When things are beyond my control,

To you, Lord, I lift up my soul.

And when things

Are hard to understand,

Lord, I trust in Your perfect plan.

Some things hazy will someday be clear.

Some things hidden will one day appear.

And some things

So wrong will be made right,

As we walk in your perfect light.

A mighty fortress is our God,

A bulwark never failing,

Our helper He amid the flood

Of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe

Doth seek to work us woe -

His craft and pow’r are great,

And, armed with cruel hate,

One earth is not His equal.

Did we in our own strength confide

Our striving would be losing,

Were not the right Man on our side,

The Man of God’s own choosing.

Dost ask who that may be?

Christ Jesus, it is He -

Lord Sabaoth His name.

From age to age the same,

And He must win the battle.

And though this world with devils filled,

Should threaten to undo us,

We will not fear, for God hath willed

His truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim,

We tremble not for him -

His rage we can endure,

For lo! His doom is sure:

One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs

No thanks to them abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours

Through Him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go,

This mortal life also -

The body they may kill,

God’s truth abideth still:

His kingdom is forever.

Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,

By His presence all divine?

True and tender, pure and precious,

O how blest to call Him mine!

Love of Christ so freely given,

Grace of God beyond degree,

Mercy higher than the heaven,

Deeper than the deepest sea!

What a wonderful redemption!

Never can a mortal know

How my sin, tho red like crimson,

Can be whiter than the snow.

Ev’ry need His hand supplying,

Ev’ry good in Him I see;

On His strength divine relying,

He is all in all to me.

By the crystal flowing river

With the ransomed I will sing,

And forever and forever

Praise and glorify the King.

Along the road of life I have a friend divine

Who walks with me and gently leads the way;

He gives me joy and makes the darkest night to shine,

It is my Lord who won my heart one day.

For many years I did not know His love so true

Until I heard how on the cross He died;

I trusted Him and He became my Saviour too

And since that day He’s journeyed by my side.

And you shall seek Me,

And you shall find Me,

When you shall search for Me

With all your heart,

And I will be found of you,

And I will be found of you,

When you shall seek Me

With all your heart;

And I will be found of you,

And I will be found of you,

When you shall seek Me

With all your heart.

You promised Your blood will deliver,

Lord, we believe it’s true;

You’ve promised us joy like a river,

Lord, we receive it from You.

These things You have spoken

And You’re bringing to pass;

This world’s disappearing,

But Your Word will last.

So ...

Lord, we believe it’s true;

You’ve promised unending tomorrows,

Lord, we receive them from You.

You’ll be our provider,

In Your Word it’s revealed;

By the stripes that You bore,

Lord we have been healed.

So ...

Be bold, be strong,

I am not afraid,

I am not dismayed,

‘Cause I’m walking in faith and victory.

Come on and walk in faith and victory,

For the Lord your God is with you.

Be not dismayed what e’er betide,

God will take care of you;

Beneath His wings of love abide,

God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,

God will take care of you;

When dangers fierce your path assail,

God will take care of you.

All you may need He will provide,

God will take care of you;

Nothing you ask will be denied,

God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,

God will take care of you;

Lean, weary one, upon His breast,

God will take care of you.

Be still, my soul -

The Lord is on thy side!

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

Leave to thy God to order and provide -

In ev’ry change He faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul -

Thy best, thy heav’nly friend

Through thorny ways

Leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul -

Thy God doth undertake

To guide the future as He has the past;

Thy hope, thy confidence

Let nothing shake -

All now mysterious

Shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul -

The waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them

While He dwelt below.

Be still, my soul -

The hour is hast’ning on

When we shall be

Forever with the Lord,

When disappointment,

Grief and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot,

Love’s purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul -

When change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed

We shall meet at last.

God sent His Son - they called Him Jesus,

He came to love, heal and forgive;

He gave His life to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove

My Saviour lives.

How sweet to hold a new born baby

And feel the pride and joy He gives;

But greater still the calm assurance;

This child can face uncertain days

Because Christ lives.

And then one day I’ll cross the river,

I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;

And then, as death gives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory -

And I’ll know He lives.

The Lord bless you

And keep you,

The Lord make His face to shine

Upon you;

And be gracious unto you,

And gives you peace forever

Forever.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

O what a foretaste

Of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit,

Washed in His blood.

Perfect submission - Perfect delight,

Visions of rapture

Now burst on my sight;

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy,

Whispers of love.

Perfect submission - all is at rest,

I in my Saviour

Am happy and blest;

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness,

Lost in His love.

Blessed be the Lord Almighty,

Blessed be the Lord Almighty;

When you seek His face,

You will find His grace,

Flowing like an everlasting fountain.

Blessed be the Lord Almighty,

Blessed be the Lord Almighty;

See what God can do,

Trust His Word it’s true,

A little bit of faith can move a mountain.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning,

When with our Saviour heav’n is begun;

Earth’s toiling ended,

O glorious dawning,

Beyond the sunset, when day is done.

Beyond the sunset no clouds will gather,

No storms will threaten,

No fears annoy;

O day of gladness, O day unending,

Beyond the sunset, eternal joy!

Beyond the sunset a hand will guide me

To God the Father, whom I adore;

His glorious presence,

His words of welcome,

Will be my portion on that fair shore.

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion,

With our dear loved ones

Who’ve gone before;

In that fair homeland

We’ll know no parting,

Beyond the sunset, forever more!

If you will call unto Me,

If you will call unto Me,

If you will call unto Me,

I’ll surely answer.

I’ll show you great things.

I’ll show you mighty things.

I’ll show you wondrous things

Which Thou knowest not.

Amen so be it Lord,

Amen so be it Lord,

Amen so be it Lord,

Thy perfect will be done;

Amen so be it Lord,

Amen so be it Lord,

Amen so be it Lord,

Thy will be done.

Blessed Jesus come to me.

Soothe my soul with songs of peace.

As I look to You alone,

Fill me with Your love.

Mountains high and valleys low,

You will never let me go.

By Your fountain let me drink,

Fill my thirsty soul.

There’s a peace in my heart

That the world never gave,

A peace it cannot take away;

Though the trials of life

May surround like a cloud,

I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!

All the world seemed to sing

Of a Saviour and King,

When peace sweetly came to my heart;

Troubles all fled away

And my night turned to day -

Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!

This treasure I have

In a temple of clay,

While here on His foot-stool I roam;

But He’s coming to take

Me some glorious day

Over there to my heavenly home!

The mystery that once was hidden

For ages and generations,

The knowledge of eternal love

That came to dwell inside of you,

He is my peace, who has broken

Down ev’ry wall.

He is my peace.

He is my peace.

Cast all your care on Him,

For He careth for you

He is my peace

He is my peace.

Day by day

And with each passing moment,

Strength I find to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my

Father’s wise bestowment

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.

He whose heart

Is kind beyond all measure

Gives unto

Each day what He deems best

Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest,

Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near me

With a special mercy for each hour;

All my cares

He fain would bear and cheer me,

He whose Name

Is counsellor and pow’r.

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself He laid;

"As your days,

Your strength shall be in measure,"

This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then in ev’ry tribulation

So to trust your promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation

Offered me within Your Holy Word.

Help me, Lord,

When toil and trouble meeting,

E’er to take, as from a Father’s hand,

One by one,

The days, the moments fleeting,

Till I reach the promised land.

Faithful One,

So unchanging.

Ageless One,

You’re my Rock of Peace.

Lord of all,

I depend on You.

I call out to You,

Again and again.

I call out to You,

Again and Again.

You are my Rock

In times of trouble.

You lift me up

When I fall down.

All through the storm

Your love is the anchor.

My hope is in You alone.

Fear not, for I am with you.

(Repeat)

I have redeemed you.

I have called you by name.

Child, you are Mine.

When you walk through the waters,

I will be there.

And through the flames

You’ll not (no way!) be drowned.

You’ll not (no way!) be burned,

For I am with you.

I have a living hope, (men)

I have a living hope, (women)

I have a future, (men)

I have a future, (women)

God has a plan for me, (men)

God has a plan for me, (women)

This I’m sure. (men)

Of this I’m sure. (women)

Your Word is faithful, (men)

Your Word is faithful, (women)

Mighty in power, (men)

Mighty in power, (women)

God will deliver me, (men)

God will deliver me, (women)

This I’m sure, (men)

Of this I’m sure. (women)

God can do anything,

Anything, anything,

God can do anything but fail.

He can save, He can keep,

He can cleanse and He will,

God can do anything but fail.

God hath not promised

Skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives through;

God hath not promised

Sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

God hath not promised

We shall not know

Toil and temptations,

Trouble and woe;

He hath not told us

We shall not bear

Many a burden, many a care.

God hath not promised

Smooth roads and wide,

Swift, easy travel,

Needing no guide;

Never a mountain,

Rocky and steep,

Never a river turbid and deep.

God hears and He answers prayer,

Cast on Jesus your every care,

Trust in His promises, they cannot fail

For, with the Father, He’ll ever prevail.

God hears and He answers prayer,

Frees my spirit from all despair;

Hasten to take Him your problems

For God answers prayer.

God is not man that He should lie,

Neither the Son of Man

That He should repent:

Has He said and shall He not do it?

Or has He spoken,

And it not come to pass?

Behold, I have received

Commandment to bless,

And He has blessed,

And I cannot reverse it -

For God is not a man

That He should lie,

Neither the Son of Man

That He should repent.

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.

Summer and winter and

Spring time and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars

In their courses above,

Join with all nature in

Manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness,

Mercy and love.

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!

It’s a lovely lovely name

The name of Jesus

It’s a lovely lovely name

From heaven above

Dispelling the clouds of doubt and fear

Filling the saddened heart with cheer,

It’s a lovely lovely name

The name I love.

By a roadway in the wilderness

He’ll lead me,

And rivers in the desert will I see.

Heaven and earth will fade,

But His Word will still remain.

He will do something new today.

Do you ever feel

Downhearted or discouraged?

Do you ever think your work

Is all in vain?

Do the burdens thrust upon you

Make you tremble,

And you fear that you shall

Ne’er the victory gain?

Darkest night will always

Come before the dawning,

Silver linings shine on

God’s side of the cloud;

All your journey He has promised

To be with you,

Nought has come to you

But what His love allowed.

God is mighty!

He is able to deliver;

Faith can victor be

In ev’ry trying hour;

Fear and care and sin

And sorrow be defeated

By our faith in God’s

Almighty conquering power.

He’s able, He’s able, I know He’s able,

I know my Lord is able

To carry me through;

He’s able, He’s able, I know He’s able,

I know my Lord is able

To carry me through.

He healed the broken hearted

And set the captives free;

He made the lame to walk again

And caused the blind to see.

He’s able, He’s able, I know He’s able,

I know my Lord is able

To carry me through.

He shall cover me with His feathers,

Under His wings I will trust;

He shall cover me with His feathers,

His truth is my shield

His truth is my shield

You shall not be afraid at night,

No fear of dangers by day;

And evil shall not come to you,

No plague near our home.

For He shall....

Cover me with His feathers,

Under His wings I will trust;

He shall cover me with His feathers,

His truth is my shield

His truth is my shield

His angels will protect you

Wherever you may go;

Their hand will keep you safe

From dashing your feet on a stone

For He shall cover me with His feathers,

Under His wings I will trust,

He shall show me His salvation,

Long life He will give to me

Long life to me.

There is no problem too big

God cannot solve it.

There is no mountain too tall

He cannot move it.

There is no storm too dark

He cannot calm it.

There is no sorrow too deep

He cannot soothe it.

If He carried the weight of the world

Though it seems I’m oft unnoticed

And lost in time and space,

God above is watching o’er me,

Though I cannot see His face.

O how sweet to know He hears me

When I go to Him in prayer;

And I tell Him all my troubles

When my heart is bowed with care.

So I face an unknown future,

Full of faith and unafraid;

And the peace I have through trusting,

For the world I would not trade.

‘Though man may strive

To go beyond the reef of space,

To crawl beyond

The distant glimm’ring stars,

This world’s a room

So small within my Master’s house

The open sky but a portion of His yard.

As winter’s chill

May cause the tiny seed to fall,

To lie asleep

‘Til waked by summer’s rain,

The heart grown cold

Will warm and throb with life anew

The Master’s touch

Will bring the glow again.

How firm a foundation,

Ye saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith in

His excellent Word!

What more can He say than

To you He hath said -

To you, who for refuge

To Jesus have fled?

"Fear not, I am with thee -

O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God,

I will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen thee,

Help thee, and cause thee to stand,

Upheld by my gracious,

Omnipotent hand.

"When through fiery trials

Thy pathway shall lie,

My grace, all-sufficient,

Shall be thy supply;

The flame shall not hurt thee -

I only design

Thy dross to consume and

thy gold to refine.

"The soul that on Jesus

Hath leaned for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;

That soul, though all hell should

Endeavour to shake,

I’ll never, no, never, O, never forsake!"

I am convinced,

That neither death nor life,

Angels, powers or principalities,

Nor present things, nor things to come,

Can keep us from the love of God.

Nor height nor depth,

I just keep trusting my Lord

As I walk along,

I just keep trusting my Lord

And He gives a song;

Though the storm-clouds darken the sky

O’er the heav’nly trail,

I just keep trusting my Lord -

He will never fail!

He’s a faithful friend,

Such a faithful friend,

I can count on Him

To the very end;

Though the storm-clouds darken the sky

O’er the heav’nly trail,

I just keep trusting my Lord -

He will never fail!

I just keep trusting my Lord

On the narrow way,

I just keep trusting my Lord

As He leads each day;

Though the road is weary at times

And I’m sad and blue,

I just keep trusting my Lord -

He will see me through!

He’s a faithful guide,

Such a faithful guide,

He is always there walking by my side;

Though the road is weary at times

And I’m sad and blue,

I just keep trusting my Lord -

He will see me through.

I know the Lord will make a way for me,

I know the Lord will make a way for me,

If I live a holy life,

Shun the wrong and do the right,

I know the Lord will make a way for me.

I know the Lord has made a way for me,

I know the Lord has made a way for me,

So I’ll live for Him each day

In the things I do and say,

I know the Lord has made a way for me.

I don’t know about tomorrow,

I just live from day to day;

I don’t borrow from its sunshine,

For its skies may turn to grey.

I don’t worry o’er the future,

For I know what Jesus said;

And today I’ll walk beside Him,

For He knows what is ahead.

Ev’ry step is getting brighter

As the golden stairs I climb;

Ev’ry burden’s getting lighter,

Ev’ry cloud is silver-lined.

There the sun is always shining,

There no tear will dim the eye,

At the ending of the rainbow

Where the mountains touch the sky.

I don’t know about tomorrow,

It may bring me poverty;

But the one who feeds the sparrow

Is the one who stands by me.

And the path that be my portion

May be through the flame or flood;

But His presence goes before me

And I’m covered with His blood.

I know that my Redeemer lives:

What comfort this

Sweet sentence gives!

He lives, He lives, who once was dead;

He lives, my everlasting Head.

He lives, triumphant from the grave;

He lives, eternally to save;

He lives, all glorious in the sky;

He lives, exalted there on high.

He lives to bless me with His love,

And still He pleads for me above;

He lives to raise me from the grave,

And me eternally to save.

He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend;

Who still will keep me to the end;

He lives, and while He lives I’ll sing,

Jesus, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives my mansion to prepare;

And He will bring me safely there;

He lives, all glory to His name!

Jesus, unchangeably the same!

He who dwells in the shelter

Of the most High,

Of the most High,

Will rest in the shadow,

Rest in the shadow

Of the Almighty.

Let the waters rise up,

Let the wind blow strong;

I will keep my eyes on You,

My hope, my song

Though the wicked prosper,

Goodness shall prevail;

Planted on the Rock,

My faith in You won’t fail.

I know not why God’s wondrous grace

To me He has made known,

Nor why, unworthy, as I am

He claimed me for His own.

I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His Word

Wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus through the Word,

Creating faith in Him.

I know not what of good or ill

May be reserved for me,

Of weary ways or golden days

Before His face I see.

I know not when my Lord may come

At night or noon-day fair,

Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him

Or meet Him in the air.

All my fears disappear

Whenever I’m with You;

Ev’ry care becomes a prayer

That I can leave with You.

I exchange all my pain

And You give me perfect peace;

Your steadfast love is like a flood,

That washes over me.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea-billows roll -

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin - O the bliss of this glorious thought -

My sin, not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

In moments like these,

I sing out a song,

I sing out a love song to Jesus.

In moments like these,

I lift up my hands,

I lift up my hands to the Lord.

Every step I take,

Is a step of faith.

No weapon formed against me,

Shall prosper.

And every prayer I make,

Is a prayer of faith.

And if my God is for me,

Then who can be against me.

In His time, in His time,

He made all things beautiful

In His time.

Lord, please show me everyday,

As You’re teaching me Your way,

That You’ll do just what You say

In Your time.

In Your time, in Your time,

You made all things beautiful

In Your time.

Lord, my life to You I bring,

May each song I have to sing

Be to You a lovely thing

In Your time.

I’ve found a friend, O such a friend!

He loved me ere I knew Him;

He drew me with the cords of love,

And thus He bound me to Him.

And round my heart still closely twine

Those ties which naught can sever,

For I am His and He is mine,

Forever and forever.

I’ve found a friend, O such a friend!

He bled, He died to save me;

And not alone the gift of life,

But His own self He gave me.

Nought that I have my own I call,

I hold it for the giver

My heart, my strength, my life, my all

Are His, and His forever.

I’ve found a friend, O such a friend!

All pow’r to Him is given

To guard me on my onward course

And bring me safe to heaven.

Th’eternal glories gleam afar

To nerve my faint endeavour:

So now to watch, to work, to war,

And then to rest forever.

I’ve found a friend, O such a friend!

So kind and true and tender.

So wise a counsellor and guide,

So mighty a defender!

From Him who loves me now so well,

What pow’r my soul can sever?

Shall life or death or earth or hell?

No - I am His forever.

It’s not an easy road,

We are travelling to heaven,

For many are the thorns on the way;

It’s not an easy road

But the Saviour is with us,

His presence gives us joy ev’ry day.

It’s not an easy road,

There are trials and troubles

And many are the dangers we meet;

But Jesus guards and keeps us

So nothing can harm us,

And smooths the rugged path

For our feet.

Though I am often footsore

And weary from travel,

Though I am often

Bowed down with care;

A better day is coming

When home in the glory,

We’ll rest in perfect peace over there.

They that wait upon the Lord

Shall renew their strength,

They shall mount up

With wings like eagles;

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint -

Teach me Lord, teach me Lord, to wait.

Jehovah Jireh, my provider -

His grace is sufficient for me,

For me, for me.

Jehovah Jireh, my provider -

His grace is sufficient for me.

My God shall supply all my need

According to His riches in glory.

He gives His angels charge over me -

Jehovah Jireh cares for me,

For me, for me

Jehovah Jireh cares for me.

I am so glad that our Father in heav’n

Tells of His love in the Book

He has giv’n;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see -

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Though I forget Him and wander away,

Still He doth love me wherever I stray;

Back to His dear loving arms

Would I flee

When I remember that Jesus loves me.

O if there’s only one song I can sing

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be:

"O what a wonder that Jesus loves me!"

A pilgrim was I and a-wand’ring

In the cold night of sin I did roam,

When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me.

And now I am on my way home.

When I walk through the dark lonesome valley,

My Saviour will walk with me there,

And safely His great hand will lead me

To the mansions He’s gone to prepare.

When my eyes behold the stars,

This heart of mine is filled with wonder,

My poor mind cannot grasp their array;

But the hand that spilled them there,

All across the wide heavens,

Had a plan when

He placed them that way.

In this world of toil and snare,

On my knees, I ask the question -

Why alone the heavy cross I must bear?

Then He tells me in my prayer -

It’s because I am trustworthy,

He gives me strength

Far more than my share.

There is a place of quiet rest

Near to the heart of God,

A place where sin cannot molest,

Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet

Near to the heart of God.

A place where we our Saviour meet,

Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release

Near to the heart of God,

A place where all is joy and peace,

Near to the heart of God.

My grace is sufficient for thee,

For My strength

Is made perfect in weakness;

My grace is sufficient for thee,

For My strength

Is made perfect in weakness.

And the peace of God

And the peace of God which passeth

All understanding

Shall keep your hearts and minds,

Through Christ Jesus, our Lord.

In the Name of Jesus

Our salvation lies.

He will hear from Heaven

To answer every cry.

By the blood of Jesus

Sins are washed away.

We sing for joy.

To God our strength

His banner we wave.

Standing on the promises

Of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages

Let His praises ring!

Glory in the highest

I will shout and sing -

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises

That cannot fail

When the howling storms

Of doubt and fear assail;

By the living word

Of God I shall prevail -

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises

Of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally

By love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily

With the Spirit’s sword -

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises

I cannot fall,

List’ning ev’ry moment

To the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Saviour

As my all in all -

Standing on the promises of God.

The Lord is my light

The Lord is my strength,

The strength of my life.

Of whom then shall I be afraid?

The Lord is my shepherd,

He meets all my needs,

To a restful oasis

He tenderly leads;

My soul He restores,

And the path that I take,

He abundantly blesses

For His own name’s sake.

He leads through the valley

Of death’s darkest gloom,

But because He’s beside me,

I shall not fear doom;

His rod and His staff my security,

He guides and protects me devotedly.

The one perfect Host,

He graciously cares

While my foes are restrained,

A feast He prepares;

The Lord fills my cup

With His own rarest wine,

And anoints me with perfume

As I come and dine.

Pursued by prosperity all my life long,

His unfailing kindness

Will be my sweet song;

And in my Lord’s mansions

Forever I’ll be,

With fullness of joy for eternity.

Lord I come to You.

Let my heart be changed, renewed,

Flowing from the grace

That I’ve found in You.

And Lord I’ve come to know

The weaknesses I see in me

Will be stripped away

By the power of Your love.

Lord unveil my eyes.

Let me see You face to face.

The knowledge of Your Love

As You live in me.

Lord renew my mind

As Your will unfolds in my life,

In living every day

In the power of Your love.

There’s the wonder of sunset

At evening,

The wonder of sunrise I see;

But the wonder of wonders

That thrills my soul

Is the wonder that God loves me.

There’s the wonder of springtime

And harvest,

The sky, the stars, the sun;

But the wonder of wonders

That thrills my soul

Is a wonder that’s only begun.

The steadfast love

Of the Lord never ceases;

His mercies never come to an end.

They are new ev’ry morning,

New ev’ry morning.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord!

Great is Thy faithfulness.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace

Whose mind is stayed on Thee,

When the shadows come

And darkness falls

He giveth inward peace;

O, He is the only perfect resting place,

He giveth perfect peace,

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace

Whose mind is stayed on Thee.

The steps of a good man

Are ordered by the Lord.

And He delighteth in his ways,

Tho’ he fall; tho’ he fall;

He shall not be cast down,

For the Lord upholdeth him

With His hand.

With His hand, with His hand

For the Lord upholdeth him

With His hand.

Tho’ he fall; tho’ he fall;

He shall not be cast down,

For the Lord upholdeth him

With His hand.

There shall be showers of blessing -

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Saviour above.

There shall be showers of blessing -

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

There shall be showers of blessing -

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call.

There’s a Friend for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

A Friend who never changes,

Whose love will never die:

Unlike our friends by nature,

Who change with changing years,

This Friend is always worthy

The precious name He bears.

There’s a home for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

Where Jesus reigns in glory -

A home of peace and joy:

No home on earth is like it,

Nor can with it compare,

For every one is happy,

Nor could be happier there.

There’s a crown for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

And all who look to Jesus

Shall wear it by and by;

A crown of brightest glory

Which He will then bestow

On those who found His favour

And loved Him here below.

There’s a song for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

A song that will not weary,

Though sung continually;

A song which even angels

Can never, never sing;

They know not Christ as Saviour,

But worship Him as King.

Therefore the redeemed

(Repeat)

They shall obtain gladness and joy

And sorrow and mourning

Shall flee away.

‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to take Him at His word,

Just to rest upon His promise,

Just to know "Thus saith the Lord."

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood,

Just in simple faith to plunge in

‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

I’m so glad I learned to trust Him,

Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend;

And I know that He is with me,

Will be with me to the end.

Jesus, God’s righteousness revealed.

The Son of Man, the Son of God

His Kingdom come.

Jesus, redemption’s sacrifice,

Now glorified, now justified.

His Kingdom come.

Jesus, the expresssion of God’s love,

The grace of God,

The Word of God

Revealed to us;

Jesus, God’s holiness displayed

Now glorified, now justified.

His Kingdom come.

Through it all,

Through it all,

I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,

I’ve learned to trust in God;

Through it all,

Through it all,

I’ve learned to depend

Upon His word.

When we walk with the Lord

In the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will

He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,

Not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt nor a fear,

Not a sigh nor a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

But we never can prove

The delights of His love

Until all on the altar we lay,

For the favour He shows

And the joy He bestows

Are for those who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;

What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go -

Never fear, only trust and obey.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?

No light in the darkness you see?

There’s light for a look at the Saviour,

And life more abundant and free!

Just as a servant waits

At his master’s hand,

So, Lord, my spirit waits for You;

More than the watchmen

For the morning

Or the hungry for their bread,

My heart is turned to You, O Lord.

Your tender mercies, Lord,

Never have an end,

My heart will ever trust in You;

How excellent Your lovingkindness,

How rich Your faithfulness,

For it reaches to the clouds.

Will your anchor hold

In the storms of life?

When the clouds unfold

Their wings of strife;

When the strong tides lift,

And the cables strain,

Will your anchor drift or firm remain?

You are my hiding place,

You always fill my heart

With songs of deliverance.

Whenever I am afraid,

I will trust in You.

Abide with me - fast falls the eventide!

The darkness deepens -

Lord, with me abide;

When other helpers

Fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day,

Earth’s joys grow dim,

Its glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see -

O Thou who changest not,

Abide with me!

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless,

Ills have no weight and

Tears no bitterness;

Where is death’s sting?

Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still if Thou abide with me!

In the very thought of Jesus,

His presence can be found;

He’s as close as the mention of His name.

There is never any distance

Between my Lord and me,

He’s as close as the mention of His name.

In my very hour of struggle,

So many times I found

He’s as close as the mention of His name;

Just to breathe the name of Jesus

Can turn everything around -

He’s as close as the mention of His name.

I’ve got peace like a river,

I’ve got peace like a river,

I’ve got peace like a river in my soul;

I’ve got peace like a river,

I’ve got peace like a river,

I’ve got peace like a river in my soul.

I’ve got love for my neighbour.....

I’ve got joy like a fountain.....

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord,

A wonderful Saviour to me;

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock

Where rivers of pleasure I see.

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord,

He taketh my burden away;

He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,

He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,

And, filled with His fullness divine,

I sing in my rapture, "O glory to God!

For such a Redeemer as mine!"

Like a river glorious,

Is God’s perfect peace,

Over all victorious

In its bright increase;

Perfect, yet it floweth

Fuller every day;

Perfect, yet it groweth

Deeper all the way.

Hidden in the hollow

Of His blessed hand,

Never foe can follow;

Never traitor stand;

We may trust Him fully

All for us to do;

They who trust Him wholly

Find Him wholly true.

I come to the garden alone,

While the dew is still on the roses;

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,

The Son of God discloses.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him

Though the night around me be falling;

But He bids me go -

Through the voice of woe,

His voice to me is calling.

My peace I give unto you -

It’s a peace that the world cannot give,

It’s a peace that the world

Cannot understand;

Peace to know, peace to live,

My peace I give unto you.

My love I give unto you.....

Safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe on His gentle breast,

There by His love o’ershaded,

Sweetly my soul shall rest:

Hark! ‘Tis the voice of angels

Borne in a song to me,

Over the fields of glory,

Over the jasper sea.

Safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe from corroding care,

Safe from the world’s temptations,

Sin cannot harm me there:

Free from the blight of sorrow,

Free from my doubts and fears;

Only a few more trials,

Only a few more tears.

Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge,

Jesus has died for me;

Firm on the Rock of Ages

Ever my trust shall be:

Here let me wait with patience,

Wait till the night is o’er;

Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on Thee.

God is still on the throne

And He will remember His own;

Though trials may press us,

And burdens distress us,

He never will leave us alone.

God is still on the throne

And He will remember His own;

His promise is true,

He will not forget you -

God is still on the throne.

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

Too deeply for mirth and song -

As the burdens press,

And the cares distress,

And the way grows weary and long?

Does Jesus care when my way is dark

With a nameless dread and fear?

As the daylight fades

Into deep night shades,

Does He care enough to be near?

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed

To resist some temptation strong?

When for my deep grief I find no relief,

Though my tears flow

All the night long?

Does Jesus care when I’ve said good-bye

To the dearest on earth to me?

And my sad heart aches

Till it nearly breaks -

Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

Ev’ry day with Jesus

Is sweeter than the day before,

Ev’ry day with Jesus,

I love Him more and more;

Jesus saves and keeps me,

And He’s the One I’m waiting for;

Ev’ry day with Jesus

Is sweeter than the day before.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but Thou art mighty -

Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand:

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through:

Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,

Be Thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Bear me through the swelling current,

Land me safe on Canaan’s side:

Songs of praises, songs of praises

I will ever give to Thee.

Jesus is walking beside me,

Guiding each step of the way;

Safely He’ll lead me to heaven,

Gladly His voice I obey.

He knows each turn of the pathway,

He is a light for my feet;

He has the power to keep me,

Though many dangers we meet.

He knows my weakness and failure,

And, should I linger behind,

Patient is He and forgiving,

So understanding and kind.

Our God is far greater

Than words can make known -

Exalted and holy,

He reigns on His throne.

In infinite splendour He rules over all,

Yet He feeds the poor sparrows,

And He knows when they fall.

He rides the wild heavens,

He strides to the sea,

The high mountains tremble

To hear His decree;

His voice with great thundering

Sounds from above,

But to His own children,

He whispers His love.

I have got a friend that’s true,

Someone who will see me through,

He guides me in all I do -

His name is Jesus.

When I stumble He is there,

All my troubles He will share,

He’s the Saviour, the One who cares -

His name is Jesus.

However great the storm,

He will make the waters calm,

And through the darkest night,

Jesus is the guiding light.

I find comfort when I read

Of the things He’s done for me,

Yes, I’ve got a friend indeed -

His name is Jesus.

When the road seems hard and long,

And things keep on going wrong,

Someone always makes me strong -

His name is Jesus.

Sometimes on life’s restless waves,

I’m a ship without a sail,

But my Captain will never fail -

His name is Jesus.

The joy that He imparts,

Brings warmth to my heart,

That’s far beyond compare

To the earthly joys I share.

While I talk and walk with Him,

All my battles He will win,

He helps me in everything -

His name is Jesus.

He’ll go with me all the way,

He’s my comfort and my stay;

From His tender love and mercy

I will never, never stray;

O’er the mountains rough and steep,

Through the valley, dark and deep,

Till I reach my home in glory,

He’ll go with me all the way.

I asked the Lord to comfort me

When things weren’t going my way;

He said to me, "I will comfort you,

And lift your cares away."

I asked the Lord to walk with me,

When darkness was all that I knew;

He said to me, "Never be afraid,

For I will see you through."

I thank the Lord for ev’rything,

And I count my blessings each day;

He came to me when I needed Him -

I only had to pray;

And He’ll come to you, if you ask Him to

He’s only a prayer away!

In God’s green pastures feeding,

By His cool waters lie,

Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I.

All the sheep of His pastures

Fare so wondrously fine,

His sheep am I.

I must have the Saviour with me,

For I dare not walk alone;

I must feel His presence near me,

And His arm around me thrown.

I must have the Saviour with me,

For my faith, at best, is weak;

He can whisper words of comfort

That no other voice can speak.

I must have the Saviour with me,

In the onward march of life,

Through the tempest and the sunshine,

Through the battle and the strife.

I know who holds the future,

And He’ll guide me with His hands;

With God, things don’t just happen

Everything by Him is planned.

So as I face tomorrow

With its problems large and small,

I’ll trust the God of miracles,

Give to Him my all.

I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Stay Thou near by;

Temptations lose their pow’r

When Thou art nigh.

I need Thee ev’ry hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain.

I need Thee ev’ry hour,

Most Holy One;

O make me Thine indeed,

Thou blessed Son!

You laid Your hand, mighty Lord,

On the range,

Laid Your wonderful hand

On the prairie;

Lord, You poured forth the fountains,

Raised up the mountains,

Oh Lord, keep Your mighty

Hand on me.

You touched the clouds,

Made them rain,

From the rain made the sea,

From the sea formed the clouds,

To give us life abundantly;

You have the earth and the sky

In Your command, Lord,

Oh, please keep Your precious

Hand on me.

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness,

What a peace is mine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread,

What have I to fear,

Leaning on the everlasting arms?

I have blessed peace

With my Lord so near,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills,

The wealth in ev’ry mine;

He owns the rivers

And the rocks and rills,

The sun and stars that shine.

Wonderful riches,

More than tongue can tell,

He is my Father

So they’re mine as well;

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills -

I know that He will care for me.

I trust in God wherever I may be,

Upon the land or on the rolling sea,

For, come what may, from day to day,

My heav’nly Father watches over me.

He makes the rose an object of His care,

He guides the eagle

Thru’ the pathless air;

And surely He remembers me,

My heav’nly Father watches over me.

O love, that wilt not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in Thee;

I give Thee back the life I owe,

That in Thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O Light, that followest all my way,

I yield my flickering torch to Thee;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy, that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to Thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross, that liftest up my head,

I dare not ask to fly from Thee;

I lay in dust life’s glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be.

When my way grows drear,

Precious Lord linger near,

When my life is almost gone;

Hear my cry, hear my call,

Hold my hand lest I fall,

Take my hands, precious Lord,

Lead me home.

When my work here is done

And my way here is run,

Let me sleep by the light Thou has shown;

That fair city so bright

With the Lamb that’s the light,

Take my hand, precious Lord,

Lead me home.

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us,

Much we need Thy tender care;

In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,

For our use Thy folds prepare:

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

We are Thine - do Thou befriend us,

Be the guardian of our way;

Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,

Seek us when we go astray:

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Hear, O hear us when we pray;

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Hear, O hear us when we pray.

Thou hast promised to receive us,

Poor and sinful though we be;

Thou hast mercy to relieve us,

Grace to cleanse and pow’r to free:

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Early let us turn to Thee;

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Early let us turn to Thee.

Early let us seek Thy favour,

Early let us do Thy will;

Blessed Lord and only Saviour,

With Thy love our bosoms fill:

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast loved us, love us still;

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast loved us, love us still.

Someday when I see my Lord and King,

I will bow before my God and sing;

Oh Lord, I want to see You,

Oh Lord, I want to be near You;

Someday I will see my loving King!

Someday when I meet my God above,

I will thank Him for His care and love;

And praise Him for His greatness,

Adore Him for His graces;

Someday I will meet my God of Love!

Through all the changing scenes of life,

In trouble and in joy,

The praises of my God shall still

My heart and tongue employ.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me!

With me exalt His Name;

When in distress to Him I called,

He to my rescue came.

The hosts of God encamp around

The dwellings of the just;

Deliverance He affords to all

Who on His succour trust.

Fear Him, ye saints; and you will then

Have nothing else to fear;

Make you His service your delight,

Your wants shall be His care.

The King of love my Shepherd is,

Whose goodness faileth never;

I nothing lack if I am His

And He is mine for ever.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,

But yet in love He sought me,

And on His shoulder gently laid,

And home rejoicing brought me.

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill

With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,

Thy cross before to guide me.

And so through all the length of days

Thy goodness faileth never;

Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise

Within Thy house for ever.

God is here, and that to bless us

With the Spirit’s quickening power:

See, the cloud already bending,

Waits to drop the grateful shower.

God is here! We feel His presence

In this consecrated place;

But we need the soul refreshing

Of His free, unbounded grace.

God is here! Oh, then, believing,

Bring to Him our one desire,

That His love may now be kindled,

Till its flame each heart inspire.

Saviour, grant the prayer we offer,

While in simple faith we bow,

From the windows of Thy mercy

Pour us out a blessing now.

If I have wounded any soul today,

If I have caused one foot to go astray,

If I have walked in my own wilful way,

Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,

If I have turned aside

From want or pain,

Lest I offend some other thru the strain,

Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,

If I have longed for shelter in the fold,

When Thou hast given me

Some fort to hold,

Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins

I have confessed to Thee;

Forgive the secret sins I do not see;

O guide me, love me,

And my keeper be.

Amen.

Here in Thy name we are gathered,

Come and revive us, O Lord!

"There shall be showers of blessing."

Thou hast declared in Thy Word.

Oh! That the showers of blessing

Now on our souls may descend,

While at the footstool of mercy

Pleading Thy promise we bend!

"There shall be showers of blessing."

Promise that never can fail;

Thou wilt regard our petition;

Surely our faith will prevail!

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,

Uttered or unexpressed,

The motion of a hidden fire

That trembles in the breast.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech,

That infant lips can try;

Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach

The Majesty on high.

Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice,

Returning from his way,

While angels in their songs rejoice,

And cry, "Behold, he prays!"

O Thou, by whom we come to God,

The Life, the Truth, the Way!

The path of prayer Thyself hast trod;

Lord, teach us how to pray!

I once was lost in sin,

But Jesus took me in,

And then a little light

From Heaven filled my soul;

It bathed my heart in love

And wrote my name above,

And just a little talk

With Jesus made me whole.

I may have doubts and fears,

My eyes be filled with tears,

But Jesus is a friend

Who watches day and night;

I go to Him in pray’r,

He knows my ev’ry care,

And just a little talk

With Jesus makes it right.

Teach me to pray, Lord,

Teach me to pray.

This is my heart-cry day unto day;

I long to know Thy will and Thy way.

Teach me to pray, Lord,

Teach me to pray.

Power in prayer, Lord,

Power in prayer.

Here ‘mid earth’s sin

And sorrow and care;

Men lost and dying, souls in despair.

O give me power, power in prayer!

My weakened will, Lord,

Thou canst renew.

My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;

Fill me just now with power anew.

Power to pray and power to do!

Teach me to pray, Lord,

Teach me to pray.

Thou art my pattern day unto day;

Thou art my surety now and for aye.

Teach me to pray, Lord,

Teach me to pray.

‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer,

When our hearts lowly bend,

And we gather to Jesus,

Our Saviour and Friend;

If we come to Him in faith,

His protection to share;

What a balm for the weary!

O how sweet to be there!

‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer,

When the Saviour draws near,

With a tender compassion

His children to hear,

When He tells us we may cast

At His feet ev’ry care;

What a balm for the weary!

O how sweet to be there!

‘Tis the blessed hour of prayer,

When the tempted and tried,

To the Saviour who loves them

Their sorrow confide;

With a sympathising heart

He removes ev’ry care;

What a balm for the weary!

O how sweet to be there!

At the blessed hour of prayer,

Trusting Him we believe

That the blessings we’re needing,

We’ll surely receive.

In the fullness of this trust,

We shall lose ev’ry care;

What a balm for the weary!

O how sweet to be there!

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear;

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer.

O, what peace we often forfeit,

O, what needless pain we bear!

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

Take it to the Lord in pray’r.

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness;

Take it to the Lord in pray’r.

Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Saviour, still our refuge;

Take it to the Lord in pray’r.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in pray’r;

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee;

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Somehow the Saviour

Seems a little nearer,

When I kneel down to pray,

And fellowship with Him a little dearer,

When I kneel down to pray.

A secret place of quiet meditation,

When I kneel down to pray,

Increases all the joy of that relation,

When I kneel down to pray.

I tarry there with Christ a little longer,

When I kneel down to pray,

And rise to face the world

A little stronger,

When I kneel down to pray.

Sweet hour of prayer,

Sweet hour of prayer,

That calls me from a world of care,

And bids me at my Father’s throne

Make all my wants and wishes known:

In seasons of distress and grief

My soul has often found relief,

And oft escaped the tempter’s snare

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer,

Sweet hour of prayer,

Thy wings shall my petition bear

To Him whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless:

And since He bids me seek His face,

Believe His Word, and trust His grace,

I’ll cast on Him my ev’ry care,

And wait for Thee,

Sweet hour of prayer.

Blessed is the man,

The man who does not walk

In the counsel of the wicked -

Blessed is that man.

He who rejects the way,

Rejects the way of sin

And who turns away from scoffing,

Blessed is the man.

But his delight by day and night

Is the law of God Almighty.

He is like a tree, a tree that flourishes,

Being planted by the water -

Blessed is that man.

He will bring forth fruit,

His leaf will wither not;

For in all he does he prospers -

Blessed is that man.

For his delight by day and night

Is the law of God Almighty.

The wicked are not so -

For they are like the chaff

Which the wind blows clean away -

The wicked are not so.

The wicked will not stand

On the judgement day

Nor belong to God’s people -

The wicked will not stand.

But God knows the way

Of righteous men

And ungodly ways will perish.

Blessed is the man,

The man who does not walk

In the counsel of the wicked -

Blessed is the man.

Are you tired of chasing

Pretty rainbows?

Are you tired of spinning

Round and round?

Wrap up all the shattered dreams

Of your life

And at the feet of Jesus lay them down.

He never said you’d only see sunshine,

He never said there’d be no rain;

He only promised a heart full of singing

About the very things

That once brought pain.

Whosoever will live for self

Will throw his life away,

Christ gives life to all who follow Him,

What is a man advantaged

If he gains the whole wide world

And then loses his soul!

Whosoever will be ashamed

Of Jesus and His words,

In this sinful age in which we live,

Jesus the King will be ashamed

Of him in that great day

When in glory He comes!

Do you ever search your heart

As you watch the day depart?

Is there something way down deep

You try to hide?

If this day should be the end,

And eternity begin,

When the Book is opened wide;

Would the Lord be satisfied?

Feeble is the lamp of fame

By which man inscribes his name

On the walls of time

For other men to see;

Though he boasts of wealth and pow’r

None can help him in that hour

When the angels hear his plea -

Is He satisfied with me?

Lord, speak to me that I may speak

In living echoes of Thy tone;

As Thou hast sought, so let me seek

Thy erring children lost and lone.

O teach me, Lord, that I may teach

The precious things Thou dost impart;

And wing my words

That they may reach

The hidden depths of many a heart.

O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,

Until my very heart o’erflow

In kindling thought and glowing word,

Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

O use me, Lord, use even me,

Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,

Until Thy blessed face I see -

Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

Out in the highways and byways of life,

Many are weary and sad:

Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,

Making the sorrowing glad.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,

Tell of His pow’r to forgive

Others will trust Him if only you prove

True, ev’ry moment you live.

Give as ‘twas given to you in your need,

Love as the Master loved you;

Be to the helpless a helper indeed,

Unto your mission be true.

Onward, Christian soldiers,

Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before!

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle

See His banners go!

At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory!

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise!

Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the saints have trod.

We are not divided,

All one body we -

One in hope and doctrine,

One in charity.

Onward, then, ye people,

Join our happy throng;

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song.

Glory, laud and honor

Unto Christ, the King -

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

More about Jesus would I know,

More of His grace to others show,

More of His saving fullness see,

More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus let me learn,

More of His holy will discern;

Spirit of God, my teacher be,

Showing the things of Christ to me.

More about Jesus in His Word,

Holding communion with my Lord,

Hearing His voice in ev’ry line,

Making each faithful saying mine.

So let us know,

Let us press to know the Lord,

For as surely as the dawn He will come;

And as the dew drops kiss

The morning grass,

So He will come to His own.

My faithfulness to Thee

Had faded away;

Like a cloud,

I could not stand before the sun.

I was broken, but then You came,

And You made me whole again -

Oh come, let us return to the Lord.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And His righteousness,

And all these things

Shall be added unto you -

Allelu, alleluia!

Ask and it shall be given to you,

Seek and ye shall find,

Knock and it shall be

Opened unto you -

Allelu, alleluia!

They that trust in the Lord

Shall be as Mount Zion

Which cannot be removed

But abideth forever;

As the mountains are

Round about Jerusalem,

So the Lord is round about His people,

So the Lord is round about His people,

From henceforth even forever.

Yield not to temptation,

For yielding is sin -

Each vict’ry will help you

Some other to win;

Fight manfully onward,

Dark passions subdue,

Look ever to Jesus -

He’ll carry you through.

Shun evil companions,

Bad language disdain,

God’s name hold in rev’rence,

Nor take it in vain;

Be thoughtful and earnest,

Kind-hearted and true,

Look ever to Jesus -

He’ll carry you through.

To Him that o’ercometh

God giveth a crown,

Through faith we will conquer

Though often cast down;

He who is our Saviour

Our strength will renew,

Look ever to Jesus -

He’ll carry you through.

(Repeat 2x)

Coming down from Your throne on high,

You died on the cross for me;

Rising from the dead You live

To give me the victory.

(Repeat 2x)

Coming down from Your throne on high,

You died on the cross for me;

Rising from the dead You live

To give me the victory.

For all the saints

Who from their labours rest,

Who Thee by faith

Before the world confessed,

Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock,

Their fortress and their might;

Thou, Lord, their captain

In the well fought fight;

And Thou, in darkness drear,

Their one true light:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

O blest communion, fellowship divine!

We feebly struggle they in glory shine;

Yet all are one in Thee,

For all are thine:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

O may thy soldiers,

Faithful, true and bold,

Fight as the saints

Who nobly fought of old,

And win with them

The victor’s crown of gold:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce,

The warfare long,

Steals on the ear

The distant triumph song,

And hearts are brave again,

And arms are strong:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

From earth’s wide boughs,

From ocean’s farthest coast,

Thru’ gates of pearl

Streams in the countless host,

Singing to the Father,

Son and Holy Ghost:

Alleluia, Alleluia!

The victory is mine

When fear and doubt surround you all about,

And the enemy’s camp is near;

Say that Jesus in me is greater than he

Who lives in the world.

(Chorus)

Hosanna, He has won the victory;

Hosanna, Over all our enemies.

Hosanna, We lift our hands in praise;

Hosanna, We will conquer in His name.

(Chorus)

Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!

On the vict’ry side,

On the vict’ry side,

No foe can daunt me,

No fear can haunt me,

On the vict’ry side.

On the vict’ry side,

On the vict’ry side,

With Christ within,

The fight we’ll win -

On the vict’ry side.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

Ye soldiers of the cross!

Lift high His royal banner -

It must not suffer loss.

From vict’ry unto vict’ry

His army shall He lead,

Till ev’ry foe is vanquished

And Christ is Lord indeed.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

The trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict

In this His glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve Him

Against unnumbered foes;

Let courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

Stand in His strength alone;

The arm of flesh will fail you -

Ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armour,

Each piece put on with prayer;

Where duty calls, or danger,

Be never wanting there.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

The strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle -

The next, the victor’s song.

To him that overcometh

A crown of life shall be:

He with the King of glory

Shall reign eternally.

In heavenly armour

We’ll enter the land;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

No weapon that’s fashioned

Against us will stand;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

When the power of darkness

Comes in like a flood;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

He’s raised up a standard,

The power of His blood;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

When your enemy presses

In hard do not fear;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

Take courage my friend

Your redemption is near;

The battle belongs to the Lord!

For God has won the victory

And set His people free.

His Word has slain the enemy.

The earth shall stand and see that

Through our God

O victory in Jesus,

My Saviour, for ever.

He sought me and He bought me

With His redeeming blood;

He loved me ere I knew Him,

And all my love is due Him,

He plunged me to victory

Beneath the cleansing flood.

Forgetting what lies behind,

Setting our hearts on the prize,

Always keeping our eyes

On our Lord Jesus;

We’re running the race to win,

All the way to the end,

Laying down ev’ry sin

That would seek to hinder us.

And we’ll be faithful to our calling,

For You are able

To keep us from falling;

For in Your promise we will trust,

You’ll be faithful to finish the work

You began in us.

For I’m building a people of power,

And I’m making a people of praise

That will move through this land

By My Spirit

And will glorify My precious name.

Build Your church, Lord;

Make us strong, Lord.

Join our hearts, Lord, through Your Son.

Make us one, Lord, in Your body,

In the kingdom of your Son.

Glorious things of Thee are spoken,

Zion, city of our God;

He whose word cannot be broken

Formed thee for His own abode:

On the Rock of Ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose?

With salvation’s walls surrounded,

Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

See, the streams of living waters,

Springing from eternal love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters

And all fear of want remove:

Who can faint while such a river

Ever flows their thirst to assuage?

Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,

Never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hov’ring,

See the cloud and fire appear

For a glory and a cov’ring,

Showing that the Lord is near!

Glorious things of Thee are spoken,

Zion, city of our God;

He whose word cannot be broken

Formed thee for His own abode.

The Church’s one foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;

She is His new creation

By water and the Word:

From heav’n He came and sought her

To be His holy bride;

With His own blood He bought her,

And for her life He died.

Elect from ev’ry nation,

Yet one o’er all the earth,

Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth;

One holy name she blesses,

Partakes one holy food,

And to one hope she presses,

With ev’ry grace endued.

‘Mid toil and tribulation

And tumult of her war,

She waits the consummation

Of peace forevermore;

Till with the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest,

And the great Church victorious

Shall be the Church at rest.

Yet she on earth hath union

With God the Three in One,

And mystic sweet communion

With those whose rest is won:

O happy ones and holy!

Lord, give us grace that we,

Like them, the meek and lowly,

On high may dwell with Thee.

We are heirs of the Father,

We are joint heirs with the Son,

We are children of the Kingdom,

We are family, we are one.

Faith of our fathers, living still

In spite of dungeon, fire and sword -

O how our hearts beat high with joy

Whene’er we hear that glorious word!

Faith of our fathers, we will love

Both friend and foe in all our strife;

And preach thee too,

As love knows how,

By kindly words and virtuous life.

Ah-la-la-la-la - la - la - le - lu - jah.

Ah-la-la-la-la - la - le - lu - jah.

Ah-la-la-la-la - la - la - le - lu - jah.

Ah-la-la-la-la - la - le - le - lu - jah.

Take another hand

Take another hand

And sing along

Take another hand

Take a hand next to ya

Take another hand

And sing ... sing this song ...

Lift another hand.....

Clap another hand.....

Joining our hands we sing alleluia,

Sing alleluia, joining our hands.

Joining our hands we sing alleluia,

Sing alleluia, joining our hands.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,

Joining our hands.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,

Joining our hands.

Taking His hand.....

Be ye kind one to another,

Tender-hearted, forgiving one another

Even as God for Christ’s sake

Forgiven you.

Doo, doo, doo; Doo, doo, doo, doo,

Ephesians four thirty two.

In His family

We can meet each one’s needs.

We can light each one’s path.

We can share each one’s grief.

As His children

We can comfort each care.

We can build each one’s faith.

We can work, we can share.

In His family all the love that we show.

All the help that we give,

All the life we bestow,

As His children

They’re an offering we made,

Not expecting return,

Just a gift for His sake.

Let there be love shared amongst us,

Let there be love in our eyes;

May now Your love sweep this nation,

Cause us, O Lord, to arise;

Give us a fresh understanding,

Of brotherly love that is real -

Let there be love shared amongst us,

Let there be love.

Blest be the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love!

The fellowship of kindred minds

Is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

Our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes,

Our mutual burdens bear;

And often for each other flows

The sympathising tear.

When we asunder part

It gives us inward pain;

But we shall still be joined in heart,

And hope to meet again.

A new commandment I give unto you -

That you love one another

As I have loved you,

That you love one another

As I have loved you.

By this shall all men know

You are my disciples -

If you have love one for another;

By this shall all men know

You are my disciples -

If you have love one for another.

There is only one God,

There is only one King,

There is only one body -

That is why I sing.

Jesus, stand among us

At the meeting of our lives.

Be our sweet agreement

At the meeting of our eyes.

O Jesus, we love You,

So we gather here,

Join our hearts in unity,

And take away our fear.

So to You we’re gathering

Out of each and ev’ry land

Christ, the love between us

At the joining of our hands,

O Jesus, we love You,

So we gather here,

Join our hearts in unity

And take away our fear.

I love you with the love of the Lord,

Yes, I love you with the love of the Lord;

I can see in you the glory of my King,

And I love you with the

Love of the Lord.

Lord we come in Your name,

Gathered here to worship You.

Join us all in harmony, Spirit come
