HAPPY & HOLY

Those that look to be happy must first look to be holy. --- William Gurnall

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous...whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected (I John 2:1,5).

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: Gracious Spirit, Dwell With Me (Thomas T. Lynch, 1855).

HAPPY

Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice

On thee, my Savior and my God!

Well may this glowing heart rejoice,

And tell its raptures all abroad.

But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first-fruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Thessalonians 2:13-14).

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle to the glory of God: O Happy Day, That Fixed My Choice (Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751).
