L-1 Thank you. Let's remain standing just a moment for prayer, if you will. Shall we bow our heads while we pray?
Dear God, we are grateful to Thee, indeed, for this grand privilege of assembling ourselves together and worshipping Thee. And we would ask Your blessings to continue, Lord, upon this service tonight. And we pray that the Holy Spirit will take It's position at every seat and every aisle, and may men and women become conscious of His Presence. And if there be sin in our midst, Lord, forgive us. And if there's sickness, heal us. And get glory out of the service, Lord. And now, when we read Thy Word, we pray that You'll bless Your Word, and may we have fellowship around the Word. For we ask it in the Name of Thy Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen. You may be seated.

L-2 I just come a little early, tonight, and was sitting back there on one of the--the benches, when I heard that good old fashion singing, and the choir, and the--the music. My, I thought maybe the millennium was about ready to start. That sounded real good. If anything I like is good singing. And I wished... I always thought I'd like for the Lord to give me voice to sing. I--I just can't hardly make a joyful noise. So but...
If you want an appointment with me, as soon as life is over, and it's all finished, there's a... Where the river of Life comes out from under the Throne, and comes down, this way, and goes around the mountain of--of salvation, and there--where the trees are on either side of the mountain; over on that side, there's a choir sings. All the great voices sing over there. There'll be Sankey, and all of them over there singing.
And over on this other side, there's this little tree; I'll be setting under that tree listening. So now... That's where I want to be to hear that great, Angelic choir join in with the mortals. But you know, I was thinking, that the Angels, when Jesus comes... And one singing I want to be at, the great singing, is to hear the times that when we stand upon this earth and sing the songs of redemption.
Angels will stand just out--off the earth with bowed heads, not knowing what we're singing about. They never had to be redeemed. We are the ones will be rejoicing. We were the ones that were lost, and now we're found. And we'll sing the redemption stories, when they won't even understand it. They'll just stand with bowed heads, and listen to us sing. Won't that be a wonderful time? Oh, I long to see that.

L-3 I love good singing, but it's one thing I don't like is an over-trained voice, over-trained, one that holds their breath just so long, till they get blue in the face. You know, they're not singing to the Lord, they're just trying to see how long they can hold their breath.
There's nothing any prettier than old fashion pentecostal singing, with the glory of God in the meeting. That's real joy to my heart, and I was so glad to refresh myself in the presence of that good singing tonight. The Lord bless you, and keep that up.

L-4 Last night, I thought I'd kindly choked you out a little bit, by being just a little long, and we are... Our program drop--drawed out. I met the chairman just now, a brother, and He said, "No, Brother Branham, that was all right; we don't close our church till ten o'clock." He maybe, oughtn't to have said that to me. But I'll try to hurry right through tonight, being a night... evangelistic night, and tomorrow, why... And tomorrow night, we go right into the preaching and prayer for the sick again.
Now, tonight, I want to speak from a text out of the Scripture. And I just love to read the Word. Don't you love the Word? How many Bible readers are here, just raise your hands, real high? Oh, that's fine.
