Friday – a Special Sabbath

Exodus 12:16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you. 

Exodus 12:24, And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.

Isaiah 56:6-7, “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant— Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

 Psalm 95:6, Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

To God be the Glory – Fanny J. Crosby

To God be the glory – great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Lifegate that all may go in. 

God Omnipotent – Henry F. Chorley

God the All-merciful – Earth hath forsaken.
Meekness and mercy and slighted Thy Word.
Let not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
