A Sinaite’s Musical Liturgy – 1st Sabbath of November

[As former Catholics/Evangelicals/Messianics, we Sinaites have committed many Christian hymns to memory.  We love the music, yet can no longer sing the lyrics . . . so what to do? The next best thing!  Since imitation is the best compliment (that is our excuse anyway), we’ve borrowed the music, rewritten the lyrics according to our current belief system. . . . though for hymns whose original lyrics we are in agreement with, we do not tamper with the message.  Music is a teaching tool—meaningful lyrics are not only sung but remembered, probably more effectively and with lasting impact than a sermon from the pulpit.
For those who wish to use our liturgy for your Sabbath celebration, you are most welcome to it.  If you are not familiar with the original tune, simply recite the words; either way it works.  Have a joy-full Sabbath!–Admin1.]

 [Tune:  Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise/Original Lyrics]

 

1.  Immortal, invisible God only wise;

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes;

most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise!

 

2.  Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light; 

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might:

Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,

Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

 

3.  To all life Thou givest, to both great and small,

In Thee all life livest, the True Life of all.

We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

and wither and perish but naught changeth Thee.

 

4.  Great Father of glory, pure Father of Light!

Thy angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight:

All praise we would render:  O help us to see,

T’is only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

[Original Tune: Crown Him with Many Crowns/REVISED Lyrics]

 

1. Crown Him with many crowns,  

Yahuwah on His throne,

Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns 

all music but its own!

Awake my soul and sing 

of Him Who madeth me,

O hail Him as our matchless King

 through all eternity.

 

2.  Crown Him the LORD of Love,

receive His grace, don’t hide,

Rich blessings are within our reach 

when He is glorified:

All angels in the sky

 bow down before His might,

As downward scans His wandering eye, 

when lives are set aright.  

 

3.  Crown Him the LORD of LIFE,

all hail His gift of Breath,

Let’s dedicate our life unto HIM

between our birth and death,

His glories we now sing, 

our Source of Life on high,

Who promised blessings for all those

who who live His Torah Life.

 

4.  Crown Him the Lord on High 

Who sits upon His Throne,

Whose spoken word created all worlds, 

yet His Name is unknown . . .

To Him be endless praise, 

from every tongue and race,

Yahuwah is the God we serve 

all through our end of days.

 

Psalm 47  (NASB)

[For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.]

God the King of the Earth.

 

47 O clap your hands, all peoples;
Shout to God with the voice of joy.
For the Lord Most High is to be feared,
A great King over all the earth.
He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
He chooses our inheritance for us,
The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

God has ascended with a shout,
The Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a skillful psalm.
God reigns over the nations,
God sits on His holy throne.
The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.

MEDLEY [Original Lyrics]
Sing hallelujah to the LORD;
sing hallelujah to the LORD;
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah,
Sing hallelujah – YAHUWAH!
[” Bread of the World” – Revised Lyrics]

 

We praise the GOD 
of Lovingkindness,
Whose Grace and Mercy overflows,
this wine we drink, this bread we share,
are symbols of His Loving Care.
LORD,  bless our men, LORD,  bless our women,
LORD, bless our children where they are,
May they know You, adore and love You,
For that would bring much joy to our lives.
[Break bread, raise wine glass and make a toast :
“To LIFE!”]

HAVDALAH
[Tune:  Be Still My Soul/REVISED lyrics]

1.  Be still, believer in the One True God, 

bear patiently this darkened world we see . . .

be not surprised at doubts and much resistance, 

for minds have been misled for centuries,

it takes much time to open ears and eyes, 

that have been used to falsities and lies.

 

2.  Be still, believer in the God Who gave 

His revelation once and for all time,

to a mixed multitude who heard His voice, 

His Presence sensed in thunder and in light,

that Revelation is for Jews and Gentiles,

the very first step for unending miles.

 

3.  Be still, believer in the God Who spoke

His words through Moses who preserved them all,

Whose very Fingers etched His Words on stone,

commandments for the sake of humankind,

for good, for peace, for comfort and direction,

to light the path for those who’ve lost their way.

 

4.  Be still, believer in the God of wonders,

Creator, Lord, Provider, Shepherd, King,

so full of grace, of love, of truth and more . . .

Whose mercy and compassion never fails,

witholding justice to repentant sinners,

a patient God Who waits for lives to change.

 

5.  Be still, believer in our God Yahuwah,

call on His Name, declare His Name to all,

from Sinai’s heights, down to the lowest valleys,

Yahuwah’s voice rings loud and clear today,

For earnest seekers with an open mind,

‘forgotten’ Truth is not so hard to find.
