SOFTLY AND TENDERLY
开云体育25 April 2025 SOFTLY AND TENDERLY Words and Music: Will L. Thompson Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me. Refrain: Come home, come home, You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home! Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me? Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming for you and for me. Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me! Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me.

开云体育24 April 2025 YOU FORMED US IN YOUR IMAGE, LORD Words: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette You formed us in your image, Lord; You call us your own children. In you, each one is loved, adored — Unique among the millions. Bless, Lord, the families Who know the joy: Christ claims and frees! Bless, too, the ones who weep, Forgetting that you love them. You made our homes to honor you With love the strong foundation. In serving God and neighbor too, We find our life's vocation. Bless families large and small Who love and serve you when you call. Bless, too, the ones who fear — Whose trust and love are shattered. Christ loved and honored family, Yet showed us what is greater. He taught a higher loyalty To God our good Creator. Bless, Lord, the ones who long To build up homes where faith is strong. Bless children, women, men Who risk to serve your kingdom. In home and church our faith is formed; We learn your love and caring. From here we're called to face the storm, Your love and justice bearing. Each day your Spirit sends! We go to strangers, neighbors, friends. Peace, justice, joy we bring To all your human family.

ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME
开云体育21 April 2025 ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME Words: Augustus M. Toplady Music: Thomas Hastings Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's commands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER
18 April 2025 GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER Words: 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.

COME, LIVING GOD, WHEN LEAST EXPECTED
开云体育17 April 2025 COME, LIVING GOD, WHEN LEAST EXPECTED Words: Alan Gaunt Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame, or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in ardent youth or mellow age. Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us as vivid truth and living Lord, exploding doubt and disillusion to scatter hope and joy abroad. Then we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for those in darkness, faith's delight.

God from on high re?cords your thoughts, His book re?cords your sec?ret faults; The works of dark?ness you have done Must all ap?pear be?fore the Sun. The ven?geance to your foll?ies due Should strike your hearts with ter?ror thro’: How will ye stand be?fore His face, Or an?swer for His in?jured grace? Almighty God! turn off their eyes From these al?lur?ing va?ni?ties; And let the thun?der of Thy Word Awake their souls to fear the Lord.

Ride on, ride on in majesty, in lowly pomp ride on to die; O Christ, your triumph now begin o'er captive death and conquered sin. Ride on, ride on in majesty, the last and fiercest foe defy; the Father on his sapphire throne awaits his own anointed Son. Ride on, ride on in majesty, in lowly pomp ride on to die; bow your meek head to mortal pain, then take, O God, your power and reign!

OH! WHAT, IF WE ARE CHRIST’S
开云体育12 April 2025 OH! WHAT, IF WE ARE CHRIST’S Words: Henry W. Baker Music: Louis Bourgeois Oh! what, if we are Christ’s, Is earth?ly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glo?ry be When we have borne the cross. Keen was the tri?al once, Bitter the cup of woe, When mar?tyred saints, bap?tized in blood, Christ’s suf?fer?ings shared be?low: Bright is their glo?ry now, Boundless their joy ab?ove, Where, on the bo?som of their God, They rest in per?fect love. Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sor?row, grief or pain May be our por?tion here. Enough if Thou at last The word of bless?ing give, And let us rest be?neath Thy feet, Where saints and an?gels live. All glo?ry, Lord, to Thee, Whom Heav’n and earth adore; To Fa?ther, Son, and Ho?ly Ghost, One God for?ev?er?more. (Source:?http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/o/w/i/w/owiwac.htm) |

LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL
开云体育11 April 2025 LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL Lyrics: Ernest W. Shurtleff Music: Henry T. Smart Lead on, O King eternal, the day of march has come; henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be our home. Through days of preparation thy grace has made us strong; and now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song. Lead on, O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease, and holiness shall whisper the sweet amen of peace. For not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums; with deeds of love and mercy the heavenly kingdom comes. Lead on, O King eternal, we follow, not with fears, for gladness breaks like morning where'er thy face appears. Thy cross is lifted o'er us, we journey in its light; the crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might. (Source:?http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh580.sht) |

THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD
开云体育10 April 2025 THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD Lyrics and Music: James McGranahan Ho, reapers in the whitened harvest! Oft feeble, faint and few; Come, wait upon the blessed Master, Our strength He will renew. Refrain: For “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, They shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint; They shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint; They shall run and not be weary, shall walk and not faint.” Too oft aweary and discouraged, We pour a sad complaint; Believing in a living Saviour, Why should we ever faint? Rejoice! For He is with us alway, Lo, even to the end! Look up! Take courage and go forward— All needed grace He’ll send! (Source:?http://www.hymnpod.com/2010/05/27/they-that-wait-upon-the-lord/) |

PUT PEACE INTO EACH OTHER'S HANDS
09 April 2025 PUT PEACE INTO EACH OTHER'S HANDS Words: Fred Kaan Put peace into each other's hands and like a treasure hold it; protect it like a candle flame, with tenderness enfold it. Put peace into each other's hands with loving expectation; be gentle in your words and ways, in touch with God's creation. Put peace into each other's hands, like bread we break for sharing; look people warmly in the eye: our life is meant for caring. As at communion, shape your hands into a waiting cradle; the gift of Christ receive, revere, united round the table. Put Christ into each other's hands, he is love's deepest measure; in love make peace, give peace a chance and share it like a treasure.

Though faith and hope awhile be tried, I ask not, need not aught beside: How safe, how calm, how satisfied, The souls that cling to thee.

PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD
开云体育06 April 2025 PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD Put thou thy trust in God, In duty’s path go on; Walk in His strength with faith and hope So shall thy work be done. Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. Through waves, and clouds, and storms He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own His way How wise, how strong His hand. Thou seest our weakness, Lord; Our hearts are known to Thee; O lift? Thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee. Let us, in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare, And publish, with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care.

O FOR A WORLD
开云体育05 April 2025 O FOR A WORLD O for a world where everyone respects each other's ways, where love is lived and all is done with justice and with praise. O for a world where goods are shared and misery relieved, where truth is spoken, children spared, equality achieved. We welcome one world family and struggle with each choice that opens us to unity and gives our vision voice. The poor are rich, the weak are strong, the foolish ones are wise. Tell all who mourn, outcasts belong, who perishes will rise. O for a world preparing for God's glorious reign of peace, where time and tears will be no more, and all but love will cease.

TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN
开云体育04 April 2025 TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN To be at peace with ev'ry man Each faithful soul desires, For which they do the best they can, Like as Saint Paul requir's. Their aim is not revenge to seek, Nor yet in malice live: But like their Saviour humble meek And freely will forgive. To wrath and spite they give no place But keep their Lord in view; They pray for his renewing grace To bear his Image too. Their charity to all extends, They feel for other's grief, They pitty foes as well as friends, And pray for their relief. They help in ev'ry time of need; And with a liberal hand; The naked cloath, the hungry feed, As Jesus gave command. O may the Lord impress my mind With love and christian faith, To be affectionate and kind As the Apostle saith. (Source:?https://hymnary.org/text/to_be_at_peace_with_every_man) |
