2 Kings 25:27-31  "And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed (Gal 5:1) Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison (Luke 4:18). And he spoke kindly to him (John 15:11) and gave him a seat above the seats (Eph 2:4-6) of the kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments (Eph 4:22-24). And every day (Acts 2:46) of his life he dined regularly at the king's table (1 Cor 11:23-26), and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him (Mat 6:23-31) by the king (1 Tim 1:17), according to his daily needs (Mat 6:11), as long as he lived."

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Joel 2:12-13, 28-29

12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,

    “return to me with all your heart,

with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;

13     and rend your hearts and not your garments.”

Return to the Lord your God,

    for he is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;

    and he relents over disaster.

28 “And it shall come to pass afterward,

    that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

    your old men shall dream dreams,

    and your young men shall see visions.

29 Even on the male and female servants

    in those days I will pour out my Spirit.

COME THOU FOUNT

Robert Robinson, 1757

Come Thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it

Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer

Here by Thy great help I've come

And I hope by Thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wandering from the throne of God

He to rescue me from danger

Interposed His precious blood

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

Daily Im constrained to be

Let that grace now, like a fetter

Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Heres my heart, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above
