God’s Family Hymnal 4:22
【The Father’s and the Lord‘s personal love to me】
1 Abba’s personal love to me,
Ages ago till eternity.
He wants me to be His dear child,
Loved me even as He loved His Son,
To be the nearest and the closest with Him,
Inherits all things and enters into glory.
2 The Lord’s personal love to me,
Ages ago till eternity.
He wants me to be His darling love.
Deeply in love with Him,
Shares with Him all things,
United with His heart and dwelled in the River of love.
【Genesis 47:7, 10, 27-31】
7 Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
27 Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.
29 And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,
30 but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place." He answered, "I will do as you have said."
31 And he said, "Swear to me"; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.
