Bible Reading Isaiah 7 verses 13 – 15a<\/h2>\n

13\u00a0<\/sup>Then Isaiah said, \u201cHear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also?<\/span> 14\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.<\/span> 15\u00a0<\/sup>He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflection<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A time for your own reflection<\/h2>\n

Read the passage again and spend a little time thinking of how the passage speaks to you. The wonder of scripture is that there is always something new to discover and each passage speaks to us in our own need and circumstances.<\/p>\n

Only if you feel you want to – share your thoughts with someone. God inspires our thoughts and you never know, the person you share with may be waiting to hear what you have to say.<\/p>\n

Song<\/h2>\n

Here is the next song –<\/p>\n

“Our souls shall magnify the Lord”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I started writing these songs I had a little panic that I would not manage to complete the required number. I looked at an Isaac Watts song to modify in the same way as I have updated the Charles Wesley ones. Having pondered it for a few days and tinkered a little I decided that the words were fine as they were. So, this is the only song in the series which is only a changed tune and has no input from me on the words. I really like it so I hope you will excuse me still using it.<\/p>\n

It is a little symphonic rock in style.<\/p>\n

Title: Our souls shall magnify
\nWords: Isaac Watts
\nMusic: Generated on Suno.com<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.hatfieldroadmethodist.org\/wptest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Carol-60-Isaac-Watts.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

\"\"<\/a>Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
\nIn God the Savior we rejoice:
\nWhile we repeat the Virgin’s song,
\nMay the same Spirit tune our voice!<\/p>\n

The Highest saw her low estate,
\nAnd mighty things his hand hath done:
\nHis overshadowing power and grace
\nMakes her the mother of his Son.<\/p>\n

Let ev’ry nation call her blest,
\nAnd endless years prolong her fame;
\nBut, God alone must be ador’d:
\nHoly and reverend is his name.<\/p>\n

To those that fear and trust the Lord,
\nHis mercy stands for ever sure:
\nFrom age to age his promise lives,
\nAnd the performance is secure.<\/p>\n

He spake to Abram and his seed,
\n“In thee shall all the earth be blessed;”
\nThe memory of that ancient word
\nLay long in his eternal breast.<\/p>\n

But now no more shall Isr’el wait,
\nNo more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
\nLo, the desire of nations comes, behold;
\nBehold, the promised seed is born!<\/p>\n

To those that fear and trust the Lord,
\nHis mercy stands for ever sure:
\nFrom age to age his promise lives,
\nAnd the performance is secure – is secure.<\/p>\n

To those that fear and trust the Lord,
\nHis mercy stands for ever sure:
\nFrom age to age his promise lives,
\nAnd the performance is secure.<\/p>\n

He spake to Abram and his seed,
\n“In thee shall all the earth be blessed;”
\nThe memory of that ancient word
\nLay long in his eternal breast.<\/p>\n

But now no more shall Isr’el wait,
\nNo more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
\nLo, the desire of nations comes;
\nBehold, the promised seed is born!<\/p>\n
