What a way to
begin the Sabbath! Amen!
00:00:47.61\00:00:50.32
Together here in the
house of the Lord. Amen!
00:00:50.33\00:00:53.12
And we're going to be
singing praises to God tonight
00:00:53.13\00:00:56.72
as we are starting
and getting ready to sing
00:00:56.73\00:01:00.47
and present to you the music
of our new Pillars Two, album.
00:01:00.48\00:01:05.46
How many of you
enjoyed Pillars One,
00:01:05.47\00:01:07.49
can I see your hands?
00:01:07.50\00:01:08.47
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:01:08.48\00:01:10.23
I know it was
great blessing to me.
00:01:10.24\00:01:12.80
And then when Danny
Shelton, we were asking him,
00:01:12.81\00:01:15.71
what can we do next?
00:01:15.72\00:01:16.90
He said I want to us to go
back and find the old hymns.
00:01:16.91\00:01:22.56
The hymns the
beginning of the Advent Movement
00:01:22.57\00:01:26.18
and even further back than that,
00:01:26.19\00:01:28.24
the ones that those in
the Advent Movement were
00:01:28.25\00:01:31.00
singing as their old
hymns and bring them back
00:01:31.01\00:01:35.17
and teach them
to our young people
00:01:35.18\00:01:37.52
and people that have
never heard these songs before.
00:01:37.53\00:01:41.00
And so this was a
very important time
00:01:41.01\00:01:43.15
and Danny you
brought somebody onboard
00:01:43.16\00:01:45.24
to help with that,
who is that person?
00:01:45.25\00:01:46.88
Well, we brought
to Tim Parton for one
00:01:46.89\00:01:49.30
who is an
internationally known pianist
00:01:49.31\00:01:52.77
and actually
singer as well musician.
00:01:52.78\00:01:55.60
And of course we
have our own ET Everett
00:01:55.61\00:01:57.60
and we have Bobby
Bradley and then of course
00:01:57.61\00:01:59.67
we have C.A Murray,
every time we got you
00:01:59.68\00:02:01.84
and Pastor John Lomacang
and C.A and Mollie and Yvonne.
00:02:01.85\00:02:05.48
We all went over
and Tim begin to play
00:02:05.49\00:02:07.47
some of these
songs out of the books.
00:02:07.48\00:02:08.92
And when we first heard him,
00:02:08.93\00:02:10.27
I said I don't
know about these songs
00:02:10.28\00:02:11.85
but as we listened to the words
00:02:11.86\00:02:13.80
they were so incredible.
00:02:13.81\00:02:15.32
We said, what can we do
00:02:15.33\00:02:16.33
with these songs to
bring them to life again,
00:02:16.34\00:02:18.92
that's maybe some of them
00:02:18.93\00:02:19.90
had lain dormant
for a hundred years.
00:02:19.91\00:02:22.07
What can we do?
00:02:22.08\00:02:23.07
And as we begin, Tim
began to workout on them
00:02:23.08\00:02:24.77
and get arrangements.
00:02:24.78\00:02:25.90
We began to put together
a project went really fast
00:02:25.91\00:02:28.85
actually and so I
guess we are all ready.
00:02:28.86\00:02:31.64
We ready. We are get to...
00:02:31.65\00:02:32.88
And Tim Parton,
why don't you come out?
00:02:32.89\00:02:35.00
And, all right. And
what are we gonna do first?
00:02:35.01\00:02:41.68
"Jesus is coming
again." All right.
00:02:41.69\00:02:44.27
Jesus is coming again!
00:03:11.80\00:03:16.53
Jesus is coming again!
00:03:16.54\00:03:23.73
Lift up the
trumpet, And loud let it ring
00:03:23.74\00:03:33.24
Jesus is coming again!
00:03:33.25\00:03:38.25
Cheer up, ye
pilgrims Be joyful and sing
00:03:38.26\00:03:44.14
Jesus is coming again!
00:03:44.15\00:03:48.98
Echo it, hilltops,
proclaim it, ye plains
00:03:48.99\00:03:53.82
Jesus is coming again!
00:03:53.83\00:03:58.52
Coming in glory,
the Lamb that was slain
00:03:58.53\00:04:03.42
Jesus is coming again!
00:04:03.43\00:04:08.25
Coming again, coming
again, Jesus is coming again!
00:04:08.26\00:04:26.10
Heavings of
earth, tell the vast,
00:04:26.11\00:04:29.45
wondering throng,
Jesus is coming again!
00:04:29.46\00:04:37.33
Tempests and
whirlwinds, the anthem prolong
00:04:37.34\00:04:43.00
Jesus is coming again!
00:04:43.01\00:04:51.98
Lift up the
trumpet, and loud let it ring
00:04:51.99\00:05:01.23
Jesus is coming again!
00:05:01.24\00:05:06.09
Cheer up, ye
pilgrims, be joyful and sing
00:05:06.10\00:05:10.91
Jesus is coming again!
00:05:10.92\00:05:15.52
Coming again, coming
again, Jesus is coming again!
00:05:15.53\00:05:25.10
Coming again,
Jesus is coming again!
00:05:25.11\00:05:41.24
Amen.
00:05:41.25\00:05:48.98
Glory be to the Father,
00:06:01.33\00:06:05.98
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost
00:06:05.99\00:06:16.87
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be
00:06:16.88\00:06:28.43
World without end. Amen, Amen!
00:06:28.44\00:06:41.99
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
00:07:03.92\00:07:15.67
Early in the morning
our song shall rise to thee
00:07:15.68\00:07:27.56
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
00:07:27.57\00:07:39.55
God in three
persons, blessed Trinity!
00:07:39.56\00:08:00.80
Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide thee
00:08:00.81\00:08:12.91
Though the eye of sinful
man thy glory may not see
00:08:12.92\00:08:28.27
Only thou art holy,
there is none beside thee
00:08:28.28\00:08:40.34
Perfect in power,
in love and purity
00:08:40.35\00:08:54.61
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be
00:09:03.85\00:09:15.24
World without end. Amen, Amen!
00:09:15.25\00:09:26.90
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
00:09:26.91\00:09:38.03
All Thy works
shall praise Thy name,
00:09:38.04\00:09:43.09
in earth and sky and sea,
00:09:43.10\00:09:49.59
Thousands and ten thousands
bowing down before Thee
00:09:49.60\00:09:59.99
You were and you are,
And evermore shall be.
00:10:00.00\00:10:21.12
Amen! Amen.
00:10:21.13\00:10:32.20
Getty and Townend said
that there are two reasons
00:10:42.20\00:10:45.58
that they write modern Hymns.
00:10:45.59\00:10:47.82
The first is to teach the faith.
00:10:47.83\00:10:50.27
The second is to try
to create a more timeless
00:10:50.28\00:10:52.77
musical style that
every generation can sing,
00:10:52.78\00:10:56.76
a style that relates to
the past and the future.
00:10:56.77\00:11:00.39
In Christ Alone was
written to make a statement
00:11:00.40\00:11:03.20
about the life
and love of Christ.
00:11:03.21\00:11:06.48
In Christ alone my hope is found
00:11:22.05\00:11:27.83
He is my light,
my strength, my song
00:11:27.84\00:11:32.79
This
Cornerstone, this solid ground
00:11:32.80\00:11:38.21
Firm through the
fiercest drought and storm
00:11:38.22\00:11:43.14
What heights of
love, what depths of peace
00:11:43.15\00:11:48.41
When fears are
stilled, when strivings cease
00:11:48.42\00:11:53.87
My Comforter, my all in all
00:11:53.88\00:11:59.11
Here in the love
of Christ I stand.
00:11:59.12\00:12:06.33
In Christ alone,
who took on flesh
00:12:11.79\00:12:17.29
Fullness of God in helpless babe
00:12:17.30\00:12:22.20
This gift of
love and righteousness
00:12:22.21\00:12:27.72
Scorned by the
ones He came to save
00:12:27.73\00:12:32.89
Till on that cross as Jesus died
00:12:32.90\00:12:38.17
The wrath of God was satisfied
00:12:38.18\00:12:43.33
For every sin on Him was laid
00:12:43.34\00:12:48.73
Here in the
death of Christ I live
00:12:48.74\00:12:55.82
There in the ground His body lay
00:13:14.68\00:13:19.94
Light of the
world by darkness slain
00:13:19.95\00:13:24.77
Then bursting
forth in glorious day
00:13:24.78\00:13:30.45
Up from the grave He rose again
00:13:30.46\00:13:35.21
And as He stands in victory
00:13:35.22\00:13:40.46
Sin's curse has
lost its grip on me
00:13:40.47\00:13:45.73
For I am His and He is mine
00:13:45.74\00:13:51.21
Bought with the
precious blood of Christ
00:13:51.22\00:13:59.06
No guilt in
life, no fear in death
00:14:03.97\00:14:09.59
This is the
power of Christ in me
00:14:09.60\00:14:14.49
From life's first
cry to final breath
00:14:14.50\00:14:20.10
Jesus commands my destiny
00:14:20.11\00:14:24.87
No power of
hell, no scheme of man
00:14:24.88\00:14:30.10
Can ever pluck me from His hand
00:14:30.11\00:14:37.99
Till He returns to take me home
00:14:38.00\00:14:43.37
Here in the power
of Christ I'll stand
00:14:43.38\00:14:48.36
No power of
hell, no scheme of man
00:14:48.37\00:14:53.57
Can ever pluck me from His hand
00:14:53.58\00:15:01.34
Till He returns or calls me home
00:15:01.35\00:15:04.03
Here in the power
of Christ I'll stand.
00:15:04.04\00:15:23.35
Wow, praise the Lord.
00:15:28.63\00:15:30.98
I'm gonna invite, I
have a little kids choired
00:15:30.99\00:15:34.10
to help me and it's
00:15:34.11\00:15:35.36
from the Thompsonville
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:15:35.37\00:15:38.07
and along with my grandchildren.
00:15:38.08\00:15:40.20
And the song
we're gonna be singing
00:15:40.21\00:15:41.63
"Tis love that makes us happy"
00:15:41.64\00:15:43.46
probably many of
you have sing this song
00:15:43.47\00:15:45.99
in your Sabbath
school classes growing up,
00:15:46.00\00:15:48.72
it was written by F E Belden.
00:15:48.73\00:15:50.76
And he wrote it in 1892.
00:15:50.77\00:15:54.11
And he was actually a
nephew of James and Ellen White.
00:15:54.12\00:15:57.28
One of the most
prolific Adventist writers,
00:15:57.29\00:16:00.03
wrote over 700 songs.
00:16:00.04\00:16:02.54
So right now we're gonna sing,
00:16:02.55\00:16:03.76
"Tis love that makes us happy."
00:16:03.77\00:16:07.10
This world is full of sorrow
Of sickness, death, and sin
00:16:28.46\00:16:38.59
With loving heart
we'll do our part.
00:16:38.60\00:16:43.84
And try some soul to win
00:16:43.85\00:16:48.80
And when this life is
over And we are called above
00:16:48.81\00:16:58.34
Our song shall be,
eternally Of Jesus and His love
00:16:58.35\00:17:12.12
God is love, we're
His little children
00:17:12.13\00:17:18.80
God is love, we
would be like Him
00:17:18.81\00:17:25.08

'Tis love that smoothes the way
00:17:28.32\00:17:31.79
It helps us
mind, it makes us kind
00:17:31.80\00:17:35.37

00:17:53.25\00:17:56.77
'Tis love that smoothes the way
00:17:56.78\00:17:59.95
It helps us
mind, it makes us kind
00:17:59.96\00:18:03.61
To others every
day All right, kids.

Praise Him, praise Him

00:18:37.04\00:18:43.17
Sing with us. God is
love, we would be like Him.
00:18:43.18\00:18:50.14
'Tis love that makes us happy
00:18:50.15\00:18:53.41
'Tis love that smoothes the way
00:18:53.42\00:18:56.74
It helps us
mind, it makes us kind
00:18:56.75\00:19:00.28
To others every day
00:19:00.29\00:19:05.07
'Tis love that makes us happy
00:19:05.08\00:19:08.40

00:19:08.41\00:19:11.76
It helps us

00:19:11.77\00:19:15.32
To others every day
00:19:15.33\00:19:22.21
All ye little children,
00:19:22.22\00:19:28.39
Amen. Amen!
00:19:28.40\00:19:29.61
Okay, kids, thank you.
00:19:29.62\00:19:33.46
Thank you, thank you
Jessie, then other grandson,
00:19:33.47\00:19:38.46
Jessie, you might, you
probably used to seeing him
00:19:38.47\00:19:40.71
a lot smaller on the Kids Time.
00:19:40.72\00:19:43.05
Someday he will be tall as me
00:19:43.06\00:19:44.39
if he keeps growing, you know.
00:19:44.40\00:19:46.93
So I'm glad Jessie
has taken up the guitar
00:19:46.94\00:19:49.11
and some other
instruments as well as Haley.
00:19:49.12\00:19:51.84
And I'm so impressed
with these young people
00:19:51.85\00:19:54.67
because they love Jesus.
00:19:54.68\00:19:56.13
They are willing to
dedicate their talents
00:19:56.14\00:19:57.79
at a young age and
they're learning the songs
00:19:57.80\00:20:00.94
that were learned in the
very beginning of Adventism.
00:20:00.95\00:20:03.45
Some of the songs
I think is wonderful.
00:20:03.46\00:20:05.89
There is a place of quiet rest
00:20:37.98\00:20:46.05
Near to the hear of God
00:20:46.06\00:20:52.36
A place where sin cannot molest
00:20:52.37\00:21:00.28
Near to the heart of God
00:21:00.29\00:21:06.73
O Jesus blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
00:21:06.74\00:21:21.01
Hold us, who wait before
Thee Near to the heart of God
00:21:21.02\00:21:39.00
There is a
place of comfort sweet
00:21:39.01\00:21:46.93
Near to the heart of God
00:21:46.94\00:21:53.22
A place where we our Savior meet
00:21:53.23\00:22:01.18
Near to the heart of God
00:22:01.19\00:22:07.38
O Jesus blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
00:22:07.39\00:22:21.82
Hold us, who wait before Thee
00:22:21.83\00:22:29.87
Near to the heart of God
00:22:29.88\00:22:37.21
There is a place of full release
00:22:58.10\00:23:06.01
Near to the heart of God,
00:23:06.02\00:23:12.40
A place where
all is joy and peace
00:23:12.41\00:23:20.48
Near to the heart of God.
00:23:20.49\00:23:29.00
O Jesus blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
00:23:29.01\00:23:42.88
Hold us, who wait before Thee
00:23:42.89\00:23:54.62
Near to the heart of God
00:23:54.63\00:24:11.61
As we have mentioned,
the second great revival
00:24:35.41\00:24:37.85
began really in the late 1700s.
00:24:37.86\00:24:41.65
This song "My faith
has found a resting place"
00:24:41.66\00:24:44.25
really comes from the end
of that great 18th century,
00:24:44.26\00:24:49.54
19th century
rather 1800s of revival
00:24:49.55\00:24:52.15
about the time
of Dwight L. Moody
00:24:52.16\00:24:54.21
when he was doing
his work in Chicago.
00:24:54.22\00:24:56.69
It is interesting
that such a wonderful song
00:24:56.70\00:24:58.78
is shrouded in controversy.
00:24:58.79\00:25:01.54
The first
controversy is authorship.
00:25:01.55\00:25:04.17
Now depending on
what hymnal you have,
00:25:04.18\00:25:06.86
the author's name is different.
00:25:06.87\00:25:09.34
In the Adventist hymnal
00:25:09.35\00:25:10.72
the author is
listed as Lidie H. Edmunds.
00:25:10.73\00:25:14.85
But there is some very
credible scholarship that says
00:25:14.86\00:25:18.38
Lidie H. Edmunds never existed.
00:25:18.39\00:25:22.29
That was just a pen name
00:25:22.30\00:25:24.08
for the writer
Eliza Edmunds Hewitt.
00:25:24.09\00:25:28.48
So depending on
what hymnal you have,
00:25:28.49\00:25:30.37
you'll have Lidie H.
Edmunds or Eliza Edmunds Hewitt.
00:25:30.38\00:25:33.59
Many believe that Edmunds
was just a fictitious name.
00:25:33.60\00:25:36.12
That happened many times
for writers who wrote a lot.
00:25:36.13\00:25:39.32
They use several different names
00:25:39.33\00:25:40.93
and their
publishers encourage them
00:25:40.94\00:25:42.39
to do that so that you
didn't get a lot of material
00:25:42.40\00:25:44.66
from one writer but you got
all of these different names.
00:25:44.67\00:25:47.11
That's controversy number one.
00:25:47.12\00:25:49.28
Controversy
number two is the music.
00:25:49.29\00:25:52.54
The Adventist hymnal
says Norwegian Melody.
00:25:52.55\00:25:55.17
But if you get another
hymnal or do a little research,
00:25:55.18\00:25:59.01
it says that the
melody was written
00:25:59.02\00:26:01.55
by William
Kirkpatrick of Pennsylvania.
00:26:01.56\00:26:05.20
So it's either
a Norwegian Melody
00:26:05.21\00:26:07.41
or William Kirkpatrick's melody.
00:26:07.42\00:26:09.78
And many times
in the 1800s, 1700s,
00:26:09.79\00:26:12.92
popular tunes
were sort of sanitized
00:26:12.93\00:26:16.13
and given religious overtones.
00:26:16.14\00:26:18.46
And controversy number three,
00:26:18.47\00:26:20.19
depending on
what hymnal you have,
00:26:20.20\00:26:22.18
the song says I
need no other argument
00:26:22.19\00:26:25.95
or I need no other evidence.
00:26:25.96\00:26:29.18
The Adventist
hymnal says evidence,
00:26:29.19\00:26:31.62
and since I'm an
Adventist I'm using evidence.
00:26:31.63\00:26:35.90
Now to be sure these
are not great controversies,
00:26:35.91\00:26:38.51
they're just
interesting little new answers
00:26:38.52\00:26:40.53
on this hymn which is a
great hymn of the church,
00:26:40.54\00:26:43.83
which was written
at the close of this
00:26:43.84\00:26:46.82
great century of hymn writing,
00:26:46.83\00:26:48.62
"My faith has
found a resting place."
00:26:48.63\00:26:53.59
My faith has
found a resting place
00:27:10.56\00:27:16.04
Not in device nor creed
00:27:16.05\00:27:21.07
I trust the Ever-living
One That He for me shall plead
00:27:21.08\00:27:31.27
I need no other
evidence I need no other plea
00:27:31.28\00:27:41.94
It is enough that Jesus
died And rose again for me
00:27:41.95\00:27:55.45
Enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
00:28:00.00\00:28:10.32
A sinful soul, I come to
Him He'll not cast me out
00:28:10.33\00:28:20.74
I need no other
evidence I need no other plea
00:28:20.75\00:28:31.40
It is enough that Jesus
died And rose again for me
00:28:31.41\00:28:44.22
The great
Physician heals the sick
00:28:44.23\00:28:49.50
The lost He came to save
00:28:49.51\00:28:54.75
For me His
precious blood He shed
00:28:54.76\00:28:59.92
For me His life He gave
00:28:59.93\00:29:05.03
I need no other
evidence I need no other plea
00:29:05.04\00:29:15.84
It is enough that Jesus
died And rose again for me
00:29:15.85\00:29:30.13
My soul is resting on the
Word The living Word of God
00:29:36.61\00:29:46.93
Salvation in my Savior's
name Salvation thro' His blood
00:29:46.94\00:29:57.17
I need no other
evidence I need no other plea
00:29:57.18\00:30:07.73
It is enough that Jesus
died And rose again for me.
00:30:07.74\00:30:30.76
Together Let Us Sweetly
Live is one of those hymns
00:30:40.71\00:30:45.20
that has always
been around very little
00:30:45.21\00:30:48.16
as known as to
where it was written
00:30:48.17\00:30:51.87
or prayer originated.
00:30:51.88\00:30:54.34
It has simply always been there.
00:30:54.35\00:30:56.65
But it was one of the
favorites of early Adventists.
00:30:56.66\00:31:00.06
Joshua Hines, for
instance recognized
00:31:00.07\00:31:03.46
the message of the song.
00:31:03.47\00:31:05.44
Part of which message says,
00:31:05.45\00:31:06.95
"I Am Bound for
Canaan Land." Amen!
00:31:06.96\00:31:10.08
And so that was
the Second Coming song
00:31:10.09\00:31:12.89
and he included it in a
book of songs that he printed.
00:31:12.90\00:31:17.33
Joshua Hines realized not
only that singing was good
00:31:17.34\00:31:21.53
but that publishing the
words of music was something
00:31:21.54\00:31:25.23
that was very exciting.
00:31:25.24\00:31:26.79
And for people to actually see,
00:31:26.80\00:31:29.38
what the
message of the song was.
00:31:29.39\00:31:31.73
Later on F. E. Belden
included it about 1886,
00:31:31.74\00:31:36.94
I believe, in Hymns and Tunes,
00:31:36.95\00:31:39.62
one of the early
Adventists Hymns notes.
00:31:39.63\00:31:42.26
And it has been
included in most Adventist books
00:31:42.27\00:31:46.82
ever since, beautiful song.
00:31:46.83\00:31:49.97
Together let us sweetly live,
00:32:00.92\00:32:06.54
I am bound for
the land of Canaan,
00:32:06.55\00:32:10.99
Together love to Jesus give
00:32:11.00\00:32:16.72
I am bound for
the land of Canaan
00:32:16.73\00:32:21.50
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
00:32:21.51\00:32:26.08
I am bound for
the land of Canaan,
00:32:26.09\00:32:30.60
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
00:32:30.61\00:32:35.23
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:32:35.24\00:32:40.54
Together let us watch and pray,
00:32:45.53\00:32:50.05
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:32:50.06\00:32:54.59
And wait redemption's joyous day
00:32:54.60\00:32:59.19
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:32:59.20\00:33:03.69
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
00:33:03.70\00:33:08.36
I am bound for
the land of Canaan,
00:33:08.37\00:33:12.74
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
00:33:12.75\00:33:17.34
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:33:17.35\00:33:24.45
Our songs of praise
shall fill the skies,
00:33:24.46\00:33:30.04
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:33:30.05\00:33:34.61
While higher still
our joys shall rise,
00:33:34.62\00:33:40.40
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:33:40.41\00:33:45.69
Then come with
me, beloved friend,
00:33:54.21\00:33:59.64
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:33:59.65\00:34:04.45
Oh, the joys to
come shall never end,
00:34:04.46\00:34:10.72
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:34:10.73\00:34:16.03
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
00:34:16.04\00:34:21.58
I am bound for
the land of Canaan,
00:34:21.59\00:34:29.69
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
00:34:29.70\00:34:35.15
I am bound for
the land of Canaan.
00:34:35.16\00:34:40.63
I am bound for the
land of Canaan. Amen!
00:34:40.64\00:34:58.84
There are few songs that capture
00:35:05.24\00:35:06.94
the essence of
what pathos is more than
00:35:06.95\00:35:09.02
in the heart of Jesus.
00:35:09.03\00:35:11.11
Credit for writing this
hymn is given to Alex Pugh.
00:35:11.12\00:35:14.21
The challenge is no
one knows who Alex Pugh is?
00:35:14.22\00:35:17.63
Whoever she was, Alex Pugh,
00:35:17.64\00:35:19.86
was greatly used by the Lord
to write one of the sweetest,
00:35:19.87\00:35:23.36
most tender and inviting
songs from the Christian Era.
00:35:23.37\00:35:27.34
In the heart of Jesus
There is love for you,
00:35:34.44\00:35:47.73
And love most pure and
tender, Love most deep and true,
00:35:47.74\00:36:01.57
Why should you be
lonely? Why for friendship sigh?
00:36:01.58\00:36:15.43
When the heart of
Jesus Has a full supply?
00:36:15.44\00:36:30.70
In the mind of Jesus
There is thought for you,
00:36:41.16\00:36:54.39
And warm as summer
sunshine, Sweet as morning dew,
00:36:54.40\00:37:08.38
Why should you be fearful?
Why take anxious thought!
00:37:08.39\00:37:22.23
Since the mind of Jesus
Cares for those He bought?
00:37:22.24\00:37:37.13
In the home of Jesus
There's a place for you,
00:37:46.76\00:38:00.00
And glorious, bright, and
joyous, Calm and peaceful too,
00:38:00.01\00:38:14.09
Why then, like a
wanderer, Roam with weary pace,
00:38:14.10\00:38:29.85
If the home of Jesus
Holds for you a place? Amen!
00:38:29.86\00:38:54.19
Wow! Thank you. Have you
all been blessed so far? Amen!
00:39:01.45\00:39:05.27
And again we give all
credit to the Lord Jesus Christ
00:39:05.28\00:39:08.72
because I mean
Reggie and Ladye Love,
00:39:08.73\00:39:11.21
Yvonne, you know,
numbers of folks up here John,
00:39:11.22\00:39:13.70
and Melody Tamiami,
these singers they are all,
00:39:13.71\00:39:17.41
we give all the credit
to God because without Him
00:39:17.42\00:39:20.45
we would be nothing,
we wouldn't even be here.
00:39:20.46\00:39:22.77
So all of this
tonight, I'm so thankful
00:39:22.78\00:39:25.31
and Reggie and Ladye you
all sing on the First Pillars
00:39:25.32\00:39:27.82
and all the songs,
and I mean you just did
00:39:27.83\00:39:30.59
such a great job and
Reggie you are saying
00:39:30.60\00:39:32.46
at the General
Conference Session.
00:39:32.47\00:39:34.46
And any of you
probably, you probably saw him
00:39:34.47\00:39:36.85
there singing, and
from the Pillars One.
00:39:36.86\00:39:39.84
But we're gonna
continue with this program
00:39:39.85\00:39:42.35
The Pillars of Our Faith hymns.
00:39:42.36\00:39:44.01
And we're gonna
invite one of the,
00:39:44.02\00:39:45.68
to me is a guy, he is a brother.
00:39:45.69\00:39:47.88
I love him as a
brother and he's been
00:39:47.89\00:39:50.13
such a blessing
to me in my life.
00:39:50.14\00:39:52.13
He and his wife Angie,
00:39:52.14\00:39:53.24
I'm talking about
Pastor John Lomacang,
00:39:53.25\00:39:55.37
the Pastor right here at
the Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:39:55.38\00:39:58.04
locally, and Brother
John is gonna minister to us.
00:39:58.05\00:40:01.86
Thank you, Danny.
God bless you, John.
00:40:01.87\00:40:04.07
Don't you see my Jesus Coming?
00:40:21.91\00:40:27.72
Don't you see in yonder cloud?
00:40:27.73\00:40:34.58
With ten
thousand angels round Him
00:40:34.59\00:40:40.35
See how they my Jesus crowd!
00:40:40.36\00:40:46.97
I am bound for the kingdom,
00:40:46.98\00:40:52.61
Will you go to glory with me?
00:40:52.62\00:40:58.72
Hallelujah! O
praise ye the Lord!
00:40:58.73\00:41:06.21
Don't you see
the saints ascending?
00:41:08.69\00:41:13.82
Hear them shouting thro' the air
00:41:13.83\00:41:20.05
Jesus smiling, trumpets sounding
00:41:20.06\00:41:25.43
Now His glory they will share
00:41:25.44\00:41:31.35
I am bound for the kingdom,
00:41:31.36\00:41:36.45
Will you go to glory with me?
00:41:36.46\00:41:42.13
Hallelujah! O
praise ye the Lord!
00:41:42.14\00:41:48.88
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
00:41:48.89\00:41:54.79
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
00:41:54.80\00:42:02.10
Don't you see the heavens open?
00:42:02.11\00:42:07.95
And the saints in glory there
00:42:07.96\00:42:14.78
Shouts of triumph
bursting around you
00:42:14.79\00:42:20.20
Glory, glory, every where
00:42:20.21\00:42:30.48
I am bound for the kingdom,
00:42:30.49\00:42:35.21
Will you go to glory with me?
00:42:35.22\00:42:40.77
Hallelujah! O
praise ye the Lord!
00:42:40.78\00:42:47.55
Hallelujah! O
praise ye the Lord!
00:42:47.56\00:43:05.27
Wow! What a message? Amen.
00:43:13.90\00:43:16.67
Jesus is coming
again. Amen! I love that one.
00:43:16.68\00:43:19.89
And... oh, that is
exciting song, it really is.
00:43:19.90\00:43:24.70
You can see why,
those who sang it,
00:43:24.71\00:43:28.62
we're so excited about
the Second Coming of Jesus
00:43:28.63\00:43:31.90
and so many of these
Camille, are just that way.
00:43:31.91\00:43:35.95
The next song
we're gonna be singing,
00:43:35.96\00:43:37.52
the choir we'll sing together
is a medley of two songs,
00:43:37.53\00:43:41.16
we have heard which was
the song that was written,
00:43:41.17\00:43:46.74
right about the same
time that the Second Coming
00:43:46.75\00:43:51.16
was being pronounced.
00:43:51.17\00:43:52.40
It was written by William Hyde.
00:43:52.41\00:43:54.46
And this was the
man who was present
00:43:54.47\00:43:57.29
when Ellen White had the vision.
00:43:57.30\00:44:00.24
You remember the
vision that talked about
00:44:00.25\00:44:02.27
the language of
Canaan and you remember
00:44:02.28\00:44:04.60
that song we sang in Pillars One
00:44:04.61\00:44:07.22
about the language of Canaan.
00:44:07.23\00:44:09.00
This man was there
00:44:09.01\00:44:11.32
and so he originally wrote this,
00:44:11.33\00:44:14.06
called this
song, "A Better Land."
00:44:14.07\00:44:16.61
But it was changed
to "We Have Heard."
00:44:16.62\00:44:20.56
And the hymn
remained one of Ellen White's
00:44:20.57\00:44:23.19
favorites throughout her life.
00:44:23.20\00:44:26.05
Friends have
noted that she sing it
00:44:26.06\00:44:29.03
through her final
illness and even during
00:44:29.04\00:44:32.11
the last week of her life.
00:44:32.12\00:44:34.19
Perhaps we have
heard it was so dear to her
00:44:34.20\00:44:37.62
because it reminded
her of her first vision.
00:44:37.63\00:44:41.77
This was the vision
where Christ Himself
00:44:41.78\00:44:44.34
gave her a tour of heaven.
00:44:44.35\00:44:46.47
Tim Pardon has joined
this together with another song
00:44:46.48\00:44:50.34
that is almost ageless
it's over 300 years old.
00:44:50.35\00:44:54.33
It was at least a
140 years old at the time
00:44:54.34\00:44:57.55
when this song was
written and about 1850
00:44:57.56\00:45:00.93
it was a 140 years old already.
00:45:00.94\00:45:03.86
"It's where
marching to Zion". Amen.
00:45:03.87\00:45:06.89
A song that was put
together by Sir Isaac Watts.
00:45:06.90\00:45:12.34
And so now we're going to
sing these two songs together.
00:45:12.35\00:45:18.03
We have heard from
the bright, the holy land,
00:45:54.66\00:45:59.52
We have heard, and
our hearts are glad,
00:45:59.53\00:46:04.35
For we were a
lonely pilgrim band,
00:46:04.36\00:46:09.29
And weary, and worn, and sad.
00:46:09.30\00:46:14.23
They tell us the
saints have a dwelling there
00:46:14.24\00:46:19.03
No longer are homeless ones,
00:46:19.04\00:46:23.83
And we know that
the goodly land is fair,
00:46:23.84\00:46:28.72
Where life's pure river runs.
00:46:28.73\00:46:35.97
We have heard of the
palms, the robes, the crowns,
00:46:35.98\00:46:40.92
And the silvery band in white.
00:46:40.93\00:46:45.67
Of the city fair,
with pearly gates,
00:46:45.68\00:46:50.61
All radiant with light.
00:46:50.62\00:46:55.62
We have heard of the
saints and the angels there,
00:46:55.63\00:47:00.39
With their harps of
gold, how they sing,
00:47:00.40\00:47:05.10
Of the mount with the
fruitful tree of life,
00:47:05.11\00:47:10.15
Of the leaves
that healing bring.
00:47:10.16\00:47:15.09
We're marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion,
00:47:15.10\00:47:24.69
We're marching upward to Zion,
00:47:24.70\00:47:29.53
The beautiful city of God.
00:47:29.54\00:47:35.46
The King of that
country, He is fair,
00:47:39.61\00:47:44.69
He's the joy and
light of the place,
00:47:44.70\00:47:49.78
In His beauty we
shall behold Him there,
00:47:49.79\00:47:55.08
And bask in His smiling face.
00:47:55.09\00:48:02.85
We'll be there, we'll
be there in a little while,
00:48:02.86\00:48:07.73
We'll join the
pure and the blest,
00:48:07.74\00:48:12.63
We'll have the
palm, the robe, the crown,
00:48:12.64\00:48:17.32
And forever be at rest.
00:48:17.33\00:48:24.63
We're marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion,
00:48:24.64\00:48:34.28
We're marching upward to Zion,
00:48:34.29\00:48:39.34
The beautiful city of God.
00:48:39.35\00:48:44.03
We're marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion,
00:48:44.04\00:48:53.85
We're marching upward to Zion,
00:48:53.86\00:48:58.84
The beautiful city of God.
00:48:58.85\00:49:03.66
We have heard from
the bright, the holy land,
00:49:03.67\00:49:09.67
That beautiful city of God,
00:49:09.68\00:49:15.88
City of God. Amen.
00:49:15.89\00:49:24.96
The Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:49:34.37\00:49:36.17
had not yet come together.
00:49:36.18\00:49:38.45
Even its name was over
a decade in the future.
00:49:38.46\00:49:42.31
What an exclusive joy
it must have been to be
00:49:42.32\00:49:46.13
musically
transported to heavenly places
00:49:46.14\00:49:49.75
by singing such heavenly music.
00:49:49.76\00:49:52.10
What heavenly music
steals over the sea!
00:49:58.98\00:50:08.52
Entrancing the
senses like sweet melody!
00:50:08.53\00:50:18.28
"Tis the voice of the
angels borne soft on the air
00:50:18.29\00:50:30.82
For me they are
singing, their welcome I hear
00:50:30.83\00:50:42.14
On the banks of old
Jordan, here gazing I stand,
00:50:50.58\00:51:02.78
And earnestly longing,
I stretch forth my hand,
00:51:02.79\00:51:14.93
Send a convoy of
angels, dear Jesus, I pray!
00:51:14.94\00:51:27.43
Let me join that sweet
music, come take me away!
00:51:27.44\00:51:39.01
Though dark are the
waters and rough is the wave,
00:51:59.36\00:52:09.60
If Jesus permit, the
wild surges I'll brave,
00:52:09.61\00:52:19.54
For that heavenly
music hat ravished me so,
00:52:19.55\00:52:32.45
I must join in that
chorus! I will go! Let me go!
00:52:32.46\00:52:55.08
Ooh! Amen.
00:52:55.09\00:53:09.04
Edward Mote himself
recalls that one day
00:53:14.09\00:53:16.13
we're walking down the
street in his native London,
00:53:16.14\00:53:19.15
the chorus came to him,
00:53:19.16\00:53:20.65
"On Christ the
Solid Rock I Stand." Amen!
00:53:20.66\00:53:23.71
All other
ground is sinking sand.
00:53:23.72\00:53:26.58
Mote was neither a
preacher nor him writer
00:53:26.59\00:53:29.07
and certainly had no
background that would lead
00:53:29.08\00:53:31.22
anyone to think that he
had training to write a hymn,
00:53:31.23\00:53:34.95
especially hymn such as this on.
00:53:34.96\00:53:37.43
His innkeeper parents
would not so much as allow
00:53:37.44\00:53:40.54
a Bible in his house.
00:53:40.55\00:53:42.32
It's a wonder that
he was able to hear
00:53:42.33\00:53:44.11
some of the Gospel as a team
00:53:44.12\00:53:46.61
and give his life
to God, but he did.
00:53:46.62\00:53:49.79
Amen. And he wrote this hymn.
00:53:49.80\00:53:52.05
"On Christ the Solid Rock."
00:53:52.06\00:53:54.16
Amen, amen.
00:53:54.17\00:53:56.84
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand
00:54:23.51\00:54:29.96
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:54:29.97\00:54:36.85
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:54:36.86\00:54:49.42
My hope is built on nothing less
00:54:49.43\00:54:53.99
Than Jesus' blood
and righteousness.
00:54:54.00\00:55:01.21
I dare not trust
the sweetest frame,
00:55:01.22\00:55:05.59
But wholly trust in Jesus' name.
00:55:05.60\00:55:11.74
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand
00:55:11.75\00:55:15.36
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:55:15.37\00:55:21.06
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:55:21.07\00:55:33.09
When darkness seems
to hide His lovely face,
00:55:33.10\00:55:37.43
I rest on His unchanging grace.
00:55:37.44\00:55:44.64
In every high and stormy gale,
00:55:44.65\00:55:48.96
My anchor holds within the veil.
00:55:48.97\00:55:54.45
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand
00:55:54.46\00:55:58.68
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:55:58.69\00:56:04.42
All other
ground is sinking sand,
00:56:04.43\00:56:10.82
His oath, His
covenant, His blood,
00:56:14.40\00:56:16.94
Support me in
the whelming flood.
00:56:16.95\00:56:20.07
When all around
my soul gives way,
00:56:20.08\00:56:22.89
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
00:56:22.90\00:56:30.69
When He shall come
with trumpet sound,
00:56:30.70\00:56:36.91
O may I then in Him be found.
00:56:36.92\00:56:42.88
Dressed in His
righteousness alone,
00:56:42.89\00:56:48.79
Faultless to
stand before the throne.
00:56:48.80\00:56:57.34
Rock I stand. All
other ground is sinking sand.
00:56:57.35\00:57:04.30
All other
ground is sinking sand.
00:57:04.31\00:57:10.09
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand
00:57:10.10\00:57:14.80
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand
00:57:14.81\00:57:18.88
All other
ground is sinking sand.
00:57:18.89\00:57:24.60
On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand.
00:57:24.61\00:57:40.25
