Sabbath

Because September is Classical Music Month, I’ve decided to make more of a dedicated effort to include it in my days throughout this month. Classical music is one of those life-giving gifts that I find can be neglected far too often. It has numerous benefits for our well-being, and beyond that, it is a beautiful creative reflection of the beauty of God as Creator.

The Baroque period is my favorite, and because so much of the music from this era was specifically written for the church, it seems perfect to make it a Sunday companion.

I hope this music will give you a space to sit back, breathe deeply and rest.

Sabbath

What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence? That our souls to him belong.
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good,
God is good.
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
