SECTION A: THE GOLDEN BOWL

Hymn No. 1:

What a Rod we have believed

Origin: DSDA West Indies Division

Rod Quotation: 1TG27: 7.2-4

Tune: New

♦-1-♦
What a Rod we have believed!
Nineteen twenty-nine it came,
By the Savior it’s appointed,
To return the captives home;
It’s a good uniting message,
Makes us loving to become,
Since we know the truth for this age;
Bless, O bless His Holy Name.

♦-2-♦
What a Rod we have believed!
In year nineteen forty-three,
Davidians we were so named,
For in the Kingdom we’ll be;
It’s a really searching message,
Urging us to get reformed,
Though the devil we will enrage,
Woe to him for he is doomed!

♦-3-♦
What a Rod we have believed!
In year nineteen fifty-four,
It was finally completed,
And it will all things restore;
The chariot went back to heaven,
Satan who saw it revealed,
Sought to divert all God’s Children,
From the prophecies unsealed.

♦-4-♦
What a Rod we have believed!
In year nineteen fifty-nine,
Satan who was discontented,
Attempted a blow that time;
But the Lord kept the Rod thriving,
Keeping safe this precious gem,
Though false doctrines keep on coming,
Praise to God we’re safe from them.

♦-5-♦
What a Rod we have believed!
Tells us to expect a man,
Who by Christ will be appointed,
Prior to His soon return;
Let’s obey the truth with full joy,
To escape the coming doom,
Soon very soon we will enjoy,
Forever in the Kingdom.

1TG27: 7.2-4 Series page: 578:
The Lord declares that His voice is crying to the city (to the church), and that the men of wisdom shall see the name, and shall hear the Rod and Him Who hath appointed It…. Manifestly, this rod is capable of speaking and of being heard, thus the command “Hear ye the Rod.” So far as we know, the only rod that has ever spoken is “THE SHEPHERD’S ROD.” Moreover, it was not the results of any studious searching of the Bible that the book was so named, the author was not familiar with this scripture, nor did he have any understanding of the book of Micah at the time the title “Shepherd’s Rod” was given to the book…. I for one cannot overlook, neglect, or reject the Lord’s counsel in this matter. I must hear the Rod and Him Who has appointed It if I expect to have a home in His Kingdom. I cannot afford to do otherwise, God helping me, for He Himself declares that if I would know how to come before Him, what offering is acceptable to Him, how to do justly, how to love mercy and how to walk humbly before Him, I must hear the Rod that “crieth unto the city.”
