When we were fellowshiping at Arby's after the Jubilee decree last Friday evening, a man came to our table and struck up a conversation. He must have heard us talking about the Dakota. He was a musician who had just performed for a memorial gathering for the Dakota 38 who had been hanged in 1862.
Anyway, he emailed the name of the song that the 38 Dakota had sung just before they were hanged. Recall that all 38 of them became Christian believers in the time that they were incarcerated awaiting their fate. The hymn was first published in a Dakota hymn book in 1916 and translated into English in 1929. The music and words are here:

Many and Great
Many and great, O God, are Thy things,
Maker of earth and sky;
Thy hands have set the heavens with stars;
Thy fingers spread the mountains and plains.
Lo, at Thy Word the waters were formed;
Deep seas obey Thy voice.Grant unto us communion with Thee,
Thou star abiding One;
Come unto us and dwell with us;
With Thee are found the gifts of life,
Bless us with life that has no end,
Eternal life with Thee.
Since last December, the 150th anniversary of the hangings, a new mantra, or slogan, has been adopted. "Forgive Everybody Everything."

Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992. Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
