New Testament:  Romans 2Psalm:  Psalm112Encouraging Story:��Kidneys And The Kindness Of StrangersHymn for the Day:  Who are these like stars appearing 
Translator: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Author: Heinrich Theobald Schenk (1719) 
1 Who are these like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 
2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence come all this glorious band? 
3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 
4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified;
