IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!

Lyrics: Horatio Gates Spafford?
Music: Philip Paul Bliss? ?

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!”
?
Refrain:
It is well with my soul!
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—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
? My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
? Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
? If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
? Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.?

WAITING BY THE RIVER

Words: Mary P. Griffin
Music: Asa Hull??

We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,
We are wait?ing on the shore,
Only wait?ing for the boat?man,
Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Refrain:
We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,
We are wait?ing on the shore,
Only wait?ing for the boat?man,
Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Though the mist hang o’er the river,
And its bi?llows loud?ly roar,
Yet we hear the song of an?gels,
Wafted on the oth?er shore.

From the bright ce?les?ti?al ci?ty,
We have caught such ra?di?ant gleams,
Of its tow?ers like dazz?ling sun?light,
With its sweet and peace?ful streams.

He has called for ma?ny a loved one,
We have seen them leave our side,
With our Sav?ior we shall meet them,
When we, too, have crossed the tide.

When we’ve passed that vale of sha?dows,
With its dark and chill?ing tide;
In that bright and glo?ri?ous ci?ty
We shall ev?er?more abide.?

WHEN IN OUR MUSIC GOD IS GLORIFIED

Words: Fred Pratt Green?

When in our music God is glorified,
And adoration leaves no room for pride,
It is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!

How often, making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!

So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
Alleluia!

And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night?
When utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!

Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia!?
?

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

 

22 January 2025

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

Words: Arthur C Ainger
Music: Millicent D. Kingham

God is working his purpose out,
as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near:
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.

From utmost east to utmost west,
wherever foot has trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
rings out the voice of God:
Listen to me you continents,
you islands look to me,
that the earth may be filled
with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.

We shall march in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world;
we shall fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled
with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.

All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed:
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.

WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING

Lyrics: Anna Louisa Walker Coghill?
Music: Lowell Mason

Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.

Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute,
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is darkening,
When man’s work is o’er.

COME DOWN, O LOVE DIVINE

Words: Richard F Littledale?
Music: Roger Mayor

Come down, O Love divine!
seek out this soul of mine
and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.

There let it freely burn
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and make my pathway clear, by your illuming.

Let holy charity
my outward vesture be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart
which takes the humbler part,
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

And so the yearning strong
with which the soul will long
shall far surpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace
till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

FROM HEAVEN YOU CAME, HELPLESS BABE

FROM HEAVEN YOU CAME, HELPLESS BABE

Words: Graham Kendrick

From heaven you came, helpless babe,
entered our world, your glory veiled,
not to be served but to serve
and give your life that we might live.

This is our God, the Servant King;
he calls us now to follow him,
to bring our lives as a daily offering
of worship to the Servant King.

#There in the garden of tears
my heavy load he chose to bear;
his heart with sorrow was torn,
‘Yet not my will, but yours,’ he said.

Come see his hands and his feet,
the scars that speak of sacrifice,
hands that flung stars into space,
to cruel nails surrendered.

So let us learn how to serve
and in our lives enthrone him,
each other’s needs to prefer,
for it is Christ we’re serving.

ANCIENT WORDS

Words: Lynn DeShazo

Holy words long preserved
for our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart;
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Words of life, words of hope
give us strength, help us cope;
In this world where'er we roam
ancient words will guide us home.

Refrain:
Ancient words ever true,
changing me and changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
oh let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our faith
handed down to this age,
Came to us through sacrifice;
Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ.?

Martyr's blood stains each page,
they have died for this faith;
Hear them cry through the years;
Heed these words and hold them dear.

PRAISE TO THE LIVING GOD!

Praise to the living God!
All praised be His name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
For aye the same!
The one eternal God
Ere aught that now appears:
The First, the Last,
beyond all thought
His timeless years!

Formless, all lovely forms
Declare His loveliness;
Holy, no holiness of earth
Can His express.
Lo, he is Lord of all!
Creation speaks His praise,
And everywhere, above, below,
His will obeys.

His Spirit floweth free,
High surging where it will:
In prophet's word
He spoke of old,
He speaketh still.
Established is His law,
And changeless it shall stand,
Deep writ upon the human heart,
On sea, on land.

Eternal life hath He
Implanted in the soul;
His love shall be
our strength and stay,
While ages roll.
Praise to the living God!
All praised be His name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
For aye the same.

GOD, WHO MADE THE EARTH

Words: Sarah Betts Bradshaw Rhodes
Music: Hermann von M?ller

God, Who made the earth,
The air, the sky, the sea,
Who gave the light its birth,
He cares for me.

God, Who made the grass,
The flower, the fruit, the tree,
The day and night to pass,
He cares for me.

God, Who made the sun,
The moon, the stars, is He
Who, when life's clouds come on,
He cares for me.

God, Who made all things,
On earth, in air, in sea,
Who if I lean on Him,
Will care for me.

God who sent his Son
To die on Calvary,
He, if I lean on him,
Will care for me.

When in Heaven's bright land
I all His loved ones see,
I'll sing with that blest band,
"God cared for me."?

MY SOUL PROCLAIMS WITH WONDER

Words: Carll P. Daw, Jr.

My soul proclaims with wonder
The greatness of the Lord
Rejoicing in God's goodness
My spirit is restored
To me has God shown favor
To one the world thought frail
And ever age will echo
The angel's first all hail

God's mercy shields the faithful
And saves them from defeat
With strength that turns
To scatter the proud in their conceit
The mighty have been vanquished
The lowly lifted up
The hungry find abundance
The rich an empty cup

To Abraham's descendants
The Lord will steadfast prove
For God has made with Israel
A covenant of love
My soul proclaims with wonder
the greatness of the Lord;
rejoicing in God's goodness
my spirit is restored.?

I do not know why oft ’round me
My hopes all shat?tered seem to be;
God’s per?fect plan I can?not see,

Refrain:
Some day He’ll make it plain to me,
Some day when I His face shall see;
Some day from tears I shall be free,
For some day I shall un?der?stand.

I can?not tell the depth of love,
Which moves the Fa?ther’s heart above;
My faith to test, my love to prove,
But some day I’ll un?der?stand.

Tho’ tri?als come thro’ pass?ing days,
My life will still be filled with praise;
For God will lead thro’ dark?ened ways,
But some day I’ll un?der?stand.?

LIVING FOR JESUS A LIFE THAT IS TRUE

Lyrics: Thomas Obediah Chisholm?
Music: Carl Harold Lowden

Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.

Refrain:?
O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to Thee,
For Thou, in Thy redemption,
Didst give Thyself for me;
I own no other Master,
My heart shall be Thy throne,
My life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus who died in my place,
Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace;
Such love constrains me to answer His call,
Follow His leading and give Him my all.

Living for Jesus wherever I am,
Doing each duty in His holy name;
Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.?

GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER

Lyrics: Howard B. Grose?
Music: Charlotte A. Barnard

Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth;
Throw your soul’s fresh, glowing ardor
Into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example,
Dauntless was He, young and brave;
Give Him your loyal devotion;
Give Him the best that you have.

Refrain:
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth;
Clad in salvation’s full armor,
Join in the battle for truth.

Give of your best to the Master;
Give Him first place in your heart;
Give Him first place in your service;
Consecrate every part.
Give, and to you will be given;
God His beloved Son gave;
Gratefully seeking to serve Him,
Give Him the best that you have.

Give of your best to the Master;
Naught else is worthy His love;
He gave Himself for your ransom,
Gave up His glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur,
You from sin’s ruin to save;
Give Him your heart’s adoration;
Give Him the best that you have.?

HIGHER GROUND

Lyrics: Johnson Oatman, Jr.?
Music: Charles H. Gabriel

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”?

OPEN MY EYES THAT I MAY SEE

Lyrics and Music: Clara H. Scott

Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.

Refrain:
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
? ? Spirit Divine!

Open my ears that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

Open my mouth and let me bear
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

Open my mind that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.?

TRUST AND OBEY

Lyrics: John H. Sammis
Music: Daniel B. Towner

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.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them 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.?

OF ALL THE SPIRIT'S GIFTS TO ME

Words: Fred Pratt Green

Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
To take and treasure most these three:
Love, joy, and peace.

He shows me love is at the root
Of every gift sent from above,
Of every flower, of every fruit,
That God is love.

He shows me that if I possess
A love no evil can destroy,
However great is my distress,
Then this is joy.

Though what's ahead is mystery,
And life itself is ours on lease,
Each day the Spirit says to me:
Go forth in peace!

We go in peace- but made aware
That in a needy world like this
Our clearest purpose is to share
Love, joy, and peace.?
