15. The Coming Great Tribulation
Daniel 12 (KJV)
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Revival Hymns and Choruses
The choice hymnal for many Bible-Presbyterian (B-P) churches and even some non-B-P Churches in Singapore has been and still is the Revival Hymns and Choruses (RHC) compiled by Rev. Dr. Tow Siang Hwa, our Pastor Advisor.
This hymnal is recommended for continued use in our church for both corporate worship and family and personal devotions. There are 567 hymns in the index with a rich collection of old English and other great hymns. One distinct feature of this hymnal is the compilation of choruses sung during Dr. John Sung’s revival of 1935, the Chinese root of the Bible-Presbyterian Church in Singapore. This is unique to the RHC. The spiritual richness of these choruses captured the spirit of that revival.
