<TITLE>14. Par 52-56</TITLE>L-52 Let's call a few poets together just a few minutes. We could take poets; we could take prophets; we could take authors. Let's call a few poets just a few minutes. I thing Eddie Perronet's one of my favorite. When he was persecuted... You know his story, the great song writer.
And while in his darkest of persecution, the people said he was a neurotic, he was off in his head. And he's standing... He said, "I was setting in desk one day..." If we could call him up from the grave this morning, and there he was standing there and the tears running down his cheeks, he caught a vision. And God let him write the baccalaureate message and the inauguration of the church, when he grabbed his pen and wrote:
All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
And I see another, "What do you think of Him?" He said:
When I survey the wondrous cross
Whereon the Prince of glory died,
All my fame I count but loss,

L-53 Oh, my, when I think of blind Fanny Crosby, let's call her, see what she thinks of Christ. "You never seen day light in your life, woman, what do you think of Christ?"
Here's what she said:
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?
Hallelujah! Old blind woman.
Another one said:
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever:
Someday He's coming--O glorious day!

L-54 What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? I believe He's the resurrected, immortal Son of God, that's living among us right here this morning. I believe this we feel right now is His Presence. Do you believe it?
What think ye of Christ? You heard the Gospel preached; you've felt His power; you've seen His works. What think ye of Christ? How many of you believe He's the Son of God? Raise your hand. Amen. Let's stand to our feet. Every one stand to your feet and I want the pianist to give us a chord. Let's give Him praise everybody.
I will praise Him, I will praise Him,
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain.
Give Him glory all ye people,
For His... wash away each stain.

L-55 Do you love Him? What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? Let's say together: "He is the Son of the living God." [The congregation repeats after Brother Branham--Ed.] All right. Let's sing now. All right, give us a chord. "I Will Praise Him." How many knows the song? Raise your hand. All right. All right, give us a chord of it if you will brother.
I will praise Him, I will praise Him,
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain.
Give Him glory all ye people,
For His Blood has washed away each stain.
Now let's pick it up and sing it again. Come on now, raise your hands.
I will praise Him, I will praise Him.
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain.
Give Him glory all ye people,
For His Blood has washed away (Keep playing it. Keep playing.).

L-56 Now, let's bow our heads just a moment. I wonder if there's one here this morning that doesn't know Jesus as their Saviour, would say, "Now I believe He is the Son of God. I want to accept Him as my personal Saviour." Would you raise your hand? Say, "Remember me, Brother Branham; I want to accept Christ as my Saviour." Raise your hand.
God bless you, lady. Someone else? Up in the balcony, anywhere, and say, "I'm not a Christian, Brother Branham, but I believe He is the Son of God. Remember me in a word of prayer." Will you do it, while you raise your hands around over the audience?
God bless you, sir. Someone else say, "Remember me, Brother Branham, I believe now and will accept Jesus as my Saviour."
