Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
Let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy

20. Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
#27, verse 4
Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward,
In the triumph song of life.
21. For everyone who has been born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory
that has overcome the world—our faith. Who
is it that overcomes the world except the one
who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:4-5, CB NT p. 424)
22. No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. For I am
sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
rulers, nor things present nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:37-39, CB NT p. 276)
23. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my
beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in
vain.
