Hymn #6 [Close] O Worship the Lord C F C G C O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, F C a D G Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim; C F G With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, C Ab G/C a C/G G C Kneel and a-dore Him: the Lord is His name. Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness, High on His heart He will bear it for thee, Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be. Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine; Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, These are the offerings to lay on His shrine. These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, He will accept for the name that is dear; Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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!

We read thee best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame, sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. We read thy power to bless and save e'en in the darkness of the grave; still more in the resurrection light we read the fullness of thy might. O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, Forever safe, forever blest. Hymn #82 [Unknown] D A D G e D E A Before Jehovah's awful throne, D G D e D A Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; D A D G D e D A Know that the Lord is God a- lone; D/F# G e D G D/A A D He can create, and He de-stroy. His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; and when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. We'll crowd His gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill His courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is His command, Vast as Eternity His love; Firm as a rock His truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Hymn #83 G G/B D G G/B C D G D O worship the King, all glorious a-bove, D G G/B D G C G/B G/D D G O grate-ful-ly sing His won-der-ful love; D A/D D G/D D G/D D Our Shield and De-fender, the Ancient of Days, D G G/B D G C G/B G/D D G Pa-vil-ioned in splendor, and gird-ed 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. Hymn #85 [Unknown] C F F/A C Eternal Father, strong to save, G/B a D G G/B D G Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, G G/B C A D Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep B e B e a e/B B e Its own ap-point-ed li- mits keep; e C7 F D7 G Oh hear us when we cry to Thee G/B C D7 C/G G7 C For those in peril on the sea. O Christ, whose voice the waters heard, And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Holy Spirit, who didst brood Upon the waters dark and rude, And bid their angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace: Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Trinity of love and power, All trav'lers shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to The Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. 86 How Great Thou Art (use capo) G a G/B C O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder G D G Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, a G/B C I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, G D G Thy pow'r thro'out the universe displayed, Refrain G/B C G Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; D G How great Thou art, how great Thou art! G/B C G Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; G D7/A G/B C E/B a D G How great Thou art, how great Thou art! When thro' the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin; When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! 87 God Who Spoke in the Beginning?????????? [Unknown] God who spoke in the beginning, Forming rock and shaping spar, Set all life and growth in motion, Earthly world and distant star; He who calls the earth to order Is the ground of what we are. God who spoke thro' men and nations, Thro' events long past and gone, Showing still today His purpose, Speaks supremely through His Son; He who calls the earth to order Gives His word and it is done. God whose speech becomes incarnate- Christ is servant, Christ is Lord- Calls us to a life of service, Heart and will to action stirred; He who uses man's obedience Has the first and final word.

I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food, who formed the creatures thru the Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how thy wonders are displayed, where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky! There's not a plant or flower below, but makes thy glories known, and clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from thy thrown; while all that borrows life from thee is ever in thy care; and everywhere that we can be, thou, God, art present there. 90 Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds [Unknown] (C) F Bb F/A g F d C E- ter-nal God, whose power upholds d g F/A Bb C F Both flower and flaming star, C/E F Bb F/A g F d C To whom there is no here nor there, d g F/A Bb C F No time, no near nor far, d a Bb C d7 C/E F d C No a-lien race, no foreign shore, F/A F g d C No child unsought, unknown: C/E F Bb F/A g F d C O send us forth, Your prophets true, d g F/A Bb C F To make all lands Your own!

O God of beauty, oft revealed In dreams of human art, In speech that flows to melody, In holiness of heart: Teach us to ban all ugliness, And all disharmony, Till all shall know the loveliness Of lives made fair and free! O God of righteousness and grace, Seen in the Christ, Your Son, Whose life and death reveal Your face, By whom Your will was done; Help us to spread Your gracious reign Till greed and hate shall cease, And kindness dwell in human hearts, And all the earth find peace!

This is my Father's world: he shines in all that's fair; in the rustling grass I hear him pass; he speaks to me everywhere. This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad! 98 Can You Count the Stars [Unknown] D A D G/D D Can you count the stars that brightly A D Twinkle in the midnight sky?

A D God, the Lord, doth mark their number A D With His eyes that never slumber; A D G/D D He hath made them every one, A D He hath made them every one. Can you count the wings now flashing In the sunshine's golden light? Can you count the fishes splashing In the cooling waters bright? God, the Lord, a name hath given, To all creatures under heaven; He hath named them every one, He hath named them every one. Do you know how many children Rise each morning blithe and gay? Can you count their jolly voices, Singing sweetly day by day? God hears all the happy voices, In their merry songs rejoices; And He loves them, every one, And He loves them, every one.

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.

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. 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! 101 Children of the Heavenly Father [Unknown] D D/A A Children of the heavenly Fa- ther e G/D A/C# G/D D Safely in His bosom ga- ther; G G/B G G/D D Nestling bird nor star in heav-en D#dim e A A/D D Such a refuge e'er was giv-en. God His own doth tend and nourish, In His holy love they flourish; From all evil things He spares them, In His mighty arms He bears them. Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord His children sever; Unto them His grace He showeth, And their sorrows all He knoweth. Praise the Lord in joyful numbers, Your Protector never slumbers; At the will of your Defender Every foe-man must surrender. Though He giveth or He taketh, God His children ne'er forsaketh; His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure and holy.

Under the shadow of thy throne, still may we dwell secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting, thou art God, to endless years the same. A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home! Hymn # 104 [Unknown] C G C My Shepherd will supply my need: a e C/E e G a F a Je-ho-vah is His Name; a G/B C G C G/B a in pas-tures fresh he makes me feed, e C/E e G a F C beside the living stream. a G F C He brings my wandering spirit back a d a when I forsake his ways, G C G C G a and leads me, for his mercy's sake, e C/E e G a F C in paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death his presence is my stay; one word of his supporting grace drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, his oil anoints my head. The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may thy house be my abode, and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come; no more a stranger, nor a guest, but like a child at home. Hymn # 108 G 7 C G Amazing grace (How sweet the sound!) A/G D/F# D That saved a wretch like me! G 7 C G I once was lost, but now am found, e G/D A/C# D7 G C/G G Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun; We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun! 109 Marvelous Grace G D e D/F# G D G Marvelous grace of our loving Lord.

Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, Threaten the soul with infinite loss; Grace that is greater yes grace untold Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive?

Hope still, and thou shalt sing the praise of him who is thy God, thy health's eternal spring. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory, as it was, is now, and shall be evermore. Hymn #152 D Tell me the story of Jesus, A D Write on my heart every word, D 7 G/B D/A G D Tell me the sto-ry most precious A D Sweetest that ever was heard; G G/D D Tell how the angels, in chorus, A D Sang as they welcomed His birth, G G/D D Glory to God in the highest, A/E E A Peace and good tidings to earth. Refrain D Tell me the story of Jesus, A A Write on my heart every word, D 7 G/B D/A G D Tell me the sto-ry most precious, A D Sweetest that ever was heard. Fasting, alone in the desert, Tell of the days that He passed, How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last; Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore, He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected, and poor. Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how He liveth again; Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see; Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me. 153 Prince of Peace, Control My Will [Unknown] D D/A A Prince of Peace, control my will, e G/D A/C# G/D D Bid this struggling heart be still; G G/B G G/D D Bid my fears and doubtings cease, D#dim e A A/D D Hush my spirit into peace. Thou hast bought me with Thy blood, Opened wide the gate to God; Peace, I ask, but peace must be, Lord, in being one with Thee. May Thy will, not mine, be done, May Thy will and mine be one; Chase these doubtings from my heart, Now Thy perfect peace impart. Hymn #154 F C F Bb D/A g C F When I survey the wondrous cross F Bb/F F Bb F/A C/G F C on which the Prince of Glo-ry died; F C F Bb D/A g C F my richest gain I count but loss, F C d d/C Bb C F and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Hymn #158 acappella Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they pierced him in the side? Were you there when they pierced him in the side? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they pierced him in the side? Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Hymn #159 G C On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, a D G The emblem of suffering and shame, C And I love that old cross where the dearest and best a D G For a world of lost sinners was slain. REFRAIN: D G (C/G G) So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, C G Till my trophies at last I lay down; 7 C I will cling to the old rugged cross, G/D D G And exchange it some day for a crown. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me, For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary. To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share. Hymn #163 [Unknown] D Alas! and did my Savior bleed, G D/F# A/E D A and did my Sovereign die? D Would he devote that sacred head G D/A A D for someone such as I? Refrain D At the cross, at the cross, A where I first saw the light, D and the burden of my heart rolled away; G G/B G G/B D it was there by faith I re-ceived my sight, e/G A D and now I am happy all the day! Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do!

Hymn #181 [Unknown] C F/C C Does Jesus care when my heart is pained G C Too deeply for mirth and song; C F As the burdens press, and the cares distress, C G7 C And the way grows weary and long? Refrain C G C O yes, He cares- I know He cares! G/D D G His heart is touched with my grief; C When the days are weary, F The long nights dreary, C G 7 C I know my Savior cares. (He cares.) 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 said goodbye To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks ­ Is it aught to Him? Does He see? Hymn #183 [Unknown] A E A I Will sing of Jesus love, E A Sing of Him, who first loved me; A D for He left bright worlds above, A/E E A And died on Calvary. Refrain A D A I will sing of Jesus love E Endless praise my heart shall give; f# D He has died that I might live A/E E A I will sing His love to me. O the depths of love divine! Earth or heaven can never know How that sin as dark as mine can be made as white as snow. Nothing good for Him I've done; How could He such love bestow? Lord, I own my heart is won, help me now my love to show. Hymn #184 D I hear the Savior say, A D "Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, D/A A D Find in Me thine all in all." Refrain D Jesus paid it all, A All to Him I owe; D G Sin had left a crimson stain; G#dim D/A A D He washed it white as snow. Lord, now indeed I find Thy power, and Thine alone, Can change the leper's spots, And melt the heart of stone. Since nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim, I'll wash my garment white In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, I'll lay my trophies down, All down at Jesus' feet. Hymn #185 [Unknown] G C/G G G/D D G Jesus is all the world to me, G/B D G my life, my joy, my all; D G he is my strength from day to day, D/A A D 7 without him I would fall.

Jesus is all the world to me, my friend in trials sore; I go to him for blessings, and he gives them o'er and o'er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, he sends the harvest's golden grain; sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, he's my friend. Jesus is all the world to me, and true to him I'll be; O how could I this friend deny, when he's so true to me? Following him I know I'm right, he watches o'er me day and night; following him by day and night, he's my friend. Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust him now, I'll trust him when life's fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend, beautiful life that has no end; eternal life, eternal joy, he's my friend. Hymn #186 [Unknown] G D I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! G He loved me ere I knew Him; C He drew me with the cords of love, G/D D G And thus He bound me to Him. D G And 'round my heart still closely twine G/B C A G/D D Those ties which nought can sever, G C For I am His, and He is mine, G/D D G Forever and forever. I've found a Friend; oh, 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; oh, such a Friend! All power to Him is given; To guard me on my upward course, And bring me safe to heaven. The eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever. I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a counselor and guide, So mighty a defender. From Him, who loveth me so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth, or hell? No; I am His forever. 187 Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners [Unknown] F F/A Bb d g C Jesus! what a Friend for sinners! F F/C F/A d Bb C F Jesus!

By the crystal flowing river With the ransomed I will sing, And forever and forever, Praise and glorify the King.

Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. Finish, then, thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee; changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

"There shall be showers of blessing;" Send them upon us, O Lord; Grant to us now a refreshing; Come, and now honor Thy word. "There shall be showers of blessing;" O that today they might fall, Now as to God were confessing, Now as on Jesus we call! Hymn #196 [Unknown] Tell Me the Old, Old Story A D/A A f# A/E E Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Of unseen things above, A D A/E E A Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love; E A B7 E Tell me the story simply, As to a little child, A D A/E E A For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled. Refrain A D A E A Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry A D A/E E A Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Of Jesus and His love. Tell me the story softly, With earnest tones and grave; Remember I'm the sinner Whom Jesus came to save; Tell me the story always, If you would really be, In any time of trouble, A comforter to me. Tell me the same old story, When you have cause to fear That this world's empty glory Is costing me too dear; Yes, and when that world's glory Is dawning on my soul, Tell me the old, old story: "Christ Jesus makes thee whole." Hymn #197 [Unknown] G D C/E G G/B D7 e The King of love my shepherd is, D/F# G A/E G/D D whose goodness faileth ne- ver; G a D G D/F# B e I nothing lack if I am his, C G/D D G/D D7 G and he is mine for-ev-er. Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth, and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love He sought me, and on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought 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.

Refrain (N/C) G D D D (N/C) D G G G A-maz-ing love! How can it be (N/C) C C/E C G a/C G/D D G that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? He left his Father's throne above so free, so infinite his grace!; emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, for O my God, it found out me! Long my imprisoned sprit lay, fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine; alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach th' eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. 200 The Lord Is Coming [Unknown] (C) F F/C C The Lord is coming, let this be F Bb F/C C F The herald note of ju- bi-lee; (C) F F/C C And when we meet and when we part F Bb F/C C F The salutation from the heart.

The lov'd of earth who have long been parted, Meet in that glad day; The tears of those who are broken hearted shall be wiped away.

Face to face to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who loves me so.

Crown him the Lord of peace! whose power a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

For thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. 224 Seek Ye First the Kingdom [Unknown] F d Bb F/A g C Seek ye first the kingdom, 'Tis your Father's will.

As for hidden treasure, Or for matchless pearl, When at last discovered, some will sell their all: So, when breaks the vision of that kingdom fair, Ours shall be its riches and its beauty rare. As the silent leaven works its secret way, Or as grows the seed grain through the night and day; Lord, so be the increase, peaceable but sure, Of Thy word within us, And Thy kingdom's power. As the tender seedling grows up tall and strong, And the birds of heaven to its branches throng; So shall all God's children, from the east and west, Gather to His kingdom, In its shadow rest. Humblest shall be greatest, poor in spirit reign; Home shall come the childlike, born through Thee again Eager hearts arrive there on the pilgrim's road, Hail! the kingdom glorious of the living God!

People and realms of every tongue dwell on his love with sweetest song; and infant voices shall proclaim their early blessings on his Name. Blessings abound where e'er he reigns: the prisoner leaps to lose his chains, the weary find eternal rest, and all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring peculiar honors to our King; angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud Amen.

Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all. To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all.

Thou didst accept their praises; accept the prayers we bring, who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious King.

Hymn #241 [Unknown] G G/B C E/B a D G Jesus, the very thought of thee a G D/F# G A7/E D with sweetness fills my breast; a A D A/D D but sweeter far thy face to see, G/B C C/E G/D D G and in thy pres-ence rest. No voice can sing, no heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Jesus' name, The Savior of mankind. O hope of every contrite heart! O joy of all the meek, to those who fall, how kind thou art! How good to those who seek! But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but his loved ones know. Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, and through eternity.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me. He speaks, and listening to his voice, new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your savior come, and leap, ye lame, for joy. 251 He Lives G I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today; B7 e A D I know that He is living, whatever men may say; G I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer A D And just the time I need Him He's always near.

O the height of Jesus' love! Higher than the heaven above, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lasting as eternity; Love that found me-wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not! Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own; Safe with Him from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life.

Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone. When my pilgrimage I close, Victor o'er the last of foes, When I soar to worlds unknown, and behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.

Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Nought as an offering to Jesus my King- Only my sinful now contrite heart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine; Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride; Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last; Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages, ever to be, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

C G D G Faith of our fathers! holy faith! G C e D G We will be true to thee till death. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children's fate, If they, like them, could die for thee! Faith of our fathers! holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. 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. Faith of our fathers! holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. 305 Give Me Jesus F/C C a In the morning when I rise, e/G F G7 C In the morning when I rise, F/C C 7 F In the morning when I rise, e/G G C F C Give me Je- sus.

Its members every moment Held subject to Thy call, Ready to have Thee use them, Or not be used at all; Held without restless longing, Or strain, or stress, or fret Or chafings at Thy dealings, Or thoughts of vain regret. But restful, calm, and pliant, From bend and bias free, Awaiting Thy decision, When Thou hast need of me. Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings! Be Thou the glorious answer To all my questionings. 317 Lead Me to Calvary [Unknown] D G D King of my life, I crown Thee now, A Thine shall the glory be; D G D Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, D/F# G D/A A D Lead me to Cal-va-ry.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. Thou dying Lamb!, thy precious blood shall never lose its power till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more; till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die; redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought, free reward A golden harp for me! A golden harp for me! A golden harp for me! For me a blood-bought, free reward A golden harp for me! There in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue Is ransomed from the grave, Is ransomed from the grave, Is ransomed from the grave, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue Is ransomed form the grave.

G G/B D G G/B D G O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, C G/D D G/D D G and give him the glo-ry, great things he hath done! O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, to every believer the promise of God; the vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done, and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son; but purer, and higher, and greater will be our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise. Sure as thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.

Elect from every 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 every grace endued. Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed; yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, "How long?" and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blessed, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. Hymn #350 F C F Blest be the tie that binds Bb F C our hearts in Christian love; F C F the fellowship of kindred minds Bb/F F Bb F/C C F is like to that a-bove. 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 each other's woes, our mutual burdens bear; and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.
