Morning Endeavors

What does a seminary student do on the day with no classes?

1. You read Luther. Read the previous post. (I love Luther. While I would rather learn theology from Calvin, I would rather hang out and drink beer with Luther.)

2. Sing some awesome songs -

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Alas, A Did My Savior Bleed
When All Thy Mercies

3. Translate Ex. 7:14-25 from Hebrew to English and meditate on it.

When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'’m lost
In wonder, love, and praise
Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From Whom those comforts flowed.

Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'’ll raise
For oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!

When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face
And when in sins and sorrow sunk
Renewed my soul with grace
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.

Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'’ll raise
For oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!

Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.

Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise
For oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!
