While we were studying relatively small and unassuming space rocks this week Astronomers were being wowed by the discovery of the largest known structure in the universe now dubbed the “Huge Large Quasar Group.” It’s so big that scientists say according to the Cosmological Principle it shouldn’t even exist. This particular cluster of 73 Quasars is some 4 billion light years across. Compare that to the distance from our galaxy, The Milky Way, to our nearest neighbor, The Andromeda Galaxy, which is a mere 2.5 million light years away. Gives us even more reason to sing the following hymn with gusto!

Hymn of the Week: “O Worship the King” (Robert Grant)

O Worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder clouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.

This week’s memory verse: L is for…

“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?
He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name,
by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power
not one is missing.” Isaiah 40:26

Hymn of the Week: When Morning Gilds the Skies (Caswall/Barnby)

When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear, when this sweet chant they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Sing, suns and stars of space, Sing ye that see His face,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

J is for…

This week’s memory verse: J is for…

Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children.”
-Matthew 11:25

A special Thanksgiving Hymn: “Still, My Soul Be Still” (Getty)

This is a newer hymn by the authors of “In Christ Alone” and might be unfamiliar so I wanted everyone to hear the beautiful tune. The lyrics are included in the video so I won’t be typing them out. Given the current state of things in our country, it’s even more crucial for us to take time to be still before our God and to be thankful that He is ruler over all things, Lord of heaven and earth. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
