( O Full Moon 20.07)
(Exodus 17. 1-7; Acts8. 14- 25)
Some sat in darkness and in gloom, prisoners in misery and in irons…Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress…Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind. Psalm 107. 10, 13, 15
My spirit on thy care
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For thou art love divine. 334. 1
The high priest and all who were with him arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said, “Go, stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message about this life.”
Acts 5. 17-20
See round thine ark the hungry billows curling;
See how thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us. 358. 2
