  • Reading: John 14:1-4 View
    “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
  • All Those Who Trust in Christ (Jerusalem) - H. Parry
    All those who trust in Christ are blest And find in Him eternal rest; This world’s allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes. Through Him we heirs of heav’n are made; O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid That we may firmly trust in Thee, And through Thee live eternally. O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend, Be with us till our journey’s end. In mercy guide us by Thy grace Till we behold Thy glorious face. Though Satan rage, His pow’r is gone His thundering roar can harm us none Our strong Defender hurls him down, And wins for us a heav’nly crown. - Author unknown, 1607; 2. K. Stolshagen, 1550-94; H. Parry, 1916
