28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day. 29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

     30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal, 31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings. 32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. 34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.(KJV)

1. O Holy Spirit, grant us grace 
That we our Lord and Savior 
In faith and fervent love embrace 
And truly serve Him ever, 
So that when death is drawing nigh, 
We to His open wounds may fly 
And find in them salvation. 

2. Help us that we Thy saving Word 
In faithful hearts may treasure; 
Let e’er that Bread of Life afford 
New grace in richest measure. 
Yea, let us die to every sin, 
For heaven create us new within 
That fruits of faith may flourish. 

3. And when our earthly race is run, 
Death’s bitter hour impending, 
Then may Thy work in us begun 
Continue till life’s ending, 
Until we gladly may commend 
Our souls into our Savior’s hand 
To rest in peace eternal.
