daily reading 48.5 (Nehemiah 9:16–21)

5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023 Our opening prayer for this week: Crown him the Lord of love, behold his hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. Crown him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above, Crown him the King to whom is given the wondrous name of Love. Crown him with many crowns, as thrones before him fall; Crown him, you kings, with many crowns, for he is King of all. Crown him the Lord of lords, who over all must reign, Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for everyone was slain, Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing Their songs before him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King. Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail throughout eterni...

5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023 Our opening prayer for this week: Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne. Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, And hail him as your matchless King through all eternity. Crown him the virgin’s Son, the God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, as of that rose the stem; The root from which all mercy flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. Crown him the Son of God, before the worlds began, And you who tread where he has trod, crown him the Son of Man; Who every grief has known that wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for his own, that all in him may rest. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave, And rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that de...

  5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023 Our opening prayer for this week: Jesus, your blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress. Midst flaming worlds with these arrayed With joy shall I lift up my head. Bold shall I stand on that great day. Who can a word against me say? Fully through these absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. Lord, I believe your precious blood,  Which at the very throne of God Forever will for sinners plead, For me— e’en for my soul— was shed. Lord, I believe were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, You have for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. When from the dust of death I rise To claim your heavenly kingdom prize, Then this shall be my only plea: Jesus has lived and died for me. Jesus, be worshiped endlessly! Your boundless mercy has for me, For me and all your hands have made, An everlasting ransom paid.  Amen.   Nehemiah 7:4 –38 The city was large and spacious, b...
