Sunday's Hymn: Unto the Hills Around Do I Lift Up

Unto the hills around do I lift up
My longing eyes:
O whence for me shall my salvation come,
From whence arise?
From God the Lord doth come my certain aid,
From God the Lord, who heaven and earth hath made.

He will not suffer that thy foot be moved:
Safe shalt thou be.
No careless slumber shall his eyelids close,
Who keepeth thee.
Behold our God, the Lord, he slumbereth ne’er,
Who keepeth Israel in his holy care.

Jehovah is himself thy keeper true,
Thy changeless shade;
Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand
Himself hath made.
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.

From every evil shall he keep thy soul,
From every sin:
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,
Thy coming in.
Above thee watching, he whom we adore
Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore.

—John D. Campbell

Linked Together: Questions About Christ

Two suggestions for your weekend reading and thinking.

His Nature
Why do Christians believe Jesus is God?  Here are eleven reasons with scripture references (Nathan Busenitz).

His Work
Who am I in Christ? I am forgiven, declared righteous, and heir of God, and more. Scripture references included here, too (Trevin Wax).

Incarnate Son

At Out of the Ordinary, I posted the lastest in a series of posts on truths every Christian woman should know.

When God’s Son, the second person of the Trinity, came into our world from his place at the Father’s side, God instructed that he be named Jesus, which means God saves, because “he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The meaning of his name pointed to the purpose of his coming: The eternal Son of God came to save his people. This is his planned role in the Triune God’s plan of redemption.
