07 December 2019 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!"

09 December 2019 PRAISE, MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN Words: Henry Francis Lyte Music: John Goss Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, to his feet your tribute bring; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who like you his praise should sing? Alleluia, alleluia! praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favour to our fathers in distress; praise him, still the same as ever, slow to blame and swift to bless; Alleluia, alleluia! glorious in his faithfulness. Father-like, he tends and spares us, All our hopes and fears he knows; in his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes: Alleluia, alleluia! widely as his mercy flows. Angels, help us to adore him; you behold him face to face; sun and moon, bow down before him, praise him all in time and space. Alleluia, alleluia! praise with us the God of grace.

10 December 2019 LIFT UP TO GOD THE VOICE OF PRAISE Words: Ralph Ward?law Music: Al?ex?an?der R. Rei?na?gle Lift up to God the voice of praise, Whose breath our souls inspired; Loud and more loud the anthem raise, With grateful ardor fired. Lift up to God the voice of praise, Whose tender care sustains Our feeble frame, encompassed round With death’s unnumbered pains. Lift up to God the voice of praise Whose goodness, passing thought, Loads every minute, as it flies, With benefits unsought. Lift up to God the voice of praise From whom salvation flows; Who sent His Son our souls to save From everlasting woes. Lift up to God the voice of praise, For hope’s transporting ray, Which lights through darkest shades of death To realms of endless day. (Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/l/u/t/lu2gtvop.htm)

11 December 2019 GOD IS WATCHING YOU Words: Sam (Leslie) Phillips When your life's about to start - God is watching you, When you have a shattered heart - God is watching you, When you're a slave and when you're freed - God is watching you, When what you call "love" is really need - God is watching you, God is watching you, God is watching you. When you wake up in the night - God is watching you, When you're dancing in the light - God is watching you, When you don't need to use force - God is watching you, When you don't ever feel remorse - God is watching you, God is watching you, God is watching you. When you're a hero to us all - God is watching you, When you take that fated fall - God is watching you, When you hide your head in the sand - God is watching you, When you find a brand new land - God is watching you, God is watching you, God is watching you. When, out of fear, you judge your friend - God is watching you, When you let a stranger in - God is watching you, When you always have to win - God is watching you, When love requires that you give in - God is watching you, God is watching you, God is watching you. When you play the cards you're dealt - God is watching you, When you won't reveal yourself - God is watching you, When you believe, enough to die - God is watching you, When you say your last goodbye.

12 December 2019 LOOKING UNTO JESUS Lyrics and Music: Frances Ridley Havergal Looking unto Jesus, Never need we yield! Over all the armor, Faith the battle-shield! Standard of salvation, In our hearts unfurled, Let its elevation Overcome the world. Refrain: Looking unto Jesus, Never need we yield! Over all the armor, Faith the battle-shield! Look away to Jesus, Look away from all! Then we need not stumble, Then we shall not fall. From each snare that lureth, Foe or phantom grim, Safety this ensureth, Look away to Him. Looking into Jesus, Wond’ringly we trace Heights of power and glory, Depths of love and grace. Vistas far unfolding Ever stretch before, As we gaze, beholding, Ever more and more. Looking up to Jesus On the emerald throne, Faith shall pierce the heavens, Where our King is gone. Lord, on Thee depending, Now, continually, Heart and mind ascending, Let us dwell with Thee.

13 December 2019 ONE DAY AN ANGEL HERE ON THIS EARTH Words: Alison M. Robertson One day an angel here on this earth spoke of God's presence coming to birth. Mary was listening; humbly her heart sang at the Word God chose to impart. Mary gave birth in Bethlehem's cave, blessed by the child God chose her to have. Love was the reason God had become close to his mother, far from her home. Out in the fields a heavenly throng broke through the dark with resonant song. Shepherds, who saw God's glory by night, sped on their way to worship the Light. Jesus, your Spirit, shining with care, speaks to the world you treasure and share. Come with the human touch of your birth; find in our hearts your home on this earth. (Source: https://hymnary.org/text/one_day_an_angel_here_on_this_earth)

14 December 2019 GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY Words: William Cowper Music: Jeremy Casella God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm. Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, The clouds you so much dread, Are big with mercy, and shall break, With 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.

Give and forgive at Christmas time; Live and let live at Christmas time; From deepest depth and highest height, Be praise to God and glory bright; At Christmas time, at Christmas time.

18 December 2019 JESU, JESU, FILL US WITH YOUR LOVE Words: Tom Colvin Refrain: Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love, Show us how to serve the neighbors we have from you. Kneels at the feet of his friends, Silently washes their feet, Master who acts as a slave to them. Neighbors are wealthy and poor, Varied in color and race, Neighbors are near us and far away. These are the ones we should serve, These are the ones we should love, All these are neighbors to us and you. Loving puts us on our knees, Silently washing their feet, This is the way we should live with you. (Source: https://www.hopepublishing.com/find-hymns-hw/hw2982.aspx. ? 1997 Hope Publishing Company)

He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the moon direct the night; His mercies ever shall endure When suns and moons shall shine no more. He sent His Son with pow’r to save From guilt and darkness and the grave; Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song. Through this vain world He guides our feet And leads us to His heav’nly seat; His mercies ever shall endure When this our world shall be no more.

21 December 2019 MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE Words: Ray Palm?er Music: Lo?well Ma?son My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away, O let me from this day be wholly Thine! May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire! As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee, Pure warm, and changeless be, a living fire! While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away, Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside. When ends life’s transient dream, When death’s cold sullen stream shall o’er me roll; Blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul!

22 December 2019 SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT Text: Joseph Mohr Music: Franz Gruber Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin Mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born! Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light; Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Silent night, holy night, Wondrous star, lend thy light; With the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King; Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!

23 December 2019 MY TIMES ARE IN THY HAND My times are in thy hand; My God, I wish them there; My life, my friends, my soul, I leave Entirely to thy care. My times are in thy hand; Whatever they may be; Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, As best may seem to thee. My times are in thy hand; Why should I doubt or fear? My Father's hand will never cause His child a needless tear. My times are in thy hand; Jesus the Crucified; Those hands my cruel sins had pierced Are now my guard and guide.

24 December 2019 YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME Words and Music: Al?on?zo B. Brag?don Thro’ the bleak and dreary street, Where the cold winds keenly blow, See, a child with bare, chilled feet, Wandering on ’mid ice and snow; Houseless, homeless, God’s own Word Shall its precious comfort be, “As ye did it unto these, Ye have done it unto Me.” In an attic cold and bare, ’Mid the dropping of the rain, See, a woman, gaunt and wan, Stitch from morn till morn again, Fainting, famished, Christian man, Does not God appeal to thee, “As ye did it unto these, Ye have done it unto Me” When you pass the orphan by, With averted look of scorn; While the lone one toils and sighs, Faint and weak from morn to morn: Think, there soon shall come a day, When thy God shall say to thee, “As ye did it unto these, Ye have done it unto Me.” (Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/y/e/h/yehavedo.htm)

Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.

26 December 2019 THY LIFE WAS GIVEN FOR ME Lyrics: Frances Ridley Havergal Music: Philip Paul Bliss Thy Life was giv’n for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, That I might ransomed be, And quickened from the dead; Thy Life was giv’n for me, for me; What have I giv’n for Thee? Long years were spent for me In weariness and woe, That through eternity Thy glory I might know; Long years were spent for me, for me; Have I spent one for Thee? Thy Father’s home of light, Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone; Yea, all was left for me, for me; Have I left aught for Thee? Thou, Lord, hast borne for me More than my tongue can tell Of bitterest agony, To rescue me from hell; Thou suff’redst all for me, for me; What have I borne for Thee? And Thou hast brought to me Down from Thy home above Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love; Great gifts, great gifts Thou broughtest me; What have I brought to Thee? Oh, let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent; World-fetters all be riven, And joy with suff’ring blent; Thou gav’st Thyself for me, for me, I give myself to Thee.
