I AM RESOLVED

Lyrics: Palmer Hartsough

Music: James H. Fillmore

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.

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

Words: Cecil Frances Alexander

Refrain:

All things bright and beautiful,

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful:

the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

each little bird that sings,

God made their glowing colors,

and made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,

the river running by,

the sunset and the morning

that brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,

the pleasant summer sun,

the ripe fruits in the garden:

God made them every one.

God gave us eyes to see them,

and lips that we might tell

how great is God Almighty,

who has made all things well.

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE

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 isn't pardoning that we are pardoned

In giving to all men let we receive

And in dying that we're born to turn around

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

Where there's despair in life let me bring hope

Where there is darkness, only light

And where there's sadness ever joy

HELP US ACCEPT EACH OTHER

HELP US ACCEPT EACH OTHER

Lyrics: Fred Kaan

Help us accept each other

as Christ accepted us;

teach us as sister, brother,

each person to embrace.

Be present, Lord, among us

and Bring us to believe:

we are ourselves accepted

and meant to love and live.

Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,

as in our daily life

we struggle to be human

and search for hope and faith.

Teach us to care for people,

for all - not just for some,

to love them as we find them

or as they may become.

Let your acceptance change us

so that we may be moved

in living situations

to do the truth in love;

to practice your acceptance

until we know by heart

the table of forgiveness

and laughter's healing art.

Lord, for today's encounters

with all who are in need,

who hunger for acceptance,

for justice and for bread,

we need new eyes for seeing,

new hands for holding on:

renew us with your Spirit;

Lord, free us, make us one!

GLORY BE TO THE GOD THE FATHER

Lyrics: J. F. Garland

Music: Ira David Sankey

Glory be to God the Father,

? And to Christ the Son,

Glory to the Holy Spirit—

? ? Ever One.

As we view the vast creation,

? Planned with wondrous skill,

So our hearts would move to worship,

? ? And be still.

But, our God, how great Thy yearning

? To have sons who love

In the Son e’en now to praise Thee,

? ? Love to prove!

’Twas Thy thought in revelation,

? To present to men

Secrets of Thine own affections,

? ? Theirs to win.

So in Christ, through His redemption

? (Vanquished evil powers!)

Thou hast brought, in new creation,

? ? Worshippers!

Glory be to God the Father,

? And to Christ the Son,

Glory to the Holy Spirit—

? ? Ever One.

ALL DEPENDS ON OUR POSSESSING

ALL DEPENDS ON OUR POSSESSING

All depends on our possessing

God's free grace and constant blessing,

though all earthly wealth depart.

They who trust with faith unshaken

by their God are not forsaken

and will keep a dauntless heart.

God, who hitherto has fed me

and to many joys has led me,

is and ever shall be mine.

God, who did so gently school me

and who daily guides and rules me,

will remain my help divine.

When with sorrow I am stricken,

hope my heart anew will quicken,

all my longing shall be stilled.

To your loving kindness tender

all my being I surrender;

Lord, on you alone I build.

Well you know what best to grant me;

all the longing hopes that haunt me,

joy and sorrow, have their day.

I shall doubt your wisdom never;

as you will, so be it ever;

I commit to you my way.

If on earth my days should lengthen,

God, my weary soul still strengthen;

all my trust in you I place.

Earthly wealth is not abiding;

like a stream away it's gliding;

safe I anchor in your grace.?

BE THOU MY VISION

Lyrics: Eleanor Hull

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.?

AMAZING GRACE

Lyrics: John Newton??

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun.?

BLESSED ASSURANCE

Lyrics: Frances J. Crosby

Music: Phoebe P. Knapp??

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

Angels, descending, bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Savior am happy and blest,

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.?

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!

Lyrics: Horatio Gates Spafford?

Music: Philip Paul Bliss? ?

When peace like a river attendeth my way,

? When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,

? “It is well, it is well with my soul!”

?

Refrain:

It is well with my soul!

It is well, it is well with my soul!

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

? Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,

? And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—

? My sin, not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;

? Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;

? If dark hours about me shall roll,

No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life

? Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.?

WAITING BY THE RIVER

We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,

Only wait?ing for the boat?man,

Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Refrain:

We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,

We are wait?ing on the shore,

Only wait?ing for the boat?man,

Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Though the mist hang o’er the river,

And its bi?llows loud?ly roar,

Yet we hear the song of an?gels,

Wafted on the oth?er shore.

From the bright ce?les?ti?al ci?ty,

We have caught such ra?di?ant gleams,

Of its tow?ers like dazz?ling sun?light,

With its sweet and peace?ful streams.

He has called for ma?ny a loved one,

We have seen them leave our side,

With our Sav?ior we shall meet them,

When we, too, have crossed the tide.

When we’ve passed that vale of sha?dows,

With its dark and chill?ing tide;

In that bright and glo?ri?ous ci?ty

We shall ev?er?more abide.?

WHEN IN OUR MUSIC GOD IS GLORIFIED

Words: Fred Pratt Green?

When in our music God is glorified,

And adoration leaves no room for pride,

It is as though the whole creation cried:

Alleluia!

How often, making music, we have found

A new dimension in the world of sound,

As worship moved us to a more profound

Alleluia!

So has the Church, in liturgy and song,

In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,

Borne witness to the truth in every tongue:

Alleluia!

And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night?

When utmost evil strove against the light?

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:

Alleluia!

Let every instrument be tuned for praise!

Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!

And may God give us faith to sing always:

Alleluia!?

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND

Words: Edward Mote

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain:

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

In every rough and stormy gale,

my anchor holds within the vale.

When all around my soul gives way,

he then is all my hope and stay.?

Not earth, nor hell, my soul can move;

I rest upon unchanging love.

I trust his righteous character,

his counsel, promise, and his power.?

When he shall come with trumpet sound,

oh, may I then in Him be found,

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

faultless to stand before the throne.?

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

Words: Arthur C Ainger

Music: Millicent D. Kingham

God is working his purpose out,

as year succeeds to year:

God is working his purpose out,

and the time is drawing near:

nearer and nearer draws the time,

the time that shall surely be,

when the earth shall be filled

with the glory of God,

as the waters cover the sea.

From utmost east to utmost west,

wherever foot has trod,

by the mouth of many messengers

rings out the voice of God:

Listen to me you continents,

you islands look to me,

that the earth may be filled

with the glory of God,

as the waters cover the sea.

We shall march in the strength of God,

with the banner of Christ unfurled,

that the light of the glorious gospel of truth

may shine throughout the world;

we shall fight with sorrow and sin

to set their captives free,

that the earth may be filled

with the glory of God,

as the waters cover the sea.

All we can do is nothing worth

unless God blesses the deed;

vainly we hope for the harvest-tide

till God gives life to the seed:

nearer and nearer draws the time,

the time that shall surely be,

when the earth shall be filled

with the glory of God,

as the waters cover the sea.
