COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
开云体育16 December 2024 COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS Lyrics: Johnson Oatman Jr.? Music: Edwin Othello Excell? When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. ? Refrain: Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God hath done; Count your blessings, name them one by one, ? ? And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by. When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold. Count your many blessings, money cannot buy Your reward in heaven, nor your Lord on high. So amid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged, God is over all; Count your many blessings, angels will attend, Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Refrain: Oh, make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, ? To bear away my sin. Was it the nails, O Savior, That bound Thee to the tree? Nay, ’twas Thine everlasting love, Thy love for me, for me. Oh, wonder of all wonders, That through Thy death for me, My open sins, my secret sins, Can all forgiven be. Then melt my heart, O Savior, Bend me, yea, break me down, Until I own Thee Conqueror, And Lord and Sov’reign crown. (Source:?https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/159) |

SO LET OUR LIPS AND LIVES EXPRESS
开云体育13 December 2024 SO LET OUR LIPS AND LIVES EXPRESS Words: Isaac Watts So let our lips and lives express The holy Gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine. Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honours of our Saviour God, When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth, and love, Our inward piety approve. Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on His Word.

Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot; To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt; Fightings within, and fears without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind; Yes, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, Thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! (Source:?https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/1048) |

TO THE ARK AWAY, OR PERISH
开云体育09 December 2024 TO THE ARK AWAY, OR PERISH Words: Thomas Kelly Music: William Blow, Jr. To the ark away, or per?ish: Sinners, to the ark away; Vain the hope, that thou?sands cher?ish, Of de?li?ver?ance in that day; When de?struct?ion Cometh, that no arm can stay. Sinners, be ad?vised, and haste ye To the ark that op?en lies; Why, O why, in fol?ly waste ye Precious time that quick?ly flies? Soon your laugh?ter Will be turned to mourn?ful cries. Hear the Lord Him?self in?vite you, To His arms, a re?fuge sure; O be?lieve Him, lest He smite you With a curse that none can cure; When He thun?ders, Who His an?ger can endure? They are safe, and none be?side them, Who the Sav?ior’s word obey; They are safe, for He will hide them In the dark and gloomy day; He will hide them Till the storm has passed away. Then a bright and glo?ri?ous sea?son Shall suc?ceed, and ne?ver end; Hear Him then, for there is rea?son: Jesus is the sin?ner’s friend; Safe His peo?ple, Nothing shall His saints of?fend.

MY SOUL, REPEAT HIS PRAISE
开云体育08 December 2024 MY SOUL, REPEAT HIS PRAISE Words: I Watts Music: J. H. G. Naegeli My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. High as the heavens are raised Above the earth we tread, So far the riches of God's grace Our highest thoughts exceed. His power subdues our sin; And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Did all our guilt remove. Man's life is as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And all Thy people ever find Thy word of promise sure. (Source:?http://www.stempublishing.com/hymns/ss/349) |

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
开云体育07 December 2024 ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall: with the poor, and meek, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. And our eyes at last shall see Him, through His own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heav'n above, and He leads His children on to the place where He is gone. Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God’s right hand on high; when like stars His children crowned all in white shall wait around.

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION
开云体育06 December 2024 HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION Words: John Rippon Music: Joeseph Funk ? 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? "In ev'ry condition in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth; At home or abroad, on the land, on the sea, As days may demand, shall thy strength ever be. "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 the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow, For I will be with thee, thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. "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 endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

ALL THAT I AM I OWE TO THEE
04 December 2024 ALL THAT I AM I OWE TO THEE All that I am I owe to thee, Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me; I give my Maker thankful praise, Whose wondrous works my soul amaze. Ere into being I was brought, Thine eye did see, and in thy thought My life in all its perfect plan Was ordered ere my days began. Thy thoughts, O God, how manifold, More precious unto me than gold! I muse on their infinity, Awaking I am still with thee. The wicked thou wilt surely slay, From me let sinners turn away; They speak against the name divine, I count God's enemies as mine. Search me, O God, my heart discern, Try me, my inmost thought to learn; And lead me, if in sin I stray, To choose the everlasting way. ? (Source: http://www.opc.org/hymn.html?hymn_id=28) |

GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY
开云体育?02 December 2024 GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY Lyrics: William Cowper? Music: William Jones God moves in a mysterious way ? His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, ? And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines ? Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, ? And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; ? The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break ? In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, ? But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence ? He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, ? Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, ? But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, ? And scan His work in vain; God is His own Interpreter, ? And He will make it plain.? (Source:?https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/675) |

ABIDING AND CONFIDING
开云体育01 December 2024 ABIDING AND CONFIDING Words: Albert B. Simpson Music: Leander L. Pickett I have learned the wondrous secret Of abiding in the Lord; I have found the strength and sweetness Of confiding in His word; I have tasted life’s pure fountain, I am drinking of His blood, I have lost myself in Jesus, I am sinking into God. Refrain: I’m abiding in the Lord, And confiding in His word, And I’m hiding, safely hiding, In the bosom of His love. I am crucified with Jesus, And He lives and dwells in me, I have ceased from all my struggling, ’Tis no longer I but He; All my will is yielded to Him, And His Spirit reigns within, And His precious blood each moment Keeps me cleansed and free from sin. All my cares I cast upon Him, And He bears them all away; All my fears and griefs I tell Him, All my needs from day to day; All my strength I draw from Jesus, By His breath I live and move; E’en His very mind He gives me And His faith and life and love. For my words I take His wisdom, For my works His Spirit’s pow’r, For my ways His gracious presence Guards and guides me every hour; Of my heart He is the Portion, Of my joy the ceaseless Spring, Savior, Sanctifier, Keeper, Glorious Lord and loving King.?

LEAVE IT THERE
开云体育30 November 2024 LEAVE IT THERE Words: Charles Albert Tindley? ?If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, And you have to get along with meager fare, Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Refrain: Leave it there, leave it there, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain, And your soul is almost sinking in despair, Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.? When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail, Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer; He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.? When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on, And your body bends beneath the weight of care, He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.?
