daily reading 49.1 (Philippians 2:12–13)
5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024
Our opening prayer for this week:
The advent of our King
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.
The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant’s form puts on
To set His servants free.
O Zion’s Daughter, rise
To meet your lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
As Judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again
And His true members all unite
With Him in heaven to reign.
Before the dawning day
Let sin’s dark deeds be gone,
The sinful self be put away,
The new self all put on.
All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity. Amen.
Philippians 2:12–13
- Therefore, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, so now, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
- 13 For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to his good purpose.
