GIVE THANKS FOR LIFE

GIVE THANKS FOR LIFE

Words: Shirley Erena Murray?

Give thanks for life, the measure of our days,
mortal, we pass through beauty that decays,
yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Give thanks for those who made their life a light
caught from the Christ flame, bursting thro' the night,
who touched the truth, who burned for what is right,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

And for our own, our living and our dead,
thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
a love not changed by time or death or dread,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain
lying in darkness does its life retain
in resurrection to grow green again,
Alleluia! Alleluia!?

WHAT SHALL WE OFFER OUR GOOD LORD?

Words: August G. Spangenberg
Music: Orlando Gibbons?

What shall we of?fer our good Lord,
Poor no?things! for His bound?less grace!
Fain would we His great name re?cord,
And wor?thi?ly set forth His praise.

Great ob?ject of our grow?ing love,
To whom our more than all we owe,
Open the fount?ain from above,
And let it our full souls o’er?flow.

So shall our lives Thy pow?er pro?claim,
Thy grace for ev?ery sin?ner free;
Till all man?kind shall learn Thy name,
Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee.

Open a door which earth and hell
May strive to shut, but strive in vain;
Let Thy Word rich?ly in us dwell,
And let our gra?cious fruit re?main.

O mul?ti?ply the sow?er’s seed!
And fruit we ev?ery hour shall bear,
Throughout the world Thy Gos?pel spread,
Thy ev?er?last?ing truth de?clare.

We all, in per?fect love re?newed,
Shall know the great?ness of Thy pow?er;
Stand in the tem?ple of our God,
As pil?lars, and go out no more.?

COME NEAR ME

Words: George W. Lloyd
Music: John W. Bischoff?

Come near me, O my Sav?ior;
Thy ten?der?ness re?veal;
O, let me know the sym?pa?thy
Which Thou for me dost feel;
I need Thee ev?ery mo?ment;
Thine ab?sence brings dis?may;
But when the tempt?er hurls his darts,
’Twere death with Thee away.

Come near me, my Re?deem?er,
And ne?ver leave my side;
My bark, when tossed on trou?ble’s sea,
The storm can?not out?ride
Unless the word of pow?er
Arrest the surg?ing wave;
No voice but Thine its rage can quell,
No arm but Thine can save.

Come near me, bless?èd Je?sus,
I need Thee in my joy;
No less than when the dir?est ills
My hap?pi?ness de?stroy;
For when the sun shines o’er me
And flow?ers strew the way,
Without Thy wise and guid?ing hand
More ea?si?ly I stray.

Be near me, migh?ty Sav?ior,
When comes the lat?est strife;
For Thou hast thro’ death’s sha?dows passed,
And oped the gates of life;
And when among the ran?somed
I stand with crown and palm,
To Thee, di?vine, un?fail?ing Friend,
I’ll raise eter?nal psalm.?

MY SOUL PROCLAIMS WITH WONDER

Lyrics: 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.?

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE

Lyrics: Christopher West

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.?

WINNING SOULS FOR JESUS

Lyrics: James Bruce Mackay

Rouse, ye Christian workers, be ye up and doing,
Shall the Master’s kingdom suffer at your hands?
There are precious souls just waiting for your wooing,
Go ye forth and win them, Christ your Lord commands.

Refrain:
Winning souls, winning souls, winning souls for Jesus,
O what joy in winning souls from the downward way;
Out upon the highways, seeking to reclaim them,
O be up and winning souls, while ‘tis call’d today.

Wait no longer for some more convenient season,
Souls are dying ‘round you, let them not be lost;
Talk or sing of Jesus they will yield to reason,
Tell of their redemption, what a price it cost.?

Do your spirits falter at the undertaking,
Lest one might repay you with a cruel sneer?
Do not let them perish stand no longer quaking,
Win them for the Master, tell them He is near.?

Ev’ry soul you win shall add a star of beauty
To the crown of glory Jesus has for you;
Always thus be working, doing all your duty,
Winning souls for Jesus, they will bless you too.?

WEARY NOT IN WELL DOING

Lyrics: Helen Reyburn

Let us be patient, patient,
Think of the growing grain,
How long it lies in the darksome earth,
Nurtured by sun and rain.

Refrain:
Waiting, praying, striving day by day,
Something to do for the Master’s sake,
Something for Him to say.

Let us be patient, patient,
Strive as the grain to grow;
The tender grass and the ripening ear,
Heralds the corn we know.?

Let us be patient, patient,
Day after day to gain,
Till fully ripe all our sheaves may be
Gathered like golden grain.?

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF BLESSING

Lyrics and Music: Harper G. Smyth

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Refrain:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying,
The Savior Who died on the cross?

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the Word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

TRUST AND OBEY

Words: John H. Sammis

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 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 blest 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.

OH THE LOVE THAT US REDEEM?D

Words: Arthur T. Russell

Oh the love that us re?deemèd!
Who can all that love ex?plore?
From the cross on us it beam?èd,
Angel hosts that love, ad?ore;
Wondrous love from Heav’n des?cend?ing,
Men to raise to life on high!
Be our praise to Him as?cend?ing
Who for sin?ners deigned to die!

Holy Lamb of God! we bless Thee:
Thou our sins hast borne away;
King of kings our songs con?fess Thee,
Light of ev?er?last?ing day!
What though still the world dis?own Thee,
Thou o’er Heav’n and earth dost reign;
In our hearts we, Lord, en?throne Thee,
Thou wilt not our love dis?dain.

For Thy sor?rows we ad?ore Thee,
For the griefs that wrought our peace:
Gracious Sav?ior! we im?plore Thee,
In our hearts Thy love in?crease.
Lord, to Thee in sor?row fly?ing,
May we find in Thee our rest:
Lord, on Thee in death re?ly?ing,
May our end in Thee be blest.

LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, YE MIGHTY GATES

Lyrics: Georg Weissel
Music: Psalmodia Evangelica

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;
behold, the King of glory waits;
the King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior of the world is here!

Fling wide the portals of your heart;
make it a temple, set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy.

Redeemer, come, with us abide;
our hearts to thee we open wide;
let us thy inner presence feel;
thy grace and love in us reveal.

Thy Holy Spirit lead us on
until our glorious goal is won;
eternal praise, eternal fame
be offered, Savior, to thy name!

I am resolved no longer to linger,
Charmed by the world’s delight,
Things that are higher, things that are nobler,
These have allured my sight.

Refrain:
I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.
I will hasten, hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.

I am resolved to go to the Savior,
Leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true One, He is the just One,
He hath the words of life.

I am resolved to follow the Savior,
Faithful and true each day;
Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth,
He is the living Way.

I am resolved to enter the kingdom
Leaving the paths of sin;
Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me,
Still will I enter in.

Be Thou My Vision Lyrics
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art -
thou my best thought, by day or by night;
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father; thine own may I be,
thou in me dwelling and I one with thee.

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
thou mine inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only first in my heart,
high King of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

HAVE I DONE ANY GOOD?

Words & Music: Will L. Thompson

Have I done any good in the world to?day?
Have I helped any?one in need?
Have I cheered up the sad,
And made some?one feel glad?
If not, I have failed in?deed.
Has any?one’s bur?den been light?er to?day,
Because I was will?ing to share?
Have the sick and the weary
Been helped on their way?
When they need?ed my help, was I there?

Refrain:
Then wake up and do some?thing more
Than dream of your man?sion above;
Doing good is a plea?sure,
A joy be?yond mea?sure,
A bless?ing of du?ty and love.

There are chanc?es for work all around just now,
Opportunities right in our way;
Do not let them pass by,
Saying Some?time I’ll try,
But go and do some?thing to?day.
’Tis no?ble of man to work and to give,
Love’s la?bor has mer?it alone;
Only he who does some?thing
Is wor?thy to live,
The world has no use for the drone.

For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing?

GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER

Words: Howard B. Grose

Give of your best to the Master
Give of the strength of your youth
Armed with the sword of salvation
Join in the battle for truth
Jesus has set the example
His Life for others He gave
Give Him your loyal devotion
Give Him the best that you have

Give of your best to the Master
Give Him first place in your heart
Give Him first place in your service
Fully surrender each part
Give and to you shall 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

Are more than the foes which as?sail.

Though dark?ness sur?round you by day,

Oh, I'll stand up for myself, and what I believe in,
I'll stand up for myself, and for my rights, too.
Yes, I'll stand up for myself, and what I believe in,
and I'll do it in a way that respects your rights, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!

I can take charge of my life; that's one thing I believe in,
I can take charge of my life; it's my right to do.
I will take charge of my life---and I'll be glad that I did it!
It's not only my right, it's my responsibility, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!

You can take charge of your life, and stand up for what you believe in,
You can take charge of your life; it's your right to do.
You can take charge of your life---you'll be glad that you did it.
It's not only your right; it's your responsibility, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!

So...
We'll stand up for ourselves and what we believe in,
We'll stand up for ourselves and for our rights, too.
Yes, we'll stand up for ourselves and what we believe in,
and we'll do it in a way that respects others' rights, too.
