  The earth and the fullness with which it is stored, The world and its dwellers belong to the Lord; For He on the seas its foundations has laid, And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed. What man shall the hill of Jehovah ascend, And who in the place of His presence attend? The man of pure heart and of hands without stain, Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain. That man ever blest of Jehovah shall live, The God of salvation shall righteousness give; For this is the people, yea, this is the race, The Israel true that is seeking His face.

  Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

Jonah 1:2

• [Jon 1:2] Jonah

  God spoke to Jonah and gave him command: “Go east to Nineveh and tell them My plan.” Jonah objected and fled from the Lord; Soon found a ship headed west, went on board. Then God sent forth a tempest; upon the ship it beat. Each man cried to his own god, but Jonah fell asleep. The sailors came and woke him, his business did demand. He said, “My God’s the Lord of Heav’n, who made the sea and land.” The sea grew rougher, till Jonah did cry, “It’s all my fault, cast me down, let me die!” They tried to row back but could not prevail; Threw Jonah over; the waves then grew still. Then God sent forth a great fish; it swallowed him alive. For three days from its stomach, he prayed to God on high. He gave up worthless idols; with thanks he spoke this word: “What I have vowed I will make good; salvation’s from the Lord.” God told the fish to spit Jonah back out; Then said to Jonah, “To Nineveh set out.” Jonah obeyed and proclaimed all God’s word: “Forty more days, then you’ll all be destroyed!” The people all believed God; they fasted and they prayed. In sackcloth they repented, gave up their evil ways. When God saw their repentance, he felt compassion great. He turned from his fierce anger and did not fulfill his threat. Jonah was angry that God would forgive; Said, “Lord, please kill me, I don’t want to live.” Then he went outside the city to see what God would do, what the outcome would be. God sent a vine to shade him, but then he sent a worm. The vine did quickly wither; the wind and sun did burn. In anger Jonah cried out; he thought his life should end. God said, “You cared about the vine; should I not care for men?” Lord, when a mission you give unto me, may I obey You and not try to flee. You are so gracious, compassionate e’er, slow to get angry, abounding in care. May I proclaim Your message to those who need to hear, So that they will not perish, nor judgment from You fear. May I not value comfort, nor fault You for Your grace. Give me your heart for all the lost, until I see Your face.

• [Jon 1:2] Jonah And The Whale

  In the Bible we are told Of a prophet who was called To a city that was steeped in awful sin; All the people in that place Were devoid of saving grace, And the prophet seemed afraid to enter in. Refrain Over there, over there, In that land bright and fair, Oh, he’ll tell me all about it over there; On the hallelujah strand I’ll take Jonah by the hand, And he’ll tell me all about it over there. Then this prophet forth was sent That old Nineveh might repent, But instead of that to Tarshish he set sail; Oh! the winds began to blow, Overboard did Jonah go, And he found a mercy seat inside the whale. Refrain In the cold and briny deep Tears of grief did Jonah weep, And the big fish threw him out upon the shore; Then he gladly went his way, Preached to Nineveh night and day, And he did not care to backslide any more. Refrain Oh, some people don’t believe That a whale could him receive. But that does not make my song at all untrue; There are whales on every side, With their big mouths open wide— Just take care, my friend, or one will swallow you. Refrain Many souls are tossed about By the whales of fear and doubt, But the Savior wants to take them by the hand. If they will His voice obey, He will save them right away, And will guide them safely to the promised land. Refrain
