NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF JESUS

Words: John?son Oat?man, Jr.

Music: Edwin O. Excell?

O pil?grim bound for the heav’n?ly land,

Never lose sight of Je?sus;

He’ll lead you gent?ly with lov?ing hand,

Never lose sight of Je?sus.

Refrain:

Never lose sight of Je?sus,

Never lose sight of Je?sus;

Day and night He will lead you right,

Never lose sight of Je?sus.

Whene’er you’re tempt?ed to go as?tray,

Never lose sight of Je?sus;

Press on?ward, up?ward the nar?row way,

Never lose sight of Je?sus.

Tho’ dark the path?way may seem ahead,

Never lose sight of Je?sus;

I will be with you His word hath said,

Never lose sight of Je?sus.

When death is knock?ing out?side the door,

Never lose sight of Je?sus;

Till safe?ly land?ed on Ca?naan’s shore

Never lose sight of Je?sus.?

PRAISE, MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN

Words: Henry F. Lyte

Music: John Goss

Praise, my soul, the King of Hea?ven;

To His feet thy trib?ute bring!

Ransomed, healed, re?stored, for?giv?en,

Who like me His praise should sing?

Praise Him! praise Him!

Praise the ev?er?last?ing King!

Praise Him for His grace and fa?vor

To our fa?thers in dis?tress!

Praise Him still the same for ev?er,

Slow to chide, and swift to bless!

Praise Him! praise Him!

Glorious in His faith?ful?ness.

Fatherlike He tends and spares us;

Well our fee?ble frame He knows.

In His hands He gent?ly bears us,

Rescues us from all our foes.

Praise Him! praise Him!

Widely as His mer?cy flows!

Frail as sum?mer’s flower we flour?ish;

Blows the wind, and it is gone;

But while mor?tals rise and per?ish,

God en?dures un?chang?ing on,

Praise Him, praise Him!

Praise the high eter?nal One!

Angels, help us to adore Him;

Ye be?hold Him face to face:

Sun and moon, bow down be?fore Him,

Dwellers all in time and space.

Alleluia! Al?le?lu?ia!

Praise with us the God of grace!?

I HAVE WALKED WITH SIN, TOO LONG

I Have Walked With Sin, Too Long

Seperate Us, Saviour, Lord

Friend Of Destruction Is He

Save Me Jesus Or I Die

There’s No Benefit I Find

Within My Heart And Body

All Of Them Are Quite Corrupt

Save Me Jesus Or I Die

I Find Life Within Thy Word

Thy Communion Is So Sweet

Sin Doth Hold Me Fast, O Lord

Save Me Jesus, Do Save Me

Will Thou Silently Watch Me

Till I Die ‘Cause Of Weakness

Will Thou Leave Me Unto Sin

God Forbid, Jesus Save Me

Thou Who Knows Me Inside Out

My Efforts Are Known To Thee

You Know All My Strivings Lord

And My Secret Tears You See

Sin Has Put Me In Fetters

Break The Fetters And The Chains

I Will Ever Worship Thee

Jesus My Saviour And Lord?

Words: Anonymous, in Happy Greetings, by Asa Hull?

Music: Harry Sanders

Join your voic?es, youth re?joic?es,

New Year hymns again to sing;

For our new and ma?ny mer?cies,

By Thy hand we still are fed.

Lord of glo?ry! we ad?ore Thee

Now be?fore Thee in ano?ther year;

May Thy heav’n?ly love abid?ing,

Be on ev?ery scho?lar here.

Thou hast kept us, God of glo?ry,

Since the last New Year be?gan;

Still pro?claim?ing the sweet sto?ry,

Of Thy won?drous love to man.

Shall we long?er keep Him wait?ing,

Who for us hath wait?ed long?

He to whom both soul and bo?dy,

Heart and life, and all be?long?

From this mo?ment, Ho?ly Je?sus,

May our hearts be whol?ly Thine!

Then we’ll sing that best of prais?es,

I am His, and He is mine.

Jesus! by Thy blood and Spir?it,

May we all Thy child?ren be,

Then in Thee we shall in?her?it

Happiness eter?nal?ly.?

HE LEADETH ME

Words: Joseph H. Gilmore

Music: William Bradbury

He leadeth me: O blessed thought!

O words with heavenly comfort fraught!

Whate'er I do, where'er I be,

still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:

He leadeth me, he leadeth me;

by his own hand he leadeth me:

his faithful follower I would be,

for by his hand he leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,

sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,

by waters calm, o'er troubled sea,

still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.?

Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,

nor ever murmur nor repine;

content, whatever lot I see,

since 'tis my God that leadeth me.?

And when my task on earth is done,

when, by thy grace, the victory's won,

e'en death's cold wave I will not flee,

since God through Jordan leadeth me.?

THOU HIDDEN SOURCE OF CALM REPOSE

Lyrics: Charles Wesley

Music: Attr. to Dimitri S. Bortniansky

Thou hidden source of calm repose,

thou all-sufficient love divine,

my help and refuge from my foes,

secure I am if thou art mine;

and lo! from sin and grief and shame

I hide me, Jesus, in thy name.

Thy mighty name salvation is,

and keeps my happy soul above,

comfort it brings, and power and peace,

and joy and everlasting love;

to me with thy dear name are given

pardon and holiness and heaven.

Jesus, my all in all thou art,

my rest in toil, my ease in pain,

the healing of my broken heart,

in war my peace, in loss my gain,

my smile beneath the tyrant's frown,

in shame my glory and my crown.

In want my plentiful supply,

in weakness my almighty power,

in bonds my perfect liberty,

my light in Satan's darkest hour,

in grief my joy unspeakable,

my life in death, my heaven in hell.

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.

STANDING ON THE PROMISES

Words and Music: Russell Kelso Carter?

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

? Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:?

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

? I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

? Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

? Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

? Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

? Standing on the promises of God.

GOD OF ALL TIME

Words: Shirley Erena Murray

God of all time, all seasons of our living,

source of our spark, protector of our flame,

blazing before our birth, beyond our dying,

God of all time, we come to sing your name.

Here in this place, where others have been building,

we come to claim the legacy of faith,

take, in our turn the telling of your story,

and, though we tremble, speak your hope, your truth.

Spirit who draws our fragile selves together,

Spirit who turns a stranger to a friend,

be at this table where we greet each other,

be in the peace we pass from hand to hand.

Let us not die from poverty of caring,

let us not starve, where love is to be shared.

Come, break us open to receive your healing:

your broken body be our wine and bread.

WHEN GIVING YOUR GIFTS

WHEN GIVING YOUR GIFTS

Words: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette

Music: Joseph Martin Kraus

When giving your gifts, don't let others see;

don't point to yourselves and say, "Look at me!"

For some think that praise is its own great reward,

but gifts made in secret are blessed by the Lord.

When talking to God, don't be on display;

just go in your room and quietly pray.

And when you are fasting, don't make it a show,

for God is the only one needing to know.

Don't store for yourselves the treasures of earth,

for kept on their shelves, they'll lose what they're worth.

The moth will consume them, the rust will destroy,

and thieves will take all that you hope to enjoy.

O Lord, you have said: Seek treasures above

like sharing of bread and labors of love,

like kindness to strangers and gifts to the poor.

These gifts, given humbly, will surely endure.

Love came down at Christmas,

Love all lovely, love divine;

love was born at Christmas

star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,

love incarnate, love divine;

worship we our Jesus

what shall be our sacred sign?

Love shall be our token,

love be yours and love be mine;

love to God and neighbour,

love for prayer and gift and sign.

Bring we the frankincense of our love

To the feet of the holy Child,

Ever remembering God's great gift

Of a love that is undefiled.

Refrain:

Holy the Infant and holy the mother

And holy and precious the gifts that we bring;

Praise to the Father and praise to the Spirit

And praise to Christ Jesus our King.

Bring we the myrrh of humility?

To the throne of the Son of God,

Ever recalling the purity?

Of His life when the earth He trod.

??

Ever secure in His changelessness,?

Though the kingdoms of earth may fall,

Bring we the gold of our faithfulness

To the King who is Lord of all.

JESUS WILL SAVE THEE

Words: Daniel S. Warner?

Music: Barney E. Warren

Hear ye the moan of a soul that is lost,

O wretched sinner, that spirit is thine;

Jesus will enter thy bosom today,

Turning thy darkness to glory divine.

Refrain:

Jesus will save thee from darkness and woe,

He will redeem thee till whiter than snow.

Sinner, awake to the doom of thy soul,

Fettered by sin, and how soon you must die;

Fly to the Savior this moment, behold,

Jesus invites you to mansions on high.

Hark! From the garden and Calvary’s cross,

Voices that utter God’s wonderful love;

Value, poor sinner, thy soul at its cost,

Seek first its title to heaven above.

Think of eternity, oh, what a word!

Ages unending of darkness or day;

Where will you fix your eternal abode?

Take thy redemption ere life speeds away.

Past mercies slighted can never return,

Future recordeth no promise for thee;

Now is the day of salvation we learn,

Now is the moment, oh, come and be free.

BEHOLD THE GREAT CREATOR MAKES

Behold the great Cre?at?or makes

Himself a house of clay,

A robe of vir?gin flesh He takes

Which He will wear for ay.

Hark, hark, the wise eter?nal word,

Like a weak in?fant cries!

In form of ser?vant is the Lord,

And God in cra?dle lies.

This won?der struck the world am?azed,

It shook the star?ry frame;

Squadrons of spir?its stood and gazed,

Then down in troops they came.

Glad shep?herds ran to view this sight;

A choir of an?gels sings,

And east?ern sag?es with de?light

Adore this King of kings.

Join then, all hearts that are not stone,

And all our voic?es prove,

To ce?le?brate this ho?ly One

The God of peace and love.

THIS IS A DAY OF NEW BEGINNINGS

This is a day of new beginnings

Time to remember and move on

Time to believe what love is bringing

Laying to rest the pain that's gone

For by the life and death of Jesus

Love's mighty Spirit now as then

Can make for us a world of difference

As faith and hope are born again

Then let us with the Spirit's daring

Step from the past and leave behind

Our disappointment guilt and grieving

Seeking new paths and sure to find

Christ is alive and goes before us

To show and share what love can do

This is a day of new beginnings

Our God is making all things new

In faith we'll gather 'round the table

To taste and share what love can do

This is a day of new beginnings

Our God is making all things new

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.

GOD SENT HIS SON

God sent his son;

they called him Jesus;

he came to love, heal and forgive;

he lived and died to buy my pardon;

an empty grave is there

to prove my Saviour lives.

Refrain:

Because he lives I can face tomorrow;

because he lives all fear is gone;

because I know he holds the future,

and life is worth the living

just because he lives.

How sweet to hold a new-born baby,

and feel the pride and joy he gives;

but greater still the calm assurance,

this child can face uncertain days

because he lives.

And then one day I’ll cross the river;

I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;

and then as death gives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory

and I’ll know he lives.
