Canticle of the MOST HIGH and His Anointed
24th of Ethanim, 181 JE
KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, KING OF PEACE
In days of kings and clashing hosts,
When nations rose and fell,
The vale of Siddim shook with war,
And blood and fire did swell.
Four kings with five arrayed their might,
And men as grass were mown—
But in the tents of Abram dwelt
The call of GOD alone.
They took the son of Abram’s kin,
And spoiled the guilty land;
Yet one escaped and told the friend
Whom GOD had called to stand.
Then Abram girt his servants true,
Three hundred eighteen brave,
And in the night he overthrew
The kings none else could save.
Behold! The LORD Most High gave strength—
Not bow, nor sword, but hand.
The captives freed, the spoil restored,
And peace returned to land.
Then came a king from Salem’s gate,
With bread and wine in hand:
Melchizedek, the righteous priest,
By GOD Most High did stand.
He blessèd Abram in the Name
Of EL ELYON above—
The GOD Possessour of the earth,
Whose covenant is love.
And Abram gave a tenth of all,
For holy was the place;
And thus he honored Him who reigns
And worshipped face to face.
O mystery deep! For lo, that priest
Was king of peace and right—
A shadow of the SON to come,
Who standeth in GOD’s light.
No mother’s name, nor father known,
No lineage of men—
But like the SON of GOD he stands,
A priest forever then.
So blessèd be EL ELYON’S Name,
The LORD of hosts on high;
Who calls the servant from afar,
And heeds the captive’s cry.
And blessèd be the KING OF PEACE,
Who bears the priestly rod—
The risen SON, enthroned above,
The very Word of GOD.
Fear not, O seed of Abraham,
Ye children of his grace;
For I am with thee, saith the LORD,
Thy refuge and thy place.
I will uphold thee by My hand,
Thy foes shall melt away;
For I, JEHOVAH, am thy GOD—
Thy light, thy shield, thy stay.
Crown Him KING
15th of Ethanim, 181 JE
Verse 1
Soon appeared the small, white sign,
The great cloud where MESSIAH would shine.
With unseen majesty He came,
His eyes a fierce and holy flame.
No crown of thorns, but glory bright,
His face as the noon-day sun in light;
And on His robe, a name confessed:
“KING OF Kings, and LORD of Lords” is blessed.
Verse 2
The earth did tremble at His word,
The heavens rolled, a scroll unheard.
Mountains moved, the wicked cried,
To the dark rocks for strength to hide.
Those who scorned the saints’ true way,
Now saw the glory of that day!
They watched the faithful, standing tall,
While plagues consumed the false shepherds all.
Verse 3
Then hark! A sound, the voice of GOD,
That shakes the grave, beneath the sod!
The sleeping saints rise from the dust,
Clothed now in immortal trust.
“O death, where is thy sting?” they cry,
As living changed are caught on high!
We meet our Lord, no more to part,
With long, transporting shout of victory in heart.
Verse 4
The cloudy chariot rolls and cries,
“Holy!” sing the wings and wheels in skies.
The angels chant, the saints proclaim,
Glory and Alleluia to His name.
In perfect square the host is found,
With JESUS’ love and light profound.
He lifts the gate on glittering hinge,
And bids the saved His rest enjoy within.
Verse 5
He calls the crowns, presents the harps,
Dispelling all the sorrows’ sharps.
We cast our glittering crowns at feet,
And touch the strings with music sweet.
He speaks, His voice like purest tone:
“I behold the travail of my soul,” is shown.
We eat the fruit, the leaves for grace,
And fill all heaven with songs to the LAMB’S face.
Faith as the Stars
New Moon of Bul, 181 JE
JEHOVAH spoke to Abram, in visions bright and clear,
“Fear not, my child, for I am thy shield, thy reward so near.”
From Ur’s ancient sands, to lands of promise vast,
Thy seed shall be as the stars, eternal, steadfast.
Chorus
Faith as the stars, shining in the night,
Righteousness given by JEHOVAH’s light.
Bound by His promise, sealed in love divine,
Forever faithful, forever mine.
Abram, in humble trust, looked up to heaven’s height,
Countless are thy descendants, as stars in endless night.
“By faith,” he believed, and righteousness was his,
JEHOVAH’s covenant, sealed in eternal bliss.
Chorus
GOD’S covenant is sure, His promise ever true,
From Egypt’s river to Euphrates, His land for you.
A land of promise, guarded by His fiery flame,
In His eternal covenant, we praise His holy Name.
Chorus
In darkness and in sleep, His will we trust and see,
His Word a lamp to guide us, from bondage to liberty.
Long-suffering and mercy, His patience shall endure,
His love will gather all, forever pure and sure.
Chorus
From everlasting to the end of days,
His faithfulness shall never fade away.
In Zion’s joy, His grace shall reign,
His love forever, free from stain.
JEHOVAH, our refuge, forever we shall sing,
In His everlasting covenant, our hearts take wing.
Faith as the stars, shining bright above,
Blessed be JEHOVAH, our everlasting love.
Hark! The Fourth Angel Crying
The Mysterious Fourth Angel’s Glory, III
Verse 1
Hark! the fourth angel crying
O’er the earth with glory bright;
All GOD’S truths therein are lying,
Hidden from the world’s dim light.
‘Tis the Sabbath proclamation,
Final message of His grace,
Messiah’s full salvation,
For a fallen, ransomed race.
Verse 2
See the Cross! a veil is rending,
Not the death that men behold;
‘Tis on CHRIST our sins descending,
Myst’ries more than can be told.
There the cup of wrath He drained,
There for us He felt the rod;
By His grief our joy He gained,
Sinner, by His wounds made whole.
Verse 3
In His Person, lo! we suffer’d,
In His death, our death we died;
By His grace our souls are offer’d
Full and free, and justified.
He hath known our every trial,
Conquer’d every sin and snare;
Lived our life without denial,
We are perfect in Him there.
Verse 4
Cast thy soul on this sure promise,
Cease from thine own works to strive;
He hath finish’d, He hath won us,
In His righteousness we live.
O the glory, deep and wondrous,
Of this final gospel call!
To the Rock that cannot sunder,
Come, O sinner, one and all!
Amen, Amen.
The Life of Prayer
13th of Ethanim, 181 JE
We seek a revival in the soul, a Godliness sincere
The greatest, most urgent of all our needs, to banish doubt and fear
Not outward change alone will hold, for that desire must start
Within an unceasing life with GOD, a fire in the heart
The strength we seek, the purity true, the life we must attain
It’s etched within the counsel true, for us to understand
(Chorus)
O the life of prayer, the unbroken union
Every single breath, a sweet communion
Inhaling His grace, message is sent
Exhaling our service, our spirit is bent
It’s not just “Amen,” it’s a constant design
The life of prayer is the strength that is mine
The joy of JEHOVAH, your strength it is true
In unceasing surrender, He lives in and through you
To pray without ceasing is the call
From Thessalonians said
A way of life, not merely words before the day is dead
Some of it is listening for CHRIST’S soft voice inside
Some of it is setting Him before us where we will abide
Diligent we must be, let nothing hinder the flow
From GOD’S life to ours, then back in purity and in glow
The recipe is simple, it can be simmered down and clear
Joyfully serving JEHOVAH while looking and listening near
A sprinkling of praise, petition, and thanks in everything we do
For in every moment we live in pride, or we live in prayer, it’s true
We’re not our own, our temple belongs to the Spirit and His might
So let no Google search or website break the bond of light
This life is a sacrifice, a dedication of our time
Giving up the self-will, to reach a higher clime
More desires will draw us away
To the things that turn and stray
But we must endure the temptation, and surrender all the way
Not by our own might can the heart be changed
We simply choose His will
And that choice will ally us with power on Calvary’s hill
(Chorus)
O the life of prayer, the unbroken union
Every single breath, a sweet communion
Inhaling His grace, message is sent
Exhaling our service, our spirit is bent
It’s not just “Amen,” it’s a constant design
The life of prayer is the strength that is mine
The joy of JEHOVAH, your strength it is true
In unceasing surrender, He lives in and through you
In everything give thanks and claim His promises divine
Blessing and interceding, letting CHRIST’S character shine
Let your thoughts run in heavenly channels, dwell on the Lamb
Behold Him and be changed, this is His glorious plan
A life of prayer, a life of faith
Surrender everyday
Lift up the Man of Calvary
And walk the way.
Lift Your Eyes
22nd of Ethanim, 181 JE
Come, ye saints, lift your eyes,
Behold the glory from the skies,
The LAMB upon His throne is crowned,
His mercy and His grace abound.
He brought us out of bondage deep,
His commandments ours to keep,
Though sin and sorrow may assail,
His mercy still shall prevail.
The Mother’s cry, the widow’s plea,
GOD’S covenant shall set us free,
Among the nations scattered wide,
His truth and love abide.
We watch and wait for Jerusalem,
The kingdom prepared for them,
The Tree of Life, forever sweet,
Where joy and healing meet.
The SON OF GOD, with crowns above,
Offers His eternal love,
Palms of victory in His hand,
To all who in Him stand.
He calls the dead from silent graves,
Their souls to Him He gently saves,
On Mount Zion’s holy height,
We’ll meet in robes of purest white.
O LORD, our hearts with praise overflow,
For all the wonders Thou dost show,
Thy grace shall never cease,
And in Thy presence, dwells our peace.
HalleluJAH, praise the LORD,
His mercy and His truth afford,
Lift your voices, sing His Name,
Forevermore His love proclaim!
Out of Weakness
28th of Ethanim, 181 JE
The Sabbath Proclaimed More Fully
Out of weakness strength did rise,
By the searching of His Word;
Truth arose before our eyes,
Seal of ELOHIM discerned.
First but little was the light,
Cold the dawn upon the land;
Yet it waxed in holy might,
Led by EL’s almighty Hand.
O the Light from Heaven arising,
Healing power in every ray;
Seal of ELOAH now revealing
MESSIAH, Righteousness displayed.
From the east His glory shineth,
Never fading, never set;
Truth eternal still increaseth,
Brighter yet.
As the sun He keepeth course,
Sending warmth and holy flame;
Not by might, nor human force,
But by ELOHIM’s mighty Name.
Once but dimly was it known,
Now with weight and splendour crowned;
Last revealed, yet chief alone,
Where the faithful seal is found.
From our works we cease and rest,
Sabbath sign of holiness;
Not of fleshly ease possessed,
But of covenant righteousness.
He Who rested yet doth breathe
Life upon the waiting soul;
From His Presence blessings flow,
Making broken spirits whole.
When the times of fresh’ning come
From the Presence of the LORD,
Hearts are seal’d and made as one
By the SPIRIT and the Word.
Then the Sabbath stands made plain,
Proclaim’d with power from above;
For the Seal is set again
By the MESSIAH’S truth and love.
O the Light from Heaven arising,
Healing power in every ray;
Seal of ELOAH now revealing
MESSIAH, Righteousness displayed.
Till immortal we be made,
Till all sin is done away,
We abide beneath His shade,
Resting in His holy Day.
Pray Without Ceasing
13th of Ethanim, 181 JE
A revival is the urgent need we face,
And true Godliness must hold the foremost place.
The life of prayer is where its strength resides,
The zeal we seek, where true piety abides.
For outward forms will not be desired nor hold,
Unless this unbroken communion makes us bold.
This is the life of soul, the very vital art,
To plead with GOD until it’s fixed within the heart.
This prayer is not just words that end in ‘Amen,’
It is the whole of life, again and again.
“Pray without ceasing,” the Scriptures command,
The unbroken union in this mortal land.
As breath flows in, we draw His life and light,
And from our soul, send holiness and service pure and bright.
Inhaling life eternal, the messages He sends,
Exhaling worship back to GOD, for all the grace He lends.
The strength we seek is found in joy, we know,
For the joy of Jehovah makes our spirit glow.
To serve with gladness, through toil and trial’s cost,
No burden here, no moment ever lost.
Serving the self is a continual burden’s shame,
But satisfaction is found within His Name.
Since all that matters is to do His will alone,
His well-pleasing service is what we make our own.
In every moment, we must choose to stand,
Between the grip of pride and the praying hand.
For if not serving GOD, we’re serving self alone,
Where humble praise is turned and placed upon our own.
Without asking GOD, we proudly depend on our might,
But prayer brings cheerful obedience to the light.
Where pride is present, complaining will be found,
But where there is prayer, only thankfulness is crowned.
This life of prayer is also a great sacrifice,
Giving up our own time and desires at any price.
Our natural cravings, our lusts, will draw us from The Way,
Seeking false pleasure that can never truly stay.
To endure temptation means to suffer and abide,
Like the MESSIAH did, when He was tried and crucified.
The desires that tempt us, the longings of the heart,
Must be surrendered to the MESSIAH, setting life apart.
The yielding of self is the hardest battle won,
But we can choose to serve Him, following GOD’S SON.
In constant yielding, a change will be complete,
And we will walk in purity with consecrated feet.
A life of faith and service, more precious than all gold,
A freedom on its wings, a story to be told.
This is the true force, the choice the Spirit brings,
A constant surrender on its consecrated wings.
Let your mind rest on Calvary, where love was clearly shown,
And by beholding JEHOSHUA, make His character your own.
For life is service, begun and practiced every hour,
A joyful, tireless giving, beneath His mighty power.
A life of prayer is strength, and peace untold,
The great and glorious work, majestic, brave, and bold.
The Rhythm of Grace
17th of Ethanim, 181 JE
From the start, the cosmic clock was set, a promise whispered,
Before a nation, before a name, a calendar delivered.
On the Fourth Day, the lights appeared, to rule the vault above,
But more than sun and starlit night, an echo of GOD’S love.
The ancient tongue holds the key, a word that few discern,
Not merely “seasons” of the year, but a lesson we must learn.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Mo’edim, the appointed times,
Woven in the loom of the cosmic rhymes.
From Genesis 1:14, the divine decree,
A celestial clock for humanity.
The Rhythm of Grace beats from the very start,
A sacred schedule written on the universe’s heart.
The word is Mo’edim, a meeting set, a fixed and holy date,
The sun and moon, their endless dance, determine when we wait.
The silver crescent marks the month, the harvest sets the spring,
They chart the path from Egypt’s chains to the redemption it will bring.
The chapters of Leviticus, they list them one by one,
The holy convocations that began before the run.
Oh, the Mo’edim, the appointed times,
Woven in the loom of the cosmic rhymes.
From Genesis 1:14, the divine decree,
A celestial clock for humanity.
The Rhythm of Grace beats from the very start,
A sacred schedule written on the universe’s heart.
It’s more than just remembering a thing that’s in the past,
It’s GOD’S appointment book that’s built to eternally last.
The Feast of Booths and Passover, the day of Atonement deep,
The lights that spin above the earth are covenants we keep.
He etched His story in the stars, a witness in the sky,
The fixed occasions of the LORD, for us to sanctify.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Mo’edim, the appointed times,
Woven in the loom of the cosmic rhymes.
From Genesis 1:14, the divine decree,
A celestial clock for humanity.
The Rhythm of Grace beats from the very start,
A sacred schedule written on the universe’s heart.
The Mo’edim… the Rhythm of Grace…
From Creation’s beginning, in time and space.
Royal Priesthood, Holy Nation
7th of Ethanim, 181 JE
Called out from darkness into His marvelous light,
A chosen generation, shining bright,
A royal priesthood set apart,
To serve the nations with love in heart.
Tassels of blue upon our garments gleam,
Symbols of priestly dignity, a royal theme,
To lead the world in righteousness and grace,
And lift His praise in every place.
We bear our covenant, with humble hearts,
To carry His love to all of earth’s parts,
To serve, to love, to heal, to restore,
Till earth His forevermore.
In every city, across each land,
We build memorials with our hands,
A sign of Sabbath, sign of grace,
A beacon of hope in every place.
Our mission clear, our calling high,
To lift the fallen, heal the sick,
To feed the hungry, clothe the poor,
Reflect His love forevermore.
Priests to mediate, kings to reign,
In righteousness we stand again,
Building His kingdom with active hands,
Fulfilling divine commands.
Every act of kindness, every word of truth,
A testament to His everlasting booth,
Reflecting the MESSIAH’s pure, holy light,
Bringing darkness into sight.
Lift your voice in sacred praise,
Proclaim His kingdom all your days,
Royal priests, His chosen race,
Shining forth His saving grace.
Till earth is made His holy place,
His righteousness and love embrace,
We are His royal priesthood,
A holy nation, redeemed and true.
The Royal Thread of Blue
If you will hearken to My voice, indeed,
And keep the covenant which you have decreed,
Then you shall be My treasure, a peculiar prize,
For all the earth is Mine before Mine eyes.
A Kingdom of priests, a nation set apart,
To bear My holy law upon the heart.
Ye are a chosen generation, royal, holy, true,
Called out of darkness into marvelous light, in you.
No people once, but now the people of our GOD,
Who have obtained mercy where once the lost had trod.
As strangers, pilgrims, from the flesh refrain,
Let your good works among the nations reign,
That seeing your beauty, they may glorify the Lord,
And find the King whose righteousness is poured.
The tassel on the border, a thread of azure hue,
To bid you look, remember, and all My precepts do.
To turn not to the eyes, nor after your own heart,
But be holy to your GOD, set fully apart.
For royalty it spoke, a sign for all to see,
That every soul was elevated unto Me.
A royal priesthood set, a light to minister,
But when the blue was lost, the holy life did blur.
Now the Messianic seed, we wear the blue once more,
To be ambassadors of grace and open wide the door.
The Kingdom now is internal, the reign within,
By the MESSIAH’S righteousness, triumphant over sin.
But at the Day of Covering, the wedding takes its start,
And the FATHER’S shared domain is given to the SON’S own heart.
The twelve tribes gather, a voice for all the earth,
Proclaiming covenant’s power, the Kingdom’s sudden birth.
We wear the sign of nobility, knowing we are here,
To minister the gospel, and make the truth appear.
To plant the Sabbath memorial, a banner wide and strong,
To every city, village, where lost souls still belong.
The Sabbath is My seal, the sign that I create,
A place of holy rest, where we inaugurate
A royal fellowship table, a throne where grace is found,
Where righteousness is poured out and reigning power is crowned.
So wear your blue each day, for all you do and say,
Must point to the Kingdom, to the Truth, the Way.
To seek His righteousness before all earthly gain,
For this is peace and joy, where the Holy Spirit reigns.
We claim this earth’s territory, from darkness we reclaim,
A people awakened, in the GREAT KING’S holy Name.
Let our prayers be a warfare, our hands bring help and ease,
Until the world is flooded by the gospel’s perfect peace.
Behold your GOD! The King’s reward is here,
His light of glory shining, and making all things clear.
The Unseen City’s Call
18th of Ethanim, 181 JE
The Unseen City’s Call
From the old land, from the father’s house, we hear the voice,
“Lekh Lekha!” The path revealed by sovereign choice.
No chart, no compass, just a promise on the air,
For faith must move beyond the safety of what’s there.
Though fear may strike, and reason plead for Egypt’s shore,
We build the altar, trust the Word, and ask no more.
Refrain:
O, the Covenant stands fast, by GOD’S own will decreed,
Secure in grace, fulfilled in the MESSIAH, the promised Seed.
Our help is found not in the flesh, but in His might,
We walk by faith toward the City of eternal light.
When famine tests the path and worldly waters shine,
We stoop to lies and trade the holy for the swine.
Like Abram’s fear that sought the comfort of the Nile,
We fail the test of trust and walk in sin awhile.
Yet God in power smites the king and keeps His oath;
The promise rests on Him alone, in truth and both.
Refrain
When strife arose for land, and Lot chose Sodom’s wealth,
Abram stood free, released from care for temporal health.
He saw the Plain as fleeting dust, though fair and wide,
His eyes were fixed upon a hope that God supplied.
The faith of elders, proof of things we cannot see,
Gives substance to the City built for you and me.
Refrain
The centuries move on, the battles must be fought,
And Joshua’s challenge now to every soul is brought:
“Put away the gods! Choose you this day whom you will serve!”
That all the families of the earth the blessing may observe.
For we are called to shine the light, the covenant to share,
Until we reach the City that has foundations rare.
