When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, “Thus you shall say to Joseph: ‘I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. - Hymn 377 - Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me? View

- I Will Not Let Thee Go
1) I will not let Thee go – From Jesus I part never We’re bound together so With chains of love forever; No closer bond can be Than ‘twixt my Lord and me; One day He leadeth me To heav’n eternally. 2) I will not let Thee go – His love is all my keeping; Jesus is all I know, Awake and when I’m sleeping. He is my one sure goal; No other way I know To save my weary soul - I will not let Thee go! (Tune: ELH 63; Translated by M. DeGarmeaux) - Blessing
