Jesus, my treasure! and full of longing for you! nothing else that is dearer to me. 2 Es ist nun nichts Verdammliches an denen, die in Christo Jesu sind, die nicht nach dem Fleische wandeln, sondern nach dem Geist. There is now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. 3 Unter deinem Schirmen Laß den Satan wittern, Ob es itzt gleich kracht und blitzt, Beneath your shield Let the devil sniff around, Even though thunder crashes and bin ich vor den Stürmen laß den Feind erbittern, lightning blazes, I am free from the storms let my enemy become incensed, ob gleich Sünd und Hölle schrecken: aller Feinde frei. mir steht Jesus bei. even though sin and hell terrify, of all enemies. Jesus stands by me. Jesus will mich decken. Jesus will protect me. 4 Denn das Gesetz des Geistes, der da lebendig machet in Christo Jesu, hat mich frei gemacht von dem Gesetz der Sünde und des Todes. For the law of the Spirit that made me alive in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. 5 Trotz dem alten Drachen, Tobe, Welt, und springe; Gottes Macht hält mich in acht; Defiance to the old dragon, Rage, world, and attack; The power of God holds me fast; Trotz des Todes Rachen, ich steh hier und singe Erd und Abgrund muss verstummen, defiance to the jaws of death, I stand here and sing earth and abyss must fall silent, Trotz der Furcht darzu! in gar sichrer Ruh. ob sie noch so brummen. defiance to fear as well! in certain and secure peace! however much they might rumble. 6 Ihr aber seid nicht fleischlich, sondern geistlich, so anders Gottes Geist in euch wohnet. You, however, are not controlled by the flesh but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. Wer aber Christi Geist nicht hat, der ist nicht sein. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ, does not belong to him. 7 Weg mit allen Schätzen! Weg ihr eitlen Ehren, Elend, Not, Kreuz, Schmach und Tod Away with all treasures! Away with all vain honors, Suffering, distress, the cross, shame and Du bist mein Ergötzen, ich mag euch nicht hören, death; You are my delight, I choose not to listen to you, soll mich, ob ich viel muss leiden, Jesu, meine Lust ! bleibt mir unbewusst! however much I have to suffer, Jesus, my desire! remain unknown to me! nicht von Jesu scheiden. will never separate me from Jesus. 8 So aber Christus in euch ist, so ist der Leib zwar tot um der Sünde willen; der Geist aber ist das Leben um der Gerechtigkeit willen. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin; but your Spirit is alive because of righteousness. 9 Gute Nacht, o Wesen, Gute Nacht, ihr Sünden, Gute Nacht, du Stolz und Pracht! Good night, existence, Good night, sins, Good night, pride and glory! das die Welt erlesen! bleibet weit dahinten, Dir sei ganz, du Lasterleben, that cherishes the world! stay far away, Once and for all, you life of iniquity, Mir gefällst du nicht. kommt nicht mehr ans Licht! Gute Nacht gegeben. You do not please me. never again come to light! I bid you good night! 10 So nun der Geist des, der Jesum von den Toten auferwecket hat, in euch wohnet, so wird auch derselbige, der Christum von den Toten auferwecket hat, eure sterbliche Leiber lebendig machen um des willen, daß sein Geist in euch wohnet. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you. 11 Weicht, ihr Trauergeister, Denen, die Gott lieben, Duld ich schon hier Spott und Hohn, Vanish, spirits of gloom, For those who love God, Though here I endure scorn and ridicule, denn mein Freudenmeister, muß auch ihr Betrüben dennoch bleibst du auch im Leide, for my master of joy, even their afflictions still, even in suffering, you remain, Jesus, tritt herein. lauter Zucker sein. Jesu, meine Freude. Jesus, steps in. are filled with joy. Jesus, my joy. III. Reflection Selections from “Elijah” Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) G. Schirmer, Inc. ISBN 978-0-7935-4559-9 Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord (Mvt 15) Written in chorale style, this setting of Psalm 55:22, 16:8, 108:5 and 25:3 for SATB quartet is based on the Lutheran Chorale “O Gott, du frommer Gott.” Cast thy burden upon the Lord; And he shall sustain thee. He will never suffer the righteous to fall; For he is at thy right hand. Thy mercy, Lord, is great, and far above the heav’ns. No man who hopes in thee shall e’er be put to shame. He, Watching Over Israel (Mvt 29) A chorus based on Psalm 121:4 and 138:7 featuring a gentle, pastorale character utilizing imitative style and ending with a phrase of unaccompanied harmony. He, watching over Israel, slumbers not, nor sleeps; Shouldst thou, walking in grief, languish, He will quicken thee. He, watching over Israel, slumbers not, nor sleeps. He That Shall Endure (Mvt 32) This chorus is a musical setting based on texts from Matthew 10:22 and 24:13. The majority of the movement is written in a homophonic, chorale style, but occasionally makes use of imitative effects. The Oxford History of Music, Vol .VI makes this observation: “[This] chorus is specially attractive; it contains nothing that resembles or even aims at passion; it is merely a record of a tranquil peaceful mood, truly and beautifully expressed.” He that shall endure to the end, God will save him. Quartet: Regina Lou, Benjamin Roekle, Lauren Stuebs, Noah Ungemach Piano: Kathryn Carlovsky Organ: Craig Hirschmann String Bass: David Urness Timpani: Jordan Massiah IV.

  • Changeless God
    Sermon notes © Andrew Brandon, 2009 CHANGELESS GOD IN A CHANGING WORLD 1. WHERE IS YOUR SECURITY? Horatio and his wife Anna Spafford lived in one of wealthier suburbs of northern Chicago. Horatio was a solicitor with his own practice and lucrative real estate on the shores of Lake Michigan. In the late 1860’s, they moved though life with the effortless grace of the successful. They had five children, Annie, Maggie, Bessie, Tanetta and Horatio jr, and their home was always open to fellow- Christians; Dwight Moody, the famous Chicago evangelist, was a frequent visitor. Unlike so many upwardly mobile people, however, the Stafford’s affluence did not immure them to the injustices of their time. Horatio was involved in several reform movements including abolitionism and the house became the meeting place for social activists. In the 1870’s, the charmed life of the Spafford’s took a downward turn. In 1870 their only son, Horatio jr died of scarlet fever, and a year later in October 1871, the great Chicago fire destroyed all their holdings by Lake Michigan. The fire left them almost destitute but they still managed to share what little they had left with the survivors. Traumatised by the loss of her son and wealth in quick succession, Anna’s health deteriorated. Horatio decided that she and their daughters needed to recuperate from both disasters so arranged a family trip to England to assist Dwight Moody with his evangelistic missions. On the eve of their departure in November, 1873, Horatio was called away on urgent business. He instructed his family to embark on the voyage, promising to follow them as soon as he had concluded matters.

  • It Is Well with My Soul Psalms 146
    PREACHING THROUGH THE HYMNS: It Is Well With My Soul Psalms 146 Words: Horatio Gates Spafford (1828-1888) in 1873 Composed: Phillip Paul Bliss (1838-1876) in 1873 Horatio Gates Spafford Horatio G. Spafford was born in North Troy, New York on October 20, 1828. A Presbyterian layman, he settled in Chicago and established a successful legal practice. Along with his financial success, he always maintained a keen interest in Christian activities. He enjoyed a close and active relationship with D.L. Moody and other evangelical leaders of that era. He was described as a “noted gospel musician and as a man of unusual intelligence and refinement, deeply spiritual and a devoted student of the Scriptures.” Some months prior to the Chicago Fire of 1871, Spafford had invested heavily in real estate on the shore of Lake Michigan, and his holdings were wiped out by this disaster. Desiring a rest for his wife and four daughters as well as wishing to assist Moody in one of his campaigns in Great Britain, Spafford planned a European trip for his family in November of 1873. Due to unexpected last minute business developments, he had to remain in Chicago, but he sent his wife H.G. Spafford and their four daughters Anna, Maggie, Bessie, and Tanetta on as scheduled on the S.S. Ville du Havre. A last minute change in cabin assignments moved them toward the bow of the vessel. He told them “goodbye,” and promised to meet them in France in a few weeks. The French liner, S.S. Ville du Havre, was the most luxurious ship afloat when it sailed from New York.

  • When Durham University Wanted a Proposer for the Motion 'Jesus
    ‘This house believes that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life’ was the motion debated by Durham University’s Students Union. It was loudly announced that the proposer was the president of the Seventh- day Adventist Church in the UK. Other proposers were Oxford philosopher Professor Richard Swinburne and Rt Revd Brian Smith, the Anglican Bishop of Edinburgh. The opposers of the motion were hardly less well- known. There was Dr Stephen Law, author and scholar, Stuart Sim, another published philosopher, and Thomas Bull, a finalist in the world debating championships. To be invited into the company of such luminaries is a symbol of acceptance and great good news – but to be asked to speak on such a subject suggests that someone, somewhere, has heard that Seventh- day Adventists know something about Jesus. It would appear that someone is beginning to hear our voice. The debating hall, within sight and sound of the cathedral, was packed – not with theologians, philosophers and sundry academics, but with a large crowd of young people who had decided that a debate was of greater importance than a Friday night on the town. The talk before the debate began was not whether United will win the league but whether there was ‘any point in a religious experience’, or ‘I’ve always been to church’, and ‘I was an atheist before I became a Christian.’ Solid and encouraging stuff. The debate did not reveal any new approaches in how to persuade people that Jesus really is the Way, the Truth and the Life, nor did the opposition provide truly stunning arguments against our concept of God.
