red Sea, they were all singing
about these promises, standing on the promises. The Lord's true,
isn't He? Yeah, yeah, we're going over,
and His purchased people, they're going to be planted in the land.
They all sung that song. Three days later, because of
a little bitter water, just a little bit of bitterness. They murmured,
bitterly complained about their poor plight. Now, listen to this. This is
very careful, because this is very serious. It really is. And
let me say this, considering my own self. Let me say it in
the spirit of meekness. Children of Israel were great
sinners. They were. Just read the story of the children
of Israel, how they just, they were great sinners. They did
some horrible things. Remember when they were dancing
naked around a calf? It's unbelievable, really, some
of the things that they were caught up doing. They committed horrible sins,
but those sins Those horrible sins were not what kept them
out of the promised land. Our Lord said all manner of sin
shall be forgiven. Those terrible sins were not
what kept them out of the promised land. The reason they did not
go in the promised land was murmuring and complaining. That's it. And I'll tell you why this is
so serious. Murmuring complaining is finding
fault with God's providence. That's what it is. It's nothing
more, nothing less. It's finding fault with God's
providence. See, I am what I am by what? by the grace of God. I am where
I am because that's where God put me. I have what I have. I do not have what I do not have
because that's where God put me. And so to murmur and complain
is to find fault with God's providence. To murmur and complain is to
be ungrateful. and unthankful. And as I say, let me, we're all
guilty, starting with me. And let me say this in the spirit
of meekness, considering my own self. But murmuring and complaining
is to be ungrateful and unthankful. Murmuring and complaining is,
now listen very carefully. Murmuring and complaining is
the worst form of self-righteousness. Because when we murmur and complain,
what we say is, I don't deserve this. No, I don't deserve this. I deserve better than this. Isn't
that right? And that's the worst form of
self-righteousness. Murmuring and complaining is
to say, why has God done this to me? Why me? I don't deserve
this. I deserve better than this. It
should have been someone else. I ought to have more. I ought
to have better. This shouldn't have happened. Barnard used to say, everything
this side of hell Consider the children of Israel,
and consider our own self, and murmuring and complaining." Now,
do you not agree with all those assessments of murmuring and
complaining? Do you not agree? Do you not agree? And God hates
it. He hates it. The children of
Israel didn't go in for that reason. So we can be the chief
of sinners, chief of sinners, and God will forgive us. A harlot. But murmuring and complaining
will keep you out. That's serious Well, the psalm says, Then let
our joys abound, and let every tear be dry. Now, look at what it says here
in verse 24. They murmured against Moses.
They murmured against Moses. Now, Moses was just a messenger.
Moses was just a messenger. He was just a paperboy. Moses
was just the means that God used. He was the means. Look at chapter
16, and their murmuring is mentioned many, many times throughout Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus
and Numbers and Deuteronomy. Many, many, many times. Here in chapter 16 alone, it's
mentioned half a dozen times. Look at verse 8. Moses said,
This shall be when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh
to eat, and the morning bread to the full. For that the Lord
heareth your murmurings, which you murmur against him. What
are we? That is Aaron and I. Your murmurings
are not against us, but against the Lord. I want you to turn with me to
Hebrews 3, because Hebrews If you remember, Hebrews, beginning
with chapter 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, talks about the children of Israel
and warns us. All those chapters in Hebrews,
four or five chapters in Hebrews, are spent to warn us, and they
use the Israelites as an example. Right? That's what the Hebrews,
those chapters, are about. They warn us. I'm not saying
you. Us. All right? Chapter 3 of Hebrews. Now, this thing of murmuring
and complaining against the Lord is especially true concerning
believers. Any murmuring and complaining
that we do is against the Lord, because, Brother Henry, we say
it's the Lord, that the Lord is sovereign in all things, don't
we? Now, an Arminian out there, he doesn't believe that. He murmurs against the devil,
or he murmurs against certain things, but we believe that God
sovereignly dispenses all things. God sovereignly bestows or withholds
all things. God does everything. I kill,
I make alive, I wound, I heal, I create peace, I create evil.
I, the Lord, do all these things. So this is, let's talk about
that. Right? No one else. We say by
the grace of God we are what we are, so to murmur is to believe
that You know, we don't need grace
that we earn something. And every, now listen, every
situation. They murmured against Moses.
But Moses said, it's not me, it's the Lord. Every situation. Every event in our life, every
person that crosses our path, every person, every place, everything
is the means used by God Almighty concerning us. Everything. Which, boy, everybody loves to
complain about that, don't they? The weather, well, who sends
the weather? No doubt about that. But from
the weather to a dog barking at 2 a.m., the Lord sent it, right? It is the Lord. It is the Lord. It's not men, it's not means,
it's God. Alright, look at Hebrews 3, verse
9. This says, verse 8, Harden not
your hearts, as in the provocation in the day. This provocation
that he keeps talking about is that, is murmuring. They provoked
him, provoked him. Murmuring in the wilderness.
When they tempted me, when your fathers tempted me, proved me. They saw my works forty years. I have to plead guilty. I've
lived over 40 years. I've seen God's goodness for
over 40 years. So I'm in here more than that.
Do you know this whole life, this whole life that we live, the things that God puts us through
are intended to humble us? Everything in it is intended
to humble us. Everything in it is intended
to humble us before the Lord, to wean us from this world, so
as not to get attached to it. Some things are not very pleasant.
Trials are not very pleasant, but they're good. They're from
the Lord, because they win. Otherwise, Brother Ed, otherwise
we would just latch on to this world, wouldn't we? And not want
to leave it. But the waters of Marah that's spoken of here,
the waters of this world. Do you remember our Lord said
to the woman at the well, this water will leave you thirsty?
The waters of this world are bitter, as they should be to
the believer. Well, and if they're That is,
the things of this world, if we find sweetness here, our Lord
said, Love not the world, nor the things of the world. If any
man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
In other words, if you're after this world, if it's what really
gives you happiness, well, the waters of the world are supposed
to be bitter. The lessons in this life are
supposed to be bitter, but not life itself. We realize that
this too is from the Lord. You see? And then we'll see and
turn it to sweetness. All right? And it's to show us
that this life and everything in it is to show us that we're
nothing. We're nothing. We're nothing. That God doesn't live to serve
us. It's vice versa, is it not? God is not on our beck and call.
But God doesn't live to make us happy, not at all. And these things are to show
us we deserve nothing, nothing. Simple bread and water should
be cause for rejoicing. That's right. Simple bread and
water. Our Lord said that. He said,
Have him food and rain, but let us be content. Simple bread and
water are a great gift from God and more than we deserve and
should be cause for great rejoicing. But there's not one person in
here who doesn't have bread to the fullest, just like these
children do. Meat coming out of our nostrils. Is that not right? Guilty. And so simple bread and water
should be caused to rejoice. You remember the old woman who
sat at her table and looked down at a piece of
bread, that's all she had, the woman that knew Christ? And she
gave thanks. She said, Lord, thank you for
all of this and Christ too. You remember the story of John
Warburton? He went many years with very
little, supported a large family with meager means. And when the
Lord began to bless him, he said he used to go into his kitchen
and open up all of his cabinets and just sit there and look at
the food and get facts. We complain about too many leftovers.
Well, here's a gospel picture right here, okay? There's about
two or three messages within this one message. Here's a gospel
message, verse 25. It said, The people murmured,
and Moses cried unto the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. Moses cried unto the Lord because
of the bitterness of the waters and the complaints of the people,
the sins of the people. Moses, the intercessor. Moses
was always the intercessor, wasn't he? Moses was always the mediator,
and for that reason Moses represents Christ. God would only speak
to Moses. speak to the people through Moses,
and the people had to speak to God through Moses. That's a picture
of Christ, right? God gave the law to Moses to
give to the people, and Christ is the messenger of the covenant.
Moses was the mediator, the intercessor, and Moses cried unto the Lord
because of the bitterness of the water and because of the
complaints and the sins of the people. That's the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, before he went to Calvary's trip, cried unto God
on our behalf. Did he not? In that garden? That
great high priesthood prayer? My favorites. And then when he
was hanging on that tree, he cried unto the Father on our
behalf. Father, forgive them. They're murmuring, they're complaining,
they're unbelief. Forgive them. They don't know
what they're doing. They know not what they do. Well,
and it says, Jehovah, the Lord, showed him a tree. And he said in verse 25, which
when he had cast that tree into the waters, the waters were made
sweet. Showed him a tree. Moses cried
unto the Lord because of the waters and because of the sin,
and the Lord showed, Jehovah showed Moses a tree, and he cast
that tree into the water, and the waters were made sweet. What
tree might that be, do you suppose? Cast into bitter waters to make
them sweet. Calvary's true. Calvary is true. Christ crucified should turn
the bitterness into sweet. Should it not? Huh? Christ took
away our sins. Christ took away the bitter curse
of the law and made the law sweet. Huh? Christ took away our sins.
Christ took away our unbelief. Really murmured and complained
against everything before we heard the gospel, did we not?
And upon hearing of Christ, that it's the Lord, upon hearing of
Christ, it's like Scott Richardson, who's had a few bitter pills
to swallow, a few tough problems, trials. A woman called me on the phone
today and wanted to tell me all her trouble. She wanted her light
bill paid for, which gets at least one a day. Well, she wanted
to tell me her problems. Granted, she had some hard things
happening. I didn't tell her about anybody
else's problem. I didn't want to talk about people's
problems. I wonder if she had any blessings
to talk about from the Lord, or if she had any reason to give
thanks. But Brother Scott said this,
who is no stranger to bitterness. He lost his first child, a little
girl, the one and only girl. He never had another. serious problem, and he said,
I've never heard any bad news since I've heard the good news. That tree made the waters sweet,
you see. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 12,
he said, I'll gladly rejoice in my infirmity. The cross of Calvary, when we
heard of Christ crucified, it took away, it should take away
our complaint. Give us cause for great thanksgiving,
should it not? Naomi, do you remember Naomi? Remember when, you know, she
went out, she was rich to the fullest. God gave it to her.
She left. She left. Forgot God. and left and lost it all. And then she came dragging back
to get a little bread, a beggar. Remember the story? My favorite.
Naomi came back dragging in and they said, Is this Naomi? What's
she say? Call me Marla. Bitter. The Lord hath dealt bitterly.
Bitterly, Naomi, just hang around. Just wait. Oh, and in the end,
you know, the rest of the story, the rest of the story. Ha! She had more than she ever
had before. And she, and the ladies of the
town were calling her blessed. She was a grandmother of David's. A great-grandmother of David's. Lost everything. Got it all back
with interest. So the cross of Christ, when
we hear of Christ crucified on our behalf, it should turn the
waters sweet. It should turn our bitterness
into thanksgiving. Should it not? Huh? So let it never be said once
of us again. Let it never be heard, at least
in this room, after hearing the message. Whether it be Sunday
or Wednesday, please, let every tear be dry, and all
bitterness and clamoring and evil speaking be far from us."
My father once said that he was standing back at the back door,
and just a wonderful, the Lord gave a wonderful time of worship. And he stood back there to greet
and people started filing by and somebody came up and he just
knew because this person was prone to complaining and wanting
to tell their sad plight. And he's no stranger to sadness
either. But they wanted to tell him just
how rough it had been. Right after hearing the blessed
good news, he says, If it's bad, I don't want to hear it." So
write that down, okay? And he reminds me, after hearing
the gospel, the Lord hates murmuring complaint.
He hates it. It's just unbelief, it's just
ingratitude, and it's just self-righteousness. What do we have that we have
not received? All right, now here's the rest of the story.
Jehovah-Rapha. All right? Here's an ordinance that God
gave there, where this tree was cast into the water. Verse 25,
He said, the waters were made sweet, He made for them a statute
and an ordinance, and He proved them right there. Now, this proves
that the gospel is what proves that. You know that? The gospel
is what proves that. Where that tree was cast into
the water. by the Mediator, by Moses, and
that bitterness made sweet, this and there was where the Lord
proved them with an ordinance. And whether or not we have really
heard of Christ crucified and caused us to rejoice, and seen
Christ as our All in all, that's going to prove us. You understand? It's going to prove us. Do you
have Christ? Do you? Do you feel like you
have Christ? Do you know Christ? Is Christ
your all? Well, do you see that? Do you really believe that you've
received mercy at the hands of the Lord? That I've received
grace at the hands of the Lord? Unspeakable, marvelous, infinite,
matchless grace freely bestowed for such a rich as I, amazing,
great, we really believe that? That Christ who was rich, yet
for our sakes became, I mean P-double-O-R, poor. Do we really believe that he
who was risked for our sake became poor, and that we might, in his
poverty, be made rich? Do we really believe that? Then
are we content? See, it's proof right here. It's
proof. All right? Now, here's what he said. Here's
the ordinance. Verse 27, If thou wilt diligently
hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and do that which is
right in his sight, and give ear to his commandment, and keep
all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee
which I have brought upon the Egyptians. For I am Jehovah Rapha."
And he says, I will put none of these to zeke
because I'm Jehovah Ra. All right, look at these things
very briefly. He says, if you will diligently
hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God. And on down he says,
if you'll give ear to his commandment. All right, hearken and give ear. Here, here, here. Listen carefully to what God
says, diligently. Do you remember Peter saying
that? Give diligence to make your calling and election sure. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing
by the Word of God. All right? Give diligence. That
means consistently ready to hear, ready to hear. We're here to hear what the Lord
has to say. That's why we're here, to hear
what the Lord has said to you. We're here to hear. We're not
here to be made happy. We're not here to see everyone. We're here to hear from the Lord,
whether it be all scripture proper, for doctrine, for proof, correction,
or instruction in righteousness, or as he told Titus, reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all the long-suffering and die, or be comforted. We
need it all, don't we? We're here to hear. We're here
to hear. God will bless a man that's ready
to hear, who's more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice
of food, who's slow to speak and swift to hear. Scripture
says, God will bless that man or that woman who hearkens, and
the one who diligently puts themselves under the hearing of the Word,
that means they're interested. I've got to go hear what the
Lord has to say. The Lord says, I'll be there where two or three
are gathered. I'll be there. Oh, I need to hear what he has
to say. I'll be there. And that one who
does not, who absents himself, is not interested. Well, he says,
do give diligence to hearken and do what is right. All right,
what's right? Well, everything the Lord says
is right. Everything he says is right.
Shall not the judge of the earth do right? Yes. And does not the
judge of the earth say right? Whatever he says in this book,
it's not only right, it's the best possible thing we could
have. And if we just, if we just hearken and do it. Well, you know, we need to know
what's right, need to know way to act, way to walk, talk, think,
react. Only one place I'm going to find
it. Well, listen to God's Word. Mary, one time, said at that
marriage feast, these words, Whatsoever he saith unto you,
do it. Good counseling. Whatsoever He
sayeth unto you, you better do it, for it's right, it's good,
it's true. Psalm 19, my favorite. The commandments
of the Lord are pure, are clean, are right. By them we are taught, we are
instructed and so forth. And He says here, give ear to
His commandments and keep His statutes. That means lay hold
on them. And say with Davey, let God be true, and every man
a liar. Don't listen to anybody else.
That's good advice. Good counsel. Give ear to God
and His commandments. We're prone to the opposite,
aren't we? Mankind is prone to the opposite.
Listen to mortal men. And forget the Lord our God.
Well, let's just forget them. Forget what they say. They, what
they say. Whatever they say is wrong. Right? Whatever God says, absolutely
right. Harkening and doing, listening
or giving ear and keeping, laying hold of the statute chiefly,
expressly. I'm talking about the gospel,
right here. This tree of life, lay hold on Christ, hold steadfast,
hold thy confidence, the beginning of thy confidence, steadfast
to the end. The children of Israel were enslaved,
captive, helpless, hopeless, damned and doomed. full of unbelief,
didn't know God, didn't know the way of worship, ignorant,
poor, blind, naked, wretches, fools, enslaved, captives, wallowing
in the mud, making bricks. God sent Moses. Let my people go. And then sent
all these plagues and diseases upon the Egyptians and spared
them, spared the people, and brought them out with us. mighty
hand, the scripture says, a strong arm. And they saw his wondrous
works for forty years. What about us? Can we not say
the Lord has done wondrous things for me, whereof I am glad? Cannot
everyone in here attest to the fact that the Lord has done wonderful
things for me? Wonderful things. He's delivered
me from the pit. Say, how about being dug out
of a pit? Remember that, and it'll make
you rejoice, whatever comes your way. Remember the pit from which
you were dug. My boy, that proves us. Proves
us. Well, and he said this, now this
is interesting, I'll not put these diseases of Egypt on you,
because I am Jehovah Rapha, really pronounced Rapha. But I'm Jehovah
Rapha, your healer. The diseases of Egypt, what are
they? I know what came to your mind
immediately. AIDS. Did it? Anybody? Anybody? No, it came to my mind. Egypt, you see, Egypt in the
Old Testament has always represented the world. In the New Testament,
what city represents the world? Rome, right? Egypt, Rome, the
world, diseases of Egypt. Well, if you didn't think of
that, I did. Folks, the world is getting eaten
up with that. Isn't it? Dying like flies. Now,
that goes without saying. We don't need to dwell on that,
do we? That it goes without saying, and particularly you young people,
Unmarried, whoever, married. It goes without saying, if we
live in open sin and live expressly against what our Lord said, we
could get these diseases. STDs and AIDS and Hepatitis and
all that could very well get it, sure could. Might do it,
probably will. That goes without saying. Really don't need to say that.
But the diseases of this world, God's word is spiritual. Listen
to it. God's word is spiritual. This
is a title. The diseases of this world, not so much speaking of
physical ailments, can't talk about cancer, the salt of the
people that I've known that is absolutely the best salt of the
earth is the diet of cancer. I'm not talking about that. Well, the disease, the diseases
of this world turn 2nd Timothy 3, 2nd Timothy 3, all right? 2nd Timothy chapter 3. These
are diseases which the world is eaten up with, spiritual maladies. 2nd Timothy 3, look at it. And you know this well. We've
looked at it many times together. 2 Timothy 3, verse 1, which reads
like the morning paper, This know also that in the last days
perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their
own selves. Self-love. This world, Polly,
is eaten up with it. I mean eaten up with it. Diseased with this thing called
self-love. It's getting worse, too, buddy.
I mean, they'll forsake their own flesh and blood for themselves
without natural affection. Self-love, self-worth, self-love,
you know the only cure for that? You know what the cure for self-love
is? Do you hear the gospel? When
God shows you your corruption, when God shows us our utter worthlessness,
then we begin to hate ourselves, don't we think? Not love ourselves. You know what the world says?
The world says, and this preacher said this, they say you've got
to first know how to forgive yourself. That's what they say. You've
got to first learn to love yourself before you can start loving God
and loving others. That's our whole problem. Forgiving ourselves. We've got
to hate ourselves. And the only thing that will
deliver us from this disease called self-love is the gospel. And for the remainder of our
days, we will hate ourselves. And esteem others better than
ourselves, you see. And esteem Christ as all in me
and all, right? We'll esteem everything from
him as mercy. Right, Job? If we realize our
own corruption and worthlessness, we'll esteem everything from
the hand of God as mercy, won't we? Mercy. Mercy. You remember Job? What did he
say after the Lord took away everything? He said the Lord
gave and the Lord had taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
What did Eli say? It's the Lord. Because he realized
he didn't deserve anything at the hands of God. He didn't love
himself. Job said, remember what Job said?
I've heard of him. Now I see you. Wherefore I hate
myself. And now I sure do love your mercy."
Look at the next thing, covetous. This world is eaten up with this,
isn't it? Huh? Disease of covetousness. It's eaten up with it. Lust after
things and whatever the flesh has to offer. Eaten up with it. There's only one cure for covetousness. Set your affections on things
above. Only the gospel can do that.
Boasters, see that? Oh, the world's eaten up with
pride, aren't they? Boasters and pride. This is a
disease that men are literally eaten up with it. Yeah, they
just drip with it, don't they? God said the first thing he hates
is a proud look, and that's what everybody has on their face,
don't they? Huh? Eaten up with this horrible
disease that's going to dam them. There's one cure for pride. Calvary. That'll get rid of it. That'll
get rid of it. Boaster. Well, and I want to
quit now. He says, because I'm Jehovah
Rapha. Now, what's the connection there? What's the connection? I'm the
Lord that healeth thee. Well, how are we going to get
this healing? How are we going to keep from loving ourselves?
How are we going to keep from being covetous? How are we going
to keep from being proud? How are we going to keep from
this and that, you know, these diseases, the world? How are
we going to keep from that? Jehovah-Rapha. Don't we feel the, don't we feel
the symptoms? Don't you feel the symptoms of
these diseases cropping up at the time? Huh? Self-love? Does
that sometimes crop up? What do you say? I'll tell you
what to say. Jehovah-Rapha. Lord, heal me of this horrible
disease called self-love. When you feel covetousness, oh,
look, look, look, look, look, oh, look, look, look, look, oh,
it's all this good for food, it's pleasant to the eyes, and
able to make one wide, ooh-ah, yahoo-bah-bah-bah. Pride, oh, look what I've done,
look at me, look what I've done, look what I've not done. Jehovah
Rapha, heal me of this. Ah boy. Well, this is the only cure,
Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord that healeth thee. And he says, I'm
a very present health. That's another name we're with.
The Lord is present. But he said, I'll put none of
these diseases. And you can take his word at
that, that a believer is immortal. here until God is finished with
us. That's what the psalmist says.
He said, You should not be afraid for the pestilence that walketh
in darkness, nor the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Thousands
shall fall at thy side, ten thousand at thy right hand. It shall not
come nigh thee, because you have made the Lord your habitation
and your refuge. And the Lord of Heaven said,
I won't put these diseases on you. The world is full of them,
but you'll be immune to them through a blood transfusion. All right, let's stand. Let's
stand. Let's sing. Jeanette, come up
here. We ought to sing this song after
every time, every one of these messages. It's a good one. State
upon Jehovah. I'll make it a point to do that. That's not the name of it. What's
the name of it? Like a River of Glory. It's okay. Do you know
the number? 287. All right. Yeah, we'll make it
a point to sing this after every one of these studies to remind
us, to have us going out of here singing about Jehovah. All right? 287. Let's sing. Gloria in excelsis Deo. O come
all ye faithful joyful and triumphant. When it came to them, he turned
all away. In the hour of trial, God is
on the way. by a child of God. We thank God
here for your glory all around the world. Earth is holy, life is holy to
you. May a wonderful world come to
our holy land. Kindly let me promise, earth,
air, sea, and land.
