Responsive Scripture Reading

1 Peter 1:1-9

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2a Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

2b Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

3a Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

3b which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7a That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,

7b though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

A mighty fortress is our God,A bulwark never failing;

On earth is not his equal.1st Stanza continued

Should threaten to undo us,3rd Stanza continued

We will not fear, for God hath willed

One little word shall fell him.3rd Stanza continued

Last Stanza

No thanks to them abideth;Last Stanza continued

O Sacred Head,Now Wounded

受难歌Hymn 188

1st Stanza

O sacred Head, now wounded,With grief and shame Weighed down,至圣之主受重创，希世痛苦难当，


Now scornfully surroundedWith thorns Thy only crown,遍壓荆冠皆耻辱，讥评，嬚怨，忧伤，


How art Thou pale with anguish,With sore abuse and scorn!仰瞻慈容何惨谈？想见满怀凄惨！


How does that visage languishWhich once was bright as morn!此刻愁云掩圣範，当年基督辉光。

Mine, mine was the transgression,But Thine the deadly pain.袮受創痛至死亡，是因我的罪愆 ;


Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!’Tis I deserve Thy place;思念苦心我当受，俯伏我主脚边；


Look on me with Thy favour,Vouch-safe to me Thy grace.恳求继续赐恩典，愿常瞻仰圣颜。

What language shall I borrowTo thank Thee, dearest Friend,我用何词作谢颂，如斯恩谊豐隆，

For this Thy dying sorrow,Thy pity without end?成仁临难之悲哀，无量慈怜恩宠，


O make me Thine forever!And, should I fainting be,恳求收我为弟子，忠爱永不变更！


Lord, let me never, neverOut-live my love to Thee!千万千万莫容我离开主爱偸生。
