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.?

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!?

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 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 of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

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

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.

JESUS WILL SAVE THEE

Words: Daniel S. Warner?

Hear ye the moan of a soul that is lost,

O wretched sinner, that spirit is thine;

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.
