O Worship the King

O worship the King,

All-glorious above,

And gratefully sing

His power and His love;

Our Shield and Defender,

The Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendor,

And girded with praise.

O tell of His might,

O sing of His grace,

Whose robe is the light,

Whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath

The deep thunderclouds form,

And dark is His path

On the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care,

What tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air,

It shines in the light,

It streams from the hills,

It descends to the plain,

And sweetly distills

In the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust,

And feeble as frail,

In Thee do we trust,

Nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies, how tender!

How firm to the end!

Our Maker, Defender,

Redeemer and Friend!

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the pris’ner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad

The honors of Thy name.

Come, Ye Souls by Sin Afflicted

Come, ye souls by sin afflicted,

Bowed with fruitless sorrow down;

By the broken law convicted,

Through the cross, behold the crown.

Look to Jesus, look to Jesus,

Look to Jesus; mercy flows thro’ Him alone.

Take His easy yoke and wear it;

Love will make your duty sweet.

Christ will give you strength to bear it,

While His grace shall guide your feet

Safe to glory, safe to glory,

Safe to glory where His ransomed captives meet.

Blessed is every eye that sees Him,

Blessed the ears that hear His voice,

Blessed the souls that simply trust Him,

And in Him alone rejoice.

His commandments, His commandments,

His commandments then become their gracious choice.

Sweet as home to pilgrims weary,

Light to newly opened eyes,

Water in the desert dreary,

Is the rest the cross supplies.

All who taste it, all who taste it,

All who taste it shall to rest immortal rise.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Jesus, lover of my soul,

Let me to Thy bosom fly,

While the nearer waters roll,

While the tempest still is nigh:

Hide me, O my Savior, hide,

‘Til the storm of life is past;

Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last!

Other refuge have I none,

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;

Leave, ah! leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me!

All my trust on Thee is stayed,

All my help from Thee I bring;

Cover my defenseless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want,

More than all in Thee I find;

Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick, and lead the blind.

Just and holy is Thy name,

I am all unrighteousness;

False and full of sin I am;

Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found,

Grace to cover all my sin;

Let the healing streams abound;

Make and keep me pure within:

Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of Thee;

Spring Thou up within my heart,

Rise to all eternity.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness,

O God my Father,

There is no shadow of

Turning with Thee;

Thou changest not,

Thy compassions, they fail not;

As Thou hast been

Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Great is Thy faithfulness—

Morning by morning

New mercies I see;

All I have needed

Thy hand hath provided—

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Lord, unto me.

Summer and winter

And springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon, and stars

In their courses above

Join with all nature

In manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness,

Mercy, and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Great is Thy faithfulness—

Morning by morning

New mercies I see;

All I have needed

Thy hand hath provided—

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Lord, unto me.

Pardon for sin

And a peace that endureth,

Thine own dear presence

To cheer and to guide,

Strength for today

And bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine,

With ten thousand beside.

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Great is Thy faithfulness—

Morning by morning

New mercies I see;

All I have needed

Thy hand hath provided—

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Lord, unto me.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,

See Him dying on the tree!

‘Tis the Christ by man rejected;

Yes, my soul, ‘tis He, ‘tis He!

‘Tis the long-expected Prophet,

David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;

By His Son God now has spoken:

‘Tis the true and faithful Word.

Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,

Was there ever grief like His?

Friends through fear His cause disowning,

Foes insulting His distress;

Many hands were raised to wound Him,

None would interpose to save;

But the deepest stroke that pierced Him

Was the stroke that Justice gave.

Ye who think of sin but lightly

Nor suppose the evil great

Here may view its nature rightly,

Here its guilt may estimate.

Mark the sacrifice appointed,

See who bears the awful load;

‘Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed,

Son of Man and Son of God.

Here we have a firm foundation,

Here the refuge of the lost;

Christ’s the Rock of our salvation,

His the name of which we boast.

Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,

Sacrifice to cancel guilt!

None shall ever be confounded

Who on Him their hope have built.

Spirit of the Living God

Spirit of the living God,

Fall afresh on me:

Spirit of the living God,

Fall afresh on me.

Melt me, mold me,

Mend me, move me.

Spirit of the living God,

Fall afresh on me.

Benediction

L E A D E R

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God,

A L L

Be honor and glory forever and ever.

Amen.
