08 May 2025 FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST, TO DIE IS GAIN Refrain: For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. To hold His hand and walk His narrow way. There is no peace, no joy, no thrill, Like walking in His will. For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. Now once my heart was full of sin and shame. 'Til someone told me Jesus came to save. When He said "Come home to me" He set my poor heart free. For me to live is Christ, to die is gain Now there are things that I still do not know, But of this one thing I'm completely sure: He who called me on that day washed all my sin away. For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. (Source: http://www.godsongs.net/2014/05/for-me-to-live-is-christ-to-die-is-gain.html)

06 May 2025 THOU SHALT BE COMFORTED Words: Charles W. Naylor Music: Andrew L. Byers O soul bowed down with grief and care, With burdens many, hard to bear, Look up, look up, for God is there— Thou shalt be comforted. Refrain: Thou shalt be comforted, Thou shalt be comforted; For God thy tears shall wipe away, And bring to thee a brighter day; For in His Word the Lord doth say, “They shall be comforted.” He enters into all thy woe, Thine every sorrow He doth know, His tender sympathy He’ll show— Thou shalt be comforted. Look up, and thou His face shalt see, And know that He thy help shall be; His pity draws Him near to thee— Thou shalt be comforted. A precious soothing balm is He, The healer of thy wounds He’ll be, And trusting Him thy soul shall see— Thou shalt be comforted.

05 May 2025 GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT Words: Arthur C. Ainger Music: Martin Shaw 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, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, "Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. March we forth 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. Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth shall 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. Yet 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.

04 May 2025 O MASTER, LET ME WALK WITH THEE Lyrics: Washington Gladden Music: Henry Percy Smith O Master, let me walk with Thee In lowly paths of service free; Tell me Thy secret, help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care. Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the Godward way. Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee In closer, dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong. In hope that sends a shining ray Far down the future’s broad’ning way, In peace that only Thou canst give, With Thee, O Master, let me live. (Source: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/905)

03 May 2025 CONSTANTLY ABIDING Lyrics and Music: Anne S. Murphy There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave, A peace it cannot take away; Though the trials of life may surround like a cloud, I’ve a peace that has come here to stay! Refrain: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine; Constantly abiding, rapture divine; He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O so kind: “I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine. All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King, When peace sweetly came to my heart; Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day, Blessèd Jesus, how glorious Thou art! This treasure I have in a temple of clay, While here on His footstool I roam; But He’s coming to take me some glorious day, Over there to my heavenly home!

02 May 2025 JESUS LOVES EVEN ME Lyrics and Music: Philip P. Bliss I am so glad that our Father in Heav’n Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n; Wonderful things in the Bible I see, This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me. Refrain: I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me; I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me. If I forget Him and wander away, Still He doth love me wherever I stray; Back to His dear loving arms would I flee, When I remember that Jesus loves me. Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing, When in His beauty I see the great King, This shall my song through eternity be, “Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!” Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him; Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem; Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree; Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me! If one should ask of me, how can I tell? Glory to Jesus, I know very well! God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree, Constantly witnessing Jesus loves me. In this assurance I find sweetest rest, Trusting in Jesus, I know I am blest; Satan, dismayed, from my soul now doth flee, When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.

01 May 2025 TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS Lyrics: Louisa M. R. Stead Music: William James Kirkpatrick ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His word; Just to rest upon His promise; Just to know, Thus saith the Lord. Refrain: Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er, Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more. O how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood; Just in simple faith to plunge me, ’Neath the healing, cleansing flood. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking Life, and rest, and joy, and peace. I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end. (Source: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/568)

30 April 2025 DAYS AND MOMENTS QUICKLY FLYING Words: Edward Caswall Music: John Bacchus Dykes Days and moments quickly flying Blend the living with the dead; Soon our bodies will be lying Each within its narrow bed. Soon our souls to God Who gave them Will have sped their rapid flight: Able now by grace to save them, O that, while we can, we might! Jesus, infinite Redeemer, Maker of this mighty frame, Teach, O teach us to remember What we are, and whence we came. Whence we came and whither wending, Soon we must through darkness go, To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, O wake each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice. Soon before the Judge all glorious We with all the dead shall stand: Savior, over death victorious, Place us then on Thy right hand. (Source: http://ehymnbook.org/CMMS/hymnSong.php?id=pd08165)

29 April 2025 THINK GENTLY OF THE ERRING ONE Think Gently Of The Erring One! O, Let Us Not Forget, However Darkly Stained By Sin, He Is Our Brother Yet. Heir Of The Same Inheritance, Child Of The Self-Same God, He Hath But Stumbled In The Path We Have In Weakness Trod. Speak Gently To The Erring Ones! We Yet May Lead Them Back, With Holy Words And Tones Of Love, From Misery’s Thorny Track. Forget Not, Brother, Thou Hast Sinned, And Sinful Yet May Be; Deal Gently With The Erring Heart, As God Hath Dealt With Thee.

28 April 2025 KIND WORDS CAN NEVER DIE Lyrics: Anonymous Music: Abby H. Patton Kind words can never die; cherished and blest, God knows how deep they lie, stored in the breast; Like childhood’s simple rhymes, said o’er a thousand times, Go through all years and climes, the heart to cheer. Refrain 1: Kind words can never die, never die, never die; Kind words can never die, no, never die. Sweet thoughts can never die, though, like the flow’rs, Their brightest hues may fly in wintry hours; But when the gentle dew gives them their charms anew, With many an added hue they bloom again. Refrain 2: Sweet thoughts can never die, never die, never die; Sweet thoughts can never die, no, never die. Our souls can never die, though in the tomb We all may have to lie, wrapped in its gloom; What though the flesh decay, souls pass in peace away, Live though eternal day, with Christ above. Refrain 3: Our souls can never die, never die, never die; Our souls can never die, no, never die. (Source: http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Kind_Words_Can_Never_Die/)

25 April 2025 SOFTLY AND TENDERLY Words and Music: Will L. Thompson Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me. Refrain: Come home, come home, You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home! Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me? Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming for you and for me. Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me! Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me.

24 April 2025 YOU FORMED US IN YOUR IMAGE, LORD Words: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette You formed us in your image, Lord; You call us your own children. In you, each one is loved, adored — Unique among the millions. Bless, Lord, the families Who know the joy: Christ claims and frees! Bless, too, the ones who weep, Forgetting that you love them. You made our homes to honor you With love the strong foundation. In serving God and neighbor too, We find our life's vocation. Bless families large and small Who love and serve you when you call. Bless, too, the ones who fear — Whose trust and love are shattered. Christ loved and honored family, Yet showed us what is greater. He taught a higher loyalty To God our good Creator. Bless, Lord, the ones who long To build up homes where faith is strong. Bless children, women, men Who risk to serve your kingdom. In home and church our faith is formed; We learn your love and caring. From here we're called to face the storm, Your love and justice bearing. Each day your Spirit sends! We go to strangers, neighbors, friends. Peace, justice, joy we bring To all your human family.

Refrain: Footprints of Jesus, That make the pathway glow; We will follow the steps of Jesus Where’er they go. Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains, Seeking His sheep; Or along by Siloam’s fountains, Helping the weak. If they lead through the temple holy, Preaching the Word; Or in homes of the poor and lowly, 开云体育 the Lord. Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping, We follow Thee; Through the gloom of that place of weeping, Gethsemane! If Thy way and its sorrows bearing, We go again, Up the slope of the hillside, bearing Our cross of pain. By and by, through the shining portals, Turning our feet, We shall walk, with the glad immortals, Heav’n’s golden street. Then, at last, when on high He sees us, Our journey done, We will rest where the steps of Jesus End at His throne. (Source: http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Footprints_of_Jesus/)

22 April 2025 DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN Words: Fanny Crosby Music: W. Howard Doane Onward go the sun?beams, Shining all the day; Looking down upon us, Now they seem to say: Let your smile be cheer?ful, Ever warm and bright, Make the hearts around you Happy with its light. Refrain: Marching on to?ge?ther, Thro’ this fleet?ing world be?low, Helping one ano?ther Onward as we go; Think of what a bless?ing, God the Fa?ther gave to man, Try and do for oth?ers All the good you can; Let your smile be cheer?ful, Ever warm and bright, Make the hearts around you Happy with its light. Hearts and hands to Je?sus, Gladly we will give, In the path of du?ty, Walking while we live; Cheering on the sad ones, Lifting those that fall, Shining like the sun?beams, Doing good to all. With a lov?ing spir?it, While the days are bright, Let us work re?joic?ing, Till the dewy night; Grateful for the bless?ings Jesus brought to man, Let us do for oth?ers All the good we can.

21 April 2025 ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME Words: Augustus M. Toplady Music: Thomas Hastings Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's commands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

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.

17 April 2025 COME, LIVING GOD, WHEN LEAST EXPECTED Words: Alan Gaunt Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame, or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in ardent youth or mellow age. Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us as vivid truth and living Lord, exploding doubt and disillusion to scatter hope and joy abroad. Then we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for those in darkness, faith's delight.

God from on high re?cords your thoughts, His book re?cords your sec?ret faults; The works of dark?ness you have done Must all ap?pear be?fore the Sun. The ven?geance to your foll?ies due Should strike your hearts with ter?ror thro’: How will ye stand be?fore His face, Or an?swer for His in?jured grace?
