God’s Family Hymnal 1:49

【The Echoes of Thanksgiving】

1.When I recall my journey in the past,

He surely loves me, He surely loves me,

When I was in the land of wilderness,

He encircles me.

He cares for me and keeps me

He keeps me as the apple of His eye.

Who is greatly loved by God like me?

He is gracious to me indeed.

2.When my nest was stirred,

The Lord’s gracious hand, the Lord’s gracious hand,

Just liked He is spreading out his wings,

Bearing me on His pinions.

He put me in His bosom of love.

And laid His right hand on me,

Whisper to me ‘I have searched you and known you.’

You are in My heart.

3.Lord, Your love have melt my heart,

O My Beloved, O My Beloved,

I am willing to break my flask,

Offer all the ointment to You.

Even I die or endure many hardships

I will surely follow You faithfully,

Carry my cross and walk the ongoing journey,

March forward into the glory.

【Psalm 78:1-24】

A Maskil of Asaph.

1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,

3 things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.

5 He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children,

6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children,

7 so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;

8 and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 The Ephraimites, armed with the bow, turned back on the day of battle.

10 They did not keep God’s covenant, but refused to walk according to his law.

11 They forgot his works and the wonders that he had shown them.

12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.

13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap.

14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light.

15 He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.

16 He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18 They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread or provide meat for his people?”

21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob; his anger rose against Israel,

22 because they did not believe in God and did not trust his saving power.

23 Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven,

24 and he rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.
