John 16:1–4 (Listen)
16:1 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

Hymn: TLH 616, st. 1,6,7,8 :
Forever with the Lord
1. “Forever with the Lord!”
Amen! so let it be,
Life from the dead is in that word,
‘Tis immortality.
6. Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail.
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight Thou, and I’ll prevail.
7. So when my dying breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death
And life eternal gain.
8. Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word
And oft repeat before the throne,
“Forever with the Lord!”
