daily reading 43.4 (Nehemiah 3:6–12)
5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023
Our opening prayer for this week:
Sing to the Lord, you distant lands, You tribes of every tongue;
His new-discovered grace demands A new and nobler song.
Say to the nations, “Jesus reigns— Once dead, now King alone—
His power the sinking world sustains, And grace surrounds his throne.”
Let heav’n proclaim the joyful day, Joy through the earth be seen;
Let cities shine in bright array, And fields in cheerful green.
Let an unusual joy surprise The islands of the sea.
You mountains, sink; you valleys, rise; Prepare the jubilee.
Look! Yearn! He comes, he comes to bless The nations as their God;
To show the world his righteousness, And send his truth abroad.
But when his voice shall raise the dead, And bid the world draw near,
How will the guilty nations dread To see their Judge appear! Amen.
