HYMN

​

Jesus, the Light of the World

​

​

All ye saints of light proclaim

Jesus the Light of the world

Life and mercy in His name

Jesus the Light of the world

 

Hear the Savior’s earnest call

Jesus the Light of the world

Send the gospel truth to all

Jesus the Light of the world

 

Why not seek Him then today

Jesus the Light of the world

Go with truth the narrow way

Jesus the Light of the world

 

Chorus

Walk in the light

Beautiful light

Come where the dew drops

Of mercy shine bright

Shine all around us

By day and by night

Jesus the Light of the world

SCRIPTURE

​

Joel 2:15-21

 

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

​

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

​

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

​

18 Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

​

19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

​

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

​

21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
