00:00:17Almighty God unto whom all hearts be open all desires known and from whom those
00:00:24secrets are hid cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy
00:00:31Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love thee and worthily magnify thy holy name
00:00:38through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen

00:04:13And evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, who lives and reigns
00:04:21with you in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
00:04:32The Acts of the apostles, chapter 8.
00:05:04Now,
00:05:06And they received the Holy Spirit.
00:05:10Now, when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered
00:05:16them money, saying,
00:05:18Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.
00:05:27This is the word of the Lord.
00:05:29Thanks be to God.
00:05:31Amen.
00:05:54Savior, like a shepherd, we need us.
00:06:01Much we need thy tender care, much we need thy tender care.
00:06:08In thy presence, we need us.
00:06:12In thy pleasant pastures, we need us.
00:06:16For our new disciples prepared.
00:06:20Blessed Jesus, we need us.
00:06:36Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus.
00:06:45Thou hast bought us, thine we are.
00:06:50We are thine we are.
00:06:54We are thine.
00:06:55Oof.
00:07:00Oof.
00:07:02Oof.
00:07:03Oof.
00:07:06Oof.
00:07:07We are thine, too.
00:07:10Thou befriend us
00:07:14Be the guardian of our way
00:07:20Keep thy flock from sin
00:07:26Defend us
00:07:29Seek us when we go astray
00:07:34Blessed Jesus
00:07:43Hear, oh hear us when we pray
00:07:50Blessed Jesus
00:07:54Hear, oh hear us when we pray
00:08:04We pray
00:08:12Early let us seek thy favor
00:08:18Early let us do thy will
00:08:23Thy will
00:08:25Blessed Lord and only Savior
00:08:30With thy love our bosom still
00:08:38Blessed Jesus
00:08:44Thou hast loved us, love us still
00:08:49Blessed Jesus
00:09:02Thou hast loved us, love us still
00:09:25Thou hast loved us, love us still
00:09:50The gospel according to Saint John
00:09:53Chapter 10
00:09:56Most certainly, I tell you, the one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheepfold but climbs up some
00:10:03other way
00:10:03Is the same as a thief and the robber
00:10:07But the one who enters in by the door
00:10:09Is the shepherd of the sheep
00:10:12The gatekeeper opens the gate for him
00:10:14The sheep listen to his voice
00:10:17He calls his own sheep by name
00:10:20And leads them out
00:10:22Whenever he brings out his own sheep
00:10:25He goes before them
00:10:26And the sheep follow him
00:10:27For they know his voice
00:10:30They will not follow a stranger
00:10:32But flee from him
00:10:33For they do not know the voice of strangers
00:10:38Jesus
00:10:39Jesus spoke this parable to them
00:10:40But they didn't understand what he was telling them
00:10:44Jesus therefore said to them again
00:10:47Most certainly, I tell you
00:10:49I am the sheep's door
00:10:51All who come before me are thieves and robbers
00:10:54But the sheep don't listen to them
00:10:57I am the door
00:10:58If anyone enters in by me
00:11:00He will be saved
00:11:01And will go in and go out
00:11:04And find pasture
00:11:07The thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy
00:11:12I came that they may have life
00:11:14And may have it abundantly
00:11:18This is the word of the Lord
00:11:21Thanks be to God
00:11:27In this parable
00:11:29Christ is portrayed as the shepherd
00:11:31And his people are his flock
00:11:35And two points on which the beauty
00:11:37And significance of this parable turn
00:11:40Are referred to in the text
00:11:42Which might not be distinctly observed
00:11:45By one who is not acquainted
00:11:46With the particular manner
00:11:48Of the Middle Eastern shepherds
00:11:52They have in the first place
00:11:53A name for every sheep
00:11:55And every sheep knows its name
00:11:57When it is called
00:12:00The shepherd does not generally drive the flock
00:12:04As we commonly speak
00:12:05But he leads them
00:12:07Going in front of them
00:12:09To these two points
00:12:11Or to the instruction contained
00:12:13Under these two analogies
00:12:15We need to attend ourselves this morning
00:12:21He calls his own sheep by name
00:12:24As we have names for dogs, cats and other animals
00:12:28Which they themselves know
00:12:30So it is also with Eastern shepherds and their flocks
00:12:35This fact is shown historically by many references
00:12:38And is indeed true to this day
00:12:42It is to this for example
00:12:44That Isaiah refers
00:12:45When he represents the almighty creator
00:12:48As leading out the starry heavens
00:12:50Like a shepherd leading his flock
00:12:53Lift up your eyes and behold
00:12:55Who has created these things
00:12:57That brings out their host by number
00:13:00He calls them all by name
00:13:04The shepherd in this view
00:13:05Is not as one who keeps a hive of bees
00:13:08Knowing well the hive
00:13:10But never any particular bee within it
00:13:12But he can recognise every single sheep
00:13:15And has a name for each and every one
00:13:18Teaching all of them
00:13:20To know that name
00:13:21And to follow the call
00:13:25This also is signified
00:13:27In the words that follow after
00:13:29The sheep follow him
00:13:31For they know his voice
00:13:34Words that refer not just to the mere tones of his voice
00:13:38As to the fact that he is able
00:13:40As a stranger is not
00:13:41To call them by name
00:13:43That they are want to answer as their own
00:13:48Within this analogy
00:13:51Stands the tender and beautiful truth
00:13:54That Christ has a particular
00:13:57Intense relationship
00:13:59With each individual person
00:14:01He knows them
00:14:03Loves them
00:14:04Watches them
00:14:05And leads them individually
00:14:07Even if calling them by name
00:14:12And in this respect
00:14:14The parable is designed to
00:14:16Counteract and correct
00:14:17Something which has in all ages
00:14:19Been the common weakness
00:14:21Of Christian believers
00:14:23That they believe that God
00:14:25Has a real care of the church
00:14:26And of all the great bodies of saints
00:14:30But they find difficult
00:14:32To imagine that he ever particularly knows
00:14:34Or individually recognises
00:14:37Each and every one of them
00:14:41They know that God has a vast empire
00:14:44And that the cares and councils
00:14:46Of his love include immense numbers of minds
00:14:50And they fall into the impression
00:14:52That he would deal with them
00:14:54In the aggregate
00:14:55Or as noting only
00:14:57As a general might
00:14:59In respect of his army
00:15:03They even take an air of philosophy
00:15:05In this opinion
00:15:06Asking how we can imagine
00:15:08That so great a being
00:15:09Takes particular notice of
00:15:11And holds a particular
00:15:12And personal relation
00:15:14To any one man or woman
00:15:19But there could not be a greater mistake
00:15:21Even as regard the matter of philosophy
00:15:24For the relation God holds
00:15:26To objects of knowledge
00:15:28Is different in all respects
00:15:31From that which is held by us
00:15:35Our general terms
00:15:37Our general terms
00:15:37Man, tree, insect, flower for example
00:15:40Are the names of particular or single specimens
00:15:47Extended on the grounds of some perceived similarity
00:15:51To other kinds or species
00:15:55They come in this manner
00:15:56To stand for millions of particular men
00:15:59Trees, insects and flowers
00:16:01That we do not and never can know
00:16:06They are to just this extent
00:16:08Words of ignorance
00:16:11Only we are able in the use
00:16:13To hold right judgments
00:16:15Of innumerable particulars
00:16:17We do not know
00:16:18And have the words so far
00:16:20As words of wisdom
00:16:23But God does not generalise
00:16:25In this manner
00:16:26Creating general terms
00:16:28Under which to handle particulars
00:16:30Which as particulars
00:16:32He does not know
00:16:34He is not obliged in this way then
00:16:37To accommodate ignorance
00:16:38Or shortage of perception
00:16:41By any such splicing process in words
00:16:44His knowledge of wholes
00:16:47Is real and complete
00:16:49It is a knowledge of wholes
00:16:51As opposed to a distinct knowledge
00:16:53Of particulars
00:16:56Indeed whatever particulars exist
00:16:58Or by him are created
00:17:00He must have thought first of
00:17:03And therefore they were known by him
00:17:06As even being thought
00:17:08Even before they became subjects
00:17:10Of knowledge in the world of fact
00:17:14Holding in his thought
00:17:16The eternal archetypes
00:17:18Of kinds and species
00:17:19He also thought each individual
00:17:22Of its own particular type
00:17:24As dominated by the common archetype
00:17:29In other words
00:17:30All things
00:17:30Even things most particular
00:17:32Are known or thought
00:17:33By him eternally
00:17:35Even before they take existence
00:17:37In time
00:17:41When he thinks therefore
00:17:43Of wholes or kinds
00:17:44Therefore of society
00:17:46Church
00:17:47Nation
00:17:48Or race
00:17:49He knows nothing
00:17:50Of them
00:17:51In our faint
00:17:52Partial
00:17:53Generalised
00:17:54Way
00:17:54But he knows them
00:17:56Intuitively
00:17:57Through
00:17:58And through
00:17:59In fine detail
00:18:01The wholes in the particulars
00:18:03And the particulars
00:18:04In the whole
00:18:06He knows them
00:18:07In their type
00:18:07He knows them
00:18:08In their archetype
00:18:09He knows them
00:18:10In their genesis
00:18:11Out of both
00:18:13So with a knowledge
00:18:14That is much more
00:18:15Than verbal
00:18:16A solid
00:18:18Systematic
00:18:19Specific
00:18:20Knowledge
00:18:22Indeed it is more than that
00:18:24Unnecessary
00:18:25And inevitable
00:18:26Knowledge
00:18:29For the sun
00:18:30Can no more shine
00:18:31On the world
00:18:31As in the gross
00:18:32Without touching
00:18:34Every particular
00:18:35Straw and atom
00:18:36With its light
00:18:37Than God can know
00:18:39Or love whole bodies
00:18:40Of saints
00:18:41Without knowing
00:18:43And loving
00:18:43Every individual
00:18:44Saint
00:18:47In one view
00:18:48It requires
00:18:49No particular act
00:18:50Of tenderness
00:18:51Or condescension
00:18:52In him
00:18:53It is the sublime
00:18:55Essential
00:18:56Of his perfect mind
00:18:57And being
00:19:00Being a perfect mind
00:19:01And not some
00:19:03Mere spark
00:19:03Of intelligence
00:19:04Like us
00:19:06He cannot fall
00:19:07Into our imperfections
00:19:08And shorten himself
00:19:10To the half-seeing
00:19:11Of our contrivance
00:19:13When we strain ourselves
00:19:15To set up generals
00:19:17In a way
00:19:18To peace out
00:19:19And hide
00:19:19Our ignorance
00:19:23And yet
00:19:24Yet
00:19:24We cannot wholly
00:19:26Wean ourselves
00:19:27Of this folly
00:19:28We cannot believe
00:19:30That our God
00:19:30Has particular
00:19:31Notice of us
00:19:32And a particular
00:19:33Interest
00:19:34In our personal
00:19:35History
00:19:38This was one
00:19:39Of the great uses
00:19:40Of the incarnation
00:19:42It was to
00:19:43Humanise God
00:19:44Reducing him
00:19:46To a human
00:19:46Personality
00:19:47That we might
00:19:48Believe
00:19:48Believe
00:19:49In that particular
00:19:50And personal
00:19:51Love
00:19:52In which he reigns
00:19:54From eternity
00:19:56For Christ was
00:19:57At that time
00:19:58Visibly one of us
00:19:59And we see
00:20:01In all his
00:20:01Demonstrations
00:20:02That he is
00:20:04Particularly
00:20:04Attentive
00:20:05To every
00:20:06Personal
00:20:07Want
00:20:07Woe
00:20:08And cry
00:20:09Of the world
00:20:12And when a lone woman
00:20:14Came up
00:20:14In a crowd
00:20:15To steal
00:20:15As it were
00:20:17Some healing power
00:20:18Out of his person
00:20:19Out of the hem
00:20:20Of his garment
00:20:21Even
00:20:22He would not
00:20:23Let her go
00:20:24In that impersonal
00:20:26Unrecognising
00:20:27Way
00:20:29He compelled her
00:20:30To show herself
00:20:31And to confess
00:20:32Her name
00:20:33And sent her
00:20:34On her way
00:20:35With his
00:20:37Personal
00:20:38Blessing
00:20:38He pours out
00:20:41Everywhere
00:20:42At every
00:20:42Opportunity
00:20:43A sympathy
00:20:44On every
00:20:46Particular
00:20:46Child of
00:20:47Sorrow
00:20:49He even
00:20:50Hunts down
00:20:51The youth
00:20:51He has before
00:20:53Healed
00:20:53And opens
00:20:55To him
00:20:56Persecuted
00:20:57As he is
00:20:58For being
00:20:58Healed
00:20:59The secrets
00:21:00Of his
00:21:00Glorious
00:21:01Messiahship
00:21:04The results
00:21:05Accordingly
00:21:06Of this
00:21:07Incarnate history
00:21:08Is that
00:21:09We should
00:21:10See
00:21:11And form
00:21:12A different
00:21:13Opinion
00:21:13Of God
00:21:15We have seen
00:21:16That he can love
00:21:17As a man loves
00:21:17Another
00:21:18And that such
00:21:19Is the way
00:21:20Of his love
00:21:21He has tasted
00:21:22Death
00:21:23We say
00:21:24Not for
00:21:25All men
00:21:25Only
00:21:26But for
00:21:27Each
00:21:27And every
00:21:29Man
00:21:30We even dare
00:21:31To say
00:21:32For me
00:21:33For me
00:21:33Who loved me
00:21:34And gave himself
00:21:35For me
00:21:37Indeed
00:21:38He goes even
00:21:39Further than this
00:21:40Himself calling us
00:21:41His friends
00:21:42And claiming that dear
00:21:44And special relationship
00:21:46With us
00:21:48Friends
00:21:48Because he is on the
00:21:50Private footing
00:21:51Of friendship
00:21:52Of friendship
00:21:53And personal confidence
00:21:57He went to say
00:21:59The servant
00:22:00Does not know
00:22:00What his lord
00:22:01Does
00:22:02But I have called you
00:22:03Friends
00:22:05He goes beyond this
00:22:06Promising a friendship
00:22:08So particular
00:22:09And personal
00:22:10That it shall be
00:22:11Some kind of
00:22:12Secret
00:22:12Or cipher
00:22:13Of mutual
00:22:14Understanding
00:22:16Open to no other
00:22:17A new white stone
00:22:19Given by his king
00:22:20And in the stone
00:22:22A new name
00:22:22Written
00:22:23Which no man knows
00:22:25Except the one
00:22:26Who received it
00:22:29Indeed
00:22:30I could go on
00:22:31To show from
00:22:31Every particular work
00:22:33And turn
00:22:33Of the gospel
00:22:34How intensely
00:22:36Personal
00:22:37It was
00:22:40What is communion
00:22:41That is not communion
00:22:42With individual souls
00:22:46Is it the communion
00:22:47Or fellowship
00:22:48Of God
00:22:49That he reaches
00:22:50Only great bodies
00:22:51Of men
00:22:52If he promises
00:22:54Comfort
00:22:54Or support
00:22:55Whom does he comfort
00:22:56Or support
00:22:58Should he touch
00:22:59No individual person
00:23:02The promises
00:23:03To prayer
00:23:04Who does he hear
00:23:06When does he hear
00:23:08The prayer of nobody
00:23:09In particular
00:23:09And for nothing
00:23:11In particular
00:23:14The work of the Holy Spirit
00:23:15In souls
00:23:16What is it
00:23:17In all its degrees
00:23:18And moments
00:23:19In their calling
00:23:21Their guidance
00:23:22And their sanctification
00:23:23What can it be imagined
00:23:25That he does
00:23:26Which is not personal
00:23:27The bestowment
00:23:29Of a convincing
00:23:30Illuminating
00:23:31Drawing
00:23:32Renovating
00:23:33Grace
00:23:34Perfectly tempered
00:23:35To and by
00:23:36The individual
00:23:38To be blessed
00:23:40A visiting
00:23:41Of his intelligent
00:23:42Person
00:23:42At just the point
00:23:44Of his particular
00:23:44Want
00:23:45Sin
00:23:46Sorrow
00:23:46Or prejudice
00:23:47So to exactly
00:23:49Meet his personality
00:23:51At that time
00:23:53We speak indeed
00:23:55Of the Holy Spirit
00:23:56As falling
00:23:57On communities
00:23:57Or assemblies
00:24:00But we must not suppose
00:24:02That he touches
00:24:02On the general body
00:24:03And no particular person
00:24:07On the contrary
00:24:08If we understand ourselves
00:24:09He reaches the general body
00:24:11Only by
00:24:12And through
00:24:13Each individual
00:24:16Save that there is an effect
00:24:17Of mutual excitement
00:24:19But this is secondary
00:24:21And comes from a sense
00:24:23Of what is revealed
00:24:24In each other
00:24:25Under the power
00:24:26Of the Spirit
00:24:27In each case
00:24:30How then
00:24:31Can we imagine
00:24:32That God
00:24:32Effectively calls
00:24:33Any person
00:24:34By his Spirit?
00:24:35Without dispensing
00:24:37A grace
00:24:37Most distinctly
00:24:38And even
00:24:39Adaptively
00:24:40Personal
00:24:45And so it is
00:24:47In short
00:24:47With everything
00:24:49Included
00:24:49In the Gospel
00:24:50As a grace
00:24:51Of salvation
00:24:52Everything
00:24:53In the renewing
00:24:54Fashioning
00:24:55Guidance
00:24:55Discipline
00:24:57Sanctification
00:24:57And the final
00:24:59Crowning
00:24:59Of an air
00:25:00Of glory
00:25:02His Saviour
00:25:03And Lord
00:25:03The Lord
00:25:03Is over him
00:25:04And with him
00:25:05As the Good Shepherd
00:25:06Calling him
00:25:07By name
00:25:08So that he is
00:25:09Finally saved
00:25:11Not as a man
00:25:12Or one
00:25:13Of mankind
00:25:14Led forth
00:25:15By his Lord
00:25:16In the flock
00:25:17But as the
00:25:18Master's dear
00:25:19Simon
00:25:20Or James
00:25:21Or Alphaeus
00:25:22Or Martha
00:25:23Whose name
00:25:24Is so recorded
00:25:25In the Lamb's
00:25:26Book of Life
00:25:29In this view
00:25:30It is
00:25:30I suppose
00:25:31That the Church
00:25:32In baptising
00:25:33Her children
00:25:34Takes there
00:25:35At the font
00:25:36With the most
00:25:37Beautiful
00:25:37And touching
00:25:39Propriety
00:25:40What she calls
00:25:40The Christian name
00:25:42As if it were
00:25:44Christ's own
00:25:45Gift
00:25:46A name
00:25:47Bestowed upon
00:25:48Him
00:25:49In which he recognises
00:25:50The child's
00:25:51Discipleship
00:25:52And which
00:25:53As often
00:25:54As it is spoken
00:25:56He is himself
00:25:57To recognise
00:25:58Of the calling
00:25:59Of his
00:26:00Master's voice
00:26:02And he calls
00:26:03His own
00:26:04Sheep
00:26:04By name
00:26:13Let us now consider
00:26:14The second point
00:26:15Of today's Gospel reading
00:26:17He led them out
00:26:20It is not said
00:26:21You observe
00:26:21That the shepherd
00:26:22Drove them out
00:26:24For that was not
00:26:25The manner
00:26:26Of shepherds
00:26:28But he led them
00:26:29Going before
00:26:30To call them
00:26:32After him
00:26:34This indeed
00:26:35Is expressly
00:26:36And more formally
00:26:36Said in the next verse
00:26:38When he put forward
00:26:40His own sheep
00:26:41He goes before them
00:26:42And the sheep follow
00:26:46Hence the poetic figures
00:26:48Of the Old Testament
00:26:50The Lord is my shepherd
00:26:51He leads me
00:26:53Beside the still water
00:26:56You led your people
00:26:57Like a flock
00:26:58By the hand
00:26:59Of Moses
00:27:00And Aaron
00:27:01Give ear
00:27:02O shepherd
00:27:03You that lead
00:27:04Joseph
00:27:05Like a flock
00:27:07The same custom
00:27:08Of going before
00:27:09The flock pertains
00:27:11Even now
00:27:14In the Mediterranean regions
00:27:16And in the Middle East
00:27:19What a beautiful image
00:27:21Or picture
00:27:22To represent
00:27:23The attitude
00:27:24And the personal
00:27:25Relationship
00:27:26Of Jesus
00:27:26Amongst his followers
00:27:28That he does not
00:27:29Drive them on
00:27:30Before
00:27:31As a herd
00:27:32Of unwilling disciples
00:27:33But goes before himself
00:27:36Leading them
00:27:37Into paths
00:27:38That he has trod
00:27:39Dangers
00:27:40He has already
00:27:41Met
00:27:41And disposed of
00:27:43And sacrifices
00:27:44He has borne himself
00:27:46Calling them
00:27:47After him
00:27:48And only to be
00:27:49Followers
00:27:52He leads
00:27:53Them out
00:27:56If driving
00:27:57Could ever do any good
00:27:58He might well
00:27:59Enough drive his flock
00:28:01As a body
00:28:01Caring nothing
00:28:02For anyone
00:28:03Of them in particular
00:28:05But if he is going to draw them
00:28:07After him
00:28:08He must work
00:28:09Upon their inclination
00:28:11He must draw them
00:28:13By their personal favour
00:28:14To him
00:28:15And must therefore
00:28:16Know them
00:28:17Personally
00:28:17Calling each of them
00:28:19To follow
00:28:20As it were
00:28:21By name
00:28:27Just the difference
00:28:28Will be observed
00:28:29In this matter
00:28:29Between the eastern shepherds
00:28:31And those of the west
00:28:32And north
00:28:35No sooner
00:28:36Do we come upon
00:28:36This latter fashion
00:28:37Of northern
00:28:38And western Europe
00:28:39Of driving flocks
00:28:40Into a field
00:28:41Or out again
00:28:43We see the noting
00:28:44Knowing and calling
00:28:45Of particular sheep
00:28:46Disappear
00:28:48When driving
00:28:49And thrusting on
00:28:50In front of us
00:28:51Becomes the manna
00:28:52There is no need
00:28:54To get
00:28:54To know
00:28:55Any one of them
00:28:56Under the power
00:28:57Of confidence
00:28:58And attraction
00:28:59No need
00:29:00To note
00:29:00Any individuality
00:29:02At all
00:29:04So if driving
00:29:05Were in place
00:29:06Christ
00:29:07Might well
00:29:08Let fall
00:29:09The fires
00:29:10Of Sodom
00:29:11And Gomorrah
00:29:11Behind his flock
00:29:13And drive them out
00:29:14As he drove
00:29:15Lot's family
00:29:16Or his vain-hearted
00:29:18Wife
00:29:18Out of the city
00:29:21But the best use
00:29:22That could be made
00:29:23Of such a flock
00:29:24After all
00:29:25Would be to turn them
00:29:26Into pillars of salt
00:29:27And let them stand
00:29:29For no disciple
00:29:31Is a true disciple
00:29:32And but till
00:29:34He becomes
00:29:35A follower
00:29:36Going after
00:29:38The shepherd
00:29:38As one that follows
00:29:40By name
00:29:41Being drawn
00:29:42By love
00:29:48Here then we have
00:29:49The real beauty
00:29:50And glory
00:29:51Of Christ
00:29:51As redeemer
00:29:52And saviour
00:29:53Of lost man
00:29:54That he goes before
00:29:56Always before
00:29:58And never behind
00:29:59The flock
00:30:01He begins with infancy
00:30:03That he may show
00:30:04A grace
00:30:05For childhood
00:30:06He is put
00:30:07Under the law
00:30:08And fulfilled
00:30:09All righteousness
00:30:10There
00:30:11That he may sanctify
00:30:12The law to us
00:30:13And make it honourable
00:30:15He goes before us
00:30:17In the bearing
00:30:17Of temptation
00:30:18That we may bear them
00:30:20After him
00:30:21Being tempted
00:30:22In all ways
00:30:23As we are
00:30:25He taught us
00:30:26Forgiveness
00:30:26By forgiving himself
00:30:28His enemies
00:30:30He went before us
00:30:31In the loss
00:30:32Of everything
00:30:33That we might be able
00:30:35To follow
00:30:35In renouncing things
00:30:37Of this world
00:30:38And its dominion
00:30:40The works of love
00:30:41That he requires
00:30:42Of us
00:30:43In words
00:30:44Are preceded
00:30:45And illustrated
00:30:46By real deeds
00:30:47Of love
00:30:48To which he gave up
00:30:50All his mighty powers
00:30:52From day to day
00:30:54He bore the cross
00:30:55Himself
00:30:55That he commanded us
00:30:57To take up
00:30:57And bear after him
00:31:00Requiring us
00:31:01To hate
00:31:02Even life
00:31:03For the gospel's sake
00:31:04He went before us
00:31:06In dying
00:31:06For the gospel
00:31:08Suffering a death
00:31:09Most bitter
00:31:10At the hand
00:31:11Of enemies
00:31:12Exasperated
00:31:13Simply and only
00:31:14By his goodness
00:31:16And wholesomeness
00:31:18And when
00:31:19At a word
00:31:19He might have called
00:31:20To his aid
00:31:21A whole legion
00:31:23Of angels
00:31:23And driven them
00:31:25From the face
00:31:26Of the world
00:31:28Then he went before us
00:31:29In the bursting
00:31:30Of the grave
00:31:31And the resurrection
00:31:32From it
00:31:33Becoming in his own person
00:31:35The first fruits
00:31:36Of the people
00:31:36That slept
00:31:38And finally
00:31:39He ascended
00:31:40And passed
00:31:41Within the veil
00:31:42Before us
00:31:43As our forerunner
00:31:45Whom we are going
00:31:46To follow
00:31:48In all
00:31:49In all
00:31:49Which he is our shepherd
00:31:51Going before us
00:31:52And never behind
00:31:53Calling
00:31:54But never driving
00:31:55Coaxing
00:31:57Never forcing
00:31:57Bearing all the losses
00:31:59He calls us to bear
00:32:01Meeting all the dangers
00:32:03Hazards
00:32:04Cruelties
00:32:05And pains
00:32:06Which it is given
00:32:07To us to suffer
00:32:08And drawing us to follow
00:32:10Where he has gone before
00:32:14And then we see
00:32:15What kindred spirit
00:32:16Entered into the teachers
00:32:18That he gave
00:32:18To lead his flock
00:32:21They were such as followed him
00:32:22In the regeneration
00:32:25Going up at last
00:32:26According to his promise
00:32:27To sit on thrones of glory
00:32:29With him
00:32:31And it is remarkable
00:32:33That the apostles
00:32:33Took it as incumbent
00:32:35On them always
00:32:36In their master's law
00:32:37To require nothing
00:32:39Of others
00:32:40In which they
00:32:41Were not forward
00:32:41Themselves
00:32:45Thus when Paul says
00:32:47Once and again
00:32:48I beseech you
00:32:50To be followers of me
00:32:52Brethren
00:32:53Be followers
00:32:54Together of me
00:32:55It has ascend
00:32:57Taken as it may be taken
00:32:59Of conceit
00:33:00Or vanity
00:33:01But when we look upon him
00:33:02As a man who goes
00:33:03After Christ
00:33:04In the ways of scorn
00:33:05And suffering
00:33:06Patience
00:33:07In labours
00:33:08Abundant
00:33:09And in floggings
00:33:10Above measure
00:33:11In prisons
00:33:12Frequent
00:33:13In deaths
00:33:13Often
00:33:15Receiving more than once
00:33:16His forty beatings
00:33:18Beaten with rods
00:33:19And stoned
00:33:20Out of cities
00:33:21Running the gauntlet
00:33:22Through all kinds
00:33:23Of peril
00:33:24In weariness
00:33:25And painfulness
00:33:26In watching
00:33:27Hunger
00:33:28Thirst
00:33:29Fastings
00:33:30Cold
00:33:31And nakedness
00:33:32Accounted for
00:33:33As the filth
00:33:34Of the world
00:33:35And the scourge
00:33:36Of all things
00:33:37When we see him
00:33:39Tramping on
00:33:40Heavily thus
00:33:40In front of us
00:33:41Bearing his master's
00:33:43Dark flag
00:33:44Of patience
00:33:44And loss
00:33:45Calling others
00:33:46To follow
00:33:47In his wake
00:33:49We can only see
00:33:51That he has taken
00:33:52Christ's own spirit
00:33:53And despises even
00:33:55To send the flock
00:33:56Before him
00:33:56Where he does not
00:33:58Lead himself
00:34:03How often
00:34:04We have seen things
00:34:05Different from this
00:34:07Teachers that bind
00:34:08Heavy burdens
00:34:09And lay them
00:34:10On men's shoulders
00:34:11Which they themselves
00:34:13Will not so much
00:34:14As lighten
00:34:15With the touch
00:34:15Of their fingers
00:34:17Priests and confessors
00:34:19That feed their lusts
00:34:20Out of the charities
00:34:21Extorted from the poor
00:34:23Imposing on them
00:34:24Loads of penance
00:34:25In turn
00:34:26To humble them
00:34:28And keep them
00:34:29In subjection
00:34:31Philanthropists
00:34:32Publishing theories
00:34:33And great squilling words
00:34:36Of equality
00:34:36Tapering off
00:34:38In the commendation
00:34:39Of virtues
00:34:39That they themselves
00:34:41Do not practice
00:34:42And even inwardly
00:34:44Distaste
00:34:45All such
00:34:46Are men
00:34:47Seeking to drive
00:34:48The flock
00:34:50But Christ
00:34:51The true shepherd
00:34:52The eternal son of God
00:34:54Wants nothing
00:34:54In his flock
00:34:55That he has not
00:34:57Shown in himself
00:34:58He goes
00:34:59Before them
00:35:00Bearing all
00:35:01The bitter loads
00:35:02Of sacrifice
00:35:03Facing all
00:35:04The fiercest
00:35:05Terrors
00:35:06Himself
00:35:08Calling only
00:35:09For them
00:35:10To gently follow
00:35:11And come
00:35:12After him
00:35:14Come to me
00:35:15All you
00:35:16Who labour
00:35:17And are heavy laden
00:35:18And I will
00:35:19Give you rest
00:35:20Take my yoke upon you
00:35:22And learn of me
00:35:23My yoke is easy
00:35:25And my burden
00:35:25Is light
00:35:31The use and practical applications
00:35:33Of this subject
00:35:34Are many
00:35:36But we have time only
00:35:37To consider a few
00:35:39Of the greatest practicality
00:35:44A great mistake
00:35:45Or false impression
00:35:46Which is held
00:35:47By many worldly minds
00:35:48And even by some
00:35:49Who profess to be
00:35:50Disciples
00:35:51Is corrected
00:35:53I.e. the mistake
00:35:55Of regarding the Christian life
00:35:56As a legal
00:35:57And constrained service
00:36:00It is as if
00:36:02The flock were driven
00:36:03By the shepherd
00:36:04By threat
00:36:07And fear
00:36:08Not as if it were led
00:36:10By the shepherd's call
00:36:11Going on before us
00:36:14In this image
00:36:15Or figure
00:36:16Is beautifully represented
00:36:18The freedom
00:36:18Of the disciple
00:36:20He is one
00:36:21Who is led
00:36:22By personal influence
00:36:25One who hears
00:36:26The voice
00:36:26And answers
00:36:27To the name
00:36:29By which he is called
00:36:30Running
00:36:31Scampering
00:36:32After
00:36:33He could not
00:36:34Be thrust
00:36:35On
00:36:35As in a crowd
00:36:36By force
00:36:37Or fear
00:36:39Christ
00:36:39Wants to lead
00:36:40Men
00:36:41By their love
00:36:42Their personal love
00:36:44For him
00:36:46And their confidence
00:36:48In him
00:36:48His guidance
00:36:50And his love
00:36:51For them
00:36:52And so
00:36:53The representation
00:36:54Is not that
00:36:55He is a shepherd
00:36:56Going behind
00:36:57With dogs
00:36:57To gather in the flock
00:36:59And keep them in front
00:37:00But that he draws them
00:37:02After him
00:37:03And gets them
00:37:04Into such a training
00:37:05Of confidence
00:37:06That they will certainly
00:37:08Hear his call
00:37:09And follow
00:37:11This whole
00:37:12Concept of
00:37:14Discipleship
00:37:15Is therefore
00:37:16A relation
00:37:18Of liberty
00:37:21No one goes to his duty
00:37:23Because he must
00:37:24But because
00:37:25This is where his heart
00:37:26Lies
00:37:26His inclinations
00:37:28Are that way
00:37:29For his heart
00:37:29Is in the master's love
00:37:31He follows gladly
00:37:34It no doubt
00:37:35Seems to you
00:37:36My friends
00:37:36When you look on
00:37:38Only as strangers
00:37:39To Christ
00:37:39That this must be
00:37:40A hard and dry surface
00:37:42For you
00:37:43For you can see
00:37:44No attraction
00:37:44In it
00:37:47But the reason is
00:37:48That your heart
00:37:49Is not in it
00:37:50But with a new heart
00:37:52Quickened by the grace
00:37:53Of Christ
00:37:54All this would be changed
00:37:56It will then seem
00:37:57Wholly attractive
00:38:00All the current
00:38:01Of your love
00:38:01Will run that way
00:38:03And the treest freedom
00:38:05Of your nature
00:38:06Will be to go
00:38:07After Christ
00:38:09No sacrifice
00:38:10Will be too hard
00:38:11No service
00:38:12Too great a burden
00:38:14The wonder now
00:38:15Will be that all men
00:38:16Do not rush
00:38:17After Christ
00:38:17To be his eager followers
00:38:21God grant today
00:38:23That you may have
00:38:24This truth
00:38:25As an experience
00:38:26In the choice of Christ
00:38:28And the renewing
00:38:29Of his promised spirit
00:38:32Dear brothers and sisters
00:38:34Are there some of you
00:38:35That hold this same impression
00:38:36Of the life of duty
00:38:39If so
00:38:41You have no knowledge
00:38:42Of this freedom
00:38:43In Christ
00:38:45And the sign
00:38:46Is a dark one
00:38:47For you
00:38:49Perhaps it is not exactly
00:38:51The same impression
00:38:52That you hold
00:38:53It may be
00:38:54You have it only
00:38:55In degree
00:38:57Accordingly
00:38:57As you are
00:38:58A little
00:38:58Over legal
00:39:00In your concept
00:39:01Of duty
00:39:02And you rob yourself
00:39:03In that manner
00:39:03Of its comforts
00:39:05Let your mistake
00:39:06Be now corrected
00:39:07For see in particular
00:39:09That Christ
00:39:10Is not behind you
00:39:11But in front
00:39:12Calling you
00:39:13Drawing you on
00:39:15He wants your faith
00:39:16He wants your love
00:39:17Not a minute
00:39:18Not a scrupulous
00:39:20Careful piling up
00:39:22Of legality
00:39:24You are not to stand off
00:39:26Doing something for him
00:39:27That he is going to examine
00:39:29And report upon
00:39:31As accepted
00:39:32According to statute
00:39:34But you are going to follow
00:39:36After him
00:39:37Be with him
00:39:38And keep in his train
00:39:40Feeding in his pasture
00:39:42And following wherever
00:39:44He leads
00:39:46This is the liberty
00:39:47The beautiful liberty
00:39:49Of Christ
00:39:50Claim your glorious privilege
00:39:52In the name
00:39:53Of a disciple
00:39:54Be no more a servant
00:39:56When Christ
00:39:58Will own you
00:39:59As a friend
00:40:03Furthermore we discover
00:40:05In this subject
00:40:06What to think of
00:40:06That large class
00:40:07Of disciples
00:40:08Who inspire
00:40:10To be especially
00:40:11Faithful
00:40:11And hold
00:40:13A particularly
00:40:14High-toned
00:40:15Manner of life
00:40:15But are after all
00:40:17Principally strenuous
00:40:19In putting others
00:40:20Forward
00:40:22And laying burdens
00:40:23Upon people
00:40:25Christ as we have seen
00:40:26Goes before
00:40:27When he leads
00:40:28And so did his apostles
00:40:30Calling on the saints
00:40:31To follow
00:40:34But there is a cheaper way
00:40:36That some have
00:40:37In which they beguile
00:40:38Even themselves
00:40:40It is a kind of righteousness
00:40:42With them
00:40:43That they have such stern
00:40:44Principles of duty
00:40:46And sacrifice
00:40:49How greatly are they
00:40:50Scandalised too
00:40:52By the self-indulgence
00:40:53The parsimony
00:40:55The show
00:40:55The pleasures
00:40:56And vanities
00:40:57Of others
00:40:57Who profess
00:40:59The Christian name
00:41:02In all this
00:41:03They may be completely sincere
00:41:05Without any form
00:41:07Of hypocrisy
00:41:08They only find it
00:41:10So much easier
00:41:10To be stiff
00:41:11In their judgements
00:41:12And self-renouncing
00:41:14In their words
00:41:15Of exaltations
00:41:16That they slide over
00:41:18Only the more unwittingly
00:41:20Their own looseness
00:41:21And deficiencies
00:41:22In the very things
00:41:24In the very things
00:41:24That they insist on
00:41:25In others
00:41:27How many preachers
00:41:28Of Christ
00:41:29Perhaps
00:41:30Fall into just
00:41:31This snare
00:41:33Pray for us
00:41:34Dear brothers and sisters
00:41:36For our temptation
00:41:37Is great
00:41:41Christians of this class
00:41:43Will often have it
00:41:44As a kind of merit
00:41:45And how many
00:41:46Christian ministers
00:41:47Repeat the same thing
00:41:48That they never ask it
00:41:50Of others
00:41:50To follow them
00:41:53God forbid
00:41:53That they should indulge
00:41:55In any such conceit
00:41:56As that
00:41:58Yes
00:41:58God forbid indeed
00:42:00The conceit
00:42:02For it would be one
00:42:03And what is more
00:42:04God forbids
00:42:05That others
00:42:06Ever
00:42:06Found as their followers
00:42:08And for just the reason
00:42:10That they do not
00:42:11Follow Christ
00:42:13They half consciously
00:42:15Know it themselves
00:42:15And hence
00:42:16Their modesty
00:42:18Would they also
00:42:19Understand how great
00:42:20A thing it is
00:42:21In Christ
00:42:22And his first messengers
00:42:23That they go before
00:42:25To lead all
00:42:27In sacrifice
00:42:28And suffering
00:42:30Doing first
00:42:30Themselves
00:42:31Whatever they lay
00:42:33Upon others
00:42:35I believe my brothers
00:42:37That there are
00:42:38Almost none of us
00:42:39Who do not slide
00:42:40Into this infirmity
00:42:42Complimenting ourselves
00:42:43On the highest principles
00:42:45We hold
00:42:46And the severe standards
00:42:47We set up
00:42:48In our words
00:42:49And judgements
00:42:50When in our practice
00:42:52We fall low enough
00:42:53To require
00:42:54Some such
00:42:55Kind of comfort
00:42:56To piece out
00:42:57Our evidence
00:42:58And satisfaction
00:43:01And then we compliment
00:43:02Again our modesty
00:43:04That we do not
00:43:05Propose to be examples
00:43:06To others
00:43:08How much more
00:43:09And more genuinely
00:43:10Modest
00:43:11Should we be
00:43:13If we judged only
00:43:14As we practiced
00:43:15And set forward
00:43:16Others
00:43:17In words
00:43:18Only as we
00:43:20Fortify word
00:43:21By example
00:43:23Let us be sure
00:43:24To understand
00:43:25Ourselves
00:43:25In this
00:43:27That we are not
00:43:27What we talk
00:43:28Or what we stand
00:43:30For with our words
00:43:31But what we do
00:43:32And what we become
00:43:36Consider what is true
00:43:38Of any real disciple
00:43:39Who is straying
00:43:41From Christ
00:43:44That his holy shepherd
00:43:46Holding
00:43:47Folding the flock
00:43:48And caring for it
00:43:49As a shepherd should
00:43:50Does not let him go
00:43:52Or take it only
00:43:53As a fact
00:43:54That the flock
00:43:55Is diminished
00:43:55By one
00:43:56And not caring
00:43:57By which one
00:43:59He knows
00:44:00He knows which one
00:44:00It is
00:44:01And if the wanderer
00:44:02Will listen
00:44:03He will hear the shepherd
00:44:04Calling his name
00:44:06The love of Christ
00:44:07As we have seen
00:44:08Is personal
00:44:09And particular
00:44:10And he watches
00:44:11For his flock
00:44:12With a personal
00:44:14Direct care
00:44:18Do not imagine then
00:44:19That if you consciously
00:44:21Begin to fall off
00:44:22Or stray
00:44:22You are no longer
00:44:24Caired for
00:44:24By the holy shepherd
00:44:26Christ follows you
00:44:27With his personal
00:44:29And particular love
00:44:30And will not let you go
00:44:33That same tenderness
00:44:34Which melted the heart
00:44:36Of an apostle
00:44:37When he said
00:44:37Who loved me
00:44:39And gave himself
00:44:40For me
00:44:41Pursues you
00:44:42Still
00:44:43It is faithful
00:44:45Patient
00:44:45Forgiving
00:44:46And true
00:44:47It waits
00:44:49And lingers
00:44:49It whispers
00:44:50And it calls
00:44:51Saying
00:44:52Will you also
00:44:53Go away
00:44:56Holding on
00:44:57Upon you
00:44:58By a personal
00:44:59And persistent
00:44:59Love
00:45:00That will not be content
00:45:02Until you are
00:45:03Collected
00:45:04And returned
00:45:05To the fold
00:45:06To be once more
00:45:08A follower
00:45:10And the same is true
00:45:11Where the love of many
00:45:12Waxes cold
00:45:13And where whole bodies
00:45:15Of disciples
00:45:15Can be chilled
00:45:17By worldliness
00:45:18Or carried away
00:45:19By common temptation
00:45:22It is not the mass
00:45:23Only
00:45:24Or the general flock
00:45:25That Christ considers
00:45:27For each one
00:45:28He follows
00:45:29And calls
00:45:30As truly
00:45:31As if he were
00:45:32The only one
00:45:34The wrong they do him
00:45:35And the grief he feels
00:45:37Is personal
00:45:39By name
00:45:40And privately
00:45:41He deals with each
00:45:42Gathering him back
00:45:44If possible
00:45:45To prayer
00:45:46And holy living
00:45:47To faith
00:45:48To sacrifice
00:45:50To works
00:45:51Of love
00:45:52By these
00:45:53Private reproves
00:45:55By these
00:45:56Tender personal
00:45:57Demonstrations
00:45:58Brothers
00:45:59And sisters
00:46:00He is calling you
00:46:02Back
00:46:03To him
00:46:04Today
00:46:06And if you think
00:46:08You have personal
00:46:08Apologies
00:46:09Or have been stolen
00:46:11Away
00:46:11By temptations
00:46:12You could not detect
00:46:13He knows
00:46:14Exactly
00:46:15What is true
00:46:16And will every true
00:46:18And genuine
00:46:19Allowance
00:46:20Take into consideration
00:46:22And as being faithful
00:46:24To you
00:46:24He will make
00:46:25No other
00:46:27Whatever grace
00:46:28You want to bind you up
00:46:29And establish you
00:46:30He waits
00:46:31To give you
00:46:32He will not only
00:46:34Forgive you
00:46:35Readily
00:46:36And completely
00:46:37But he will embrace you
00:46:38Heartily
00:46:39He will pick you up
00:46:41And carry you
00:46:42Once again
00:46:43Into the fold
00:46:44The same
00:46:46Sweet
00:46:46Personal
00:46:47Confidence
00:46:48In which you
00:46:49Stood before
00:46:50O you
00:46:52Wavering
00:46:52Faltering
00:46:53Failing
00:46:54Disciple
00:46:56I come to you
00:46:58At his call
00:46:59And see
00:47:03Finally
00:47:04Let us
00:47:05Consider the close
00:47:06Understanding
00:47:07With Christ
00:47:08The ennobled
00:47:09Confidence
00:47:10And dignity
00:47:11Of a true
00:47:12Disciple
00:47:14To be a disciple
00:47:15Is to have the revelation
00:47:17Of Christ
00:47:17And the secret witness
00:47:19Of his love
00:47:20Within our soul
00:47:21It implies
00:47:23It implies a most intimate
00:47:24And closely reciprocal state
00:47:27According to the representation
00:47:29Of the parable
00:47:30The holy shepherd knows his own sheep
00:47:33With a particular knowledge
00:47:34Calling them by name
00:47:37And while they on their part
00:47:39Know his voice
00:47:40And follow
00:47:42A stranger
00:47:43They will not follow
00:47:44But flee from him
00:47:45And they do not know the voice
00:47:47Of strangers
00:47:49He says to himself
00:47:50I am the good shepherd
00:47:52And I know my sheep
00:47:53And they know me
00:47:56Of this deep and blessed knowledge
00:47:58The knowledge of Christ
00:48:00To be the secret witness
00:48:02Of his love
00:48:03To be in the guidance
00:48:05Of his love
00:48:06To be strong in his support
00:48:08To be led into the mind of God
00:48:10By him
00:48:11And to have our prayers
00:48:13Shaped by his inward teaching
00:48:15To be set in God's everlasting council
00:48:19And to be filled
00:48:20With the testimony
00:48:21That we please him
00:48:23This
00:48:24All this it is
00:48:25To know Christ's voice
00:48:27Happy are we
00:48:28Brothers and sisters
00:48:30If the sense of this knowledge
00:48:32Be in our hearts
00:48:35What can fill us
00:48:37With a loftier inspiration
00:48:39Or lift us
00:48:40Into a more sublime
00:48:41And blessed confidence
00:48:42Than this simple fact
00:48:45The fact
00:48:45What Christ
00:48:47The eternal shepherd
00:48:49Has recognition of us
00:48:51Leading us on
00:48:53By name
00:48:54And calling us
00:48:55To follow
00:48:57No matter
00:48:58Whether he call us
00:48:59Into ways of gain
00:49:00Or suffering
00:49:01Of honour
00:49:01Or of scorn
00:49:03It is all one
00:49:04With such a leader
00:49:05Before us
00:49:06Indeed
00:49:07If we go down
00:49:08To sound
00:49:09The depths of sorrow
00:49:10And ennoble
00:49:11The pains of sacrifice
00:49:13And perfume
00:49:14The grave
00:49:14Of ignominy
00:49:15What are these
00:49:17What are these
00:49:17But a more inspiring
00:49:18And more godlike call
00:49:20Since he is still
00:49:22Our leader
00:49:23Even here
00:49:26Dearest brothers and sisters
00:49:28Here is our misery
00:49:30That we think
00:49:31To go above Christ
00:49:32And find a cheaper way
00:49:34When
00:49:35If we could only
00:49:36Truly descend
00:49:37To his level of sacrifice
00:49:38Take his cross
00:49:40To follow
00:49:40We should be raised up
00:49:42In feeling and power
00:49:44Ennobled in impulse
00:49:45Glorified with him
00:49:47In his joy
00:49:49After all
00:49:50The secret
00:49:51Of all our dryness
00:49:52The root
00:49:53Of all our weakness
00:49:54Our want of fruit
00:49:55And progress
00:49:56Our dearth
00:49:57And desolation
00:49:58Is that we cannot
00:50:00Follow Christ
00:50:03First
00:50:03We do not believe
00:50:04That he has particular
00:50:06And intimate
00:50:07Care of us
00:50:08Or a personal interest
00:50:10In our life
00:50:11And then
00:50:12Falling away
00:50:13At that point
00:50:14From his lead
00:50:15We drop
00:50:16Into ourselves
00:50:18To do a few
00:50:19Casual works
00:50:20Out of the duty
00:50:21Of our hearts
00:50:22In which neither
00:50:23We nor others
00:50:24Are greatly blessed
00:50:27God forbid
00:50:28That we sacrifice
00:50:29Our peace
00:50:29So cheaply
00:50:31Let us hear
00:50:33Or let us hear
00:50:34Today
00:50:34The shepherd's voice
00:50:36And as he knows us
00:50:38In our sinful state
00:50:39Let us go after him
00:50:41In his sacrifice
00:50:43Let us claim
00:50:44That inspiration
00:50:45That ennobled
00:50:46What confidence
00:50:47That comes
00:50:49Of being truly
00:50:49With him
00:50:51Folded thus
00:50:52In his personal care
00:50:53And led
00:50:54By the calling
00:50:55Of his voice
00:50:56For which we always
00:50:57Listen
00:50:58Let us scamper
00:51:00Hastily after him
00:51:02Let us take
00:51:03His promise
00:51:04And follow
00:51:04Going in
00:51:05And out
00:51:06And finding
00:51:08Pastures
00:51:09True
00:51:11Amen
00:51:16From paragraph
00:51:1713 of our order
00:51:19Of service
00:51:27Jesus
00:51:47I believe
00:51:49By whom
00:51:50All things
00:51:51Were made
00:51:52Who for us men
00:51:53And for our salvation
00:51:55Came down from heaven

00:52:00Was made man
00:52:02And was crucified

00:52:07He suffered
00:52:08He suffered
00:52:08And was buried
00:52:09And the third day
00:52:10He rose again
00:52:11According to the scriptures
00:52:13And ascended
00:52:14Into heaven
00:52:15And seated
00:52:17At the right hand
00:52:18Of the Father
00:52:19And he shall come again
00:52:21In glory
00:52:22To judge both the quick
00:52:23And the dead
00:52:24Whose kingdom
00:52:25Shall have no end
00:52:27And I believe
00:52:29In the Holy Ghost
00:52:30The Lord
00:52:31The giver
00:52:31Of life
00:52:32Who proceeds

01:07:00The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ?
01:07:08The bread which we break, is it not a sharing of the body of Christ?
01:07:14For we, being many, are one bread, one body, we all partake of the one bread.
