    Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

    Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, 

    Pilgrim through this barren land; 

    I am weak, but Thou art mighty—

    Hold me with Thy powerful hand: 

    Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, 

    Feed me 'til I want no more, 

    Feed me 'til I want no more. 


    Open now the crystal fountain, 

    Whence the healing stream doth flow; 

    Let the fire and cloudy pillar 

    Lead me all my journey through: 

    Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, 

    Be Thou still my strength and shield, 

    Be Thou still my strength and shield. 


    When I reach the river Jordan, 

    Bid my anxious fears subside; 

    Bear me through the swelling current, 

    Land me safe on Canaan's side: 

    Songs of praises, songs of praises

    I will ever give to Thee, 

    I will ever give to Thee. 


    Amen. 


    He Is Lord

    He is Lord, He is Lord! 

    He is risen from the dead and He is Lord! 

    Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess

    That Jesus Christ is Lord. 


    Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

    Dear Lord and Father of mankind, 

    Forgive our foolish ways! 

    Reclothe us in our rightful mind; 

    In purer lives Thy service find, 

    In deeper reverence, praise. 


    In simple trust like theirs who heard, 

    Beside the Syrian sea, 

    The gracious calling of the Lord, 

    Let us, like them, without a word, 

    Rise up and follow Thee


    O sabbath rest by Galilee! 

    O calm of hills above! 

    Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee

    The silence of eternity, 

    Interpreted by love. 


    Drop Thy still dews of quietness

    'Til all our strivings cease; 

    Take from our souls the strain and stress, 

    And let our ordered lives confess

    The beauty of Thy peace. 


    Amen.

    Be Thou My Vision

    Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; 

    Nought 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, I Thy true son; 

    Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. 


    Riches I heed not, nor man's 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. 


    Amen. 


    Now Thank We All Our God

    Now thank we all our God

    With hearts and hands and voices, 

    Who wondrous things hath done, 

    In whom His world rejoices; 

    Who, from our mothers' arms, 

    Hath blessed us on our way

    With countless gifts of love, 

    And still is ours today. 


    O may this bounteous God

    Through all our life be near us, 

    With ever joyful hearts

    And blessed peace to cheer us

    And keep us in His grace, 

    And guide us when perplexed, 

    And free us from all ills

    In this world and the next. 


    Amen. 


    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! 

    O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! 

    All ye who hear, 

    Now to His temple draw near; 

    Join me in glad adoration! 


    Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, 

    Shelters thee under His wings, yes, so gently sustaineth! 

    Has thou not seen 

    How all thy longings have been 

    Granted in what He ordaineth?


    Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee; 

    Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. 

    Ponder anew 

    What the Almighty can do, 

    If with His love He befriend thee. 


    Amen

    Great is Thy Faithfulness

    Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! 

    There is no shadow of turning with Thee; 

    Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not: 

    As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

    O Lord, have mercy on me. 


    Let us drink wine together on our knees; 

    Let us drink wine together on our knees; 

    When I fall on my knees, 

    With my face to the rising sun, 

    O Lord, have mercy on me. 


    Let us praise God together on our knees; 

    Let us praise God together on our knees; 

    When I fall on my knees, 

    With my face to the rising sun, 

    O Lord, have mercy on me.

    Benediction

    Postlude


    How Firm a Foundation

    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?


    "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed, 

    For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; 

    I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, 

    Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 


    "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 its foes; 

    That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, 

    I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"


    Blest Be the Tie that Binds

    Blest be the tie that binds

    Our hearts in Christian love; 

    The fellowship of kindred minds

    Is like to that above. 


    Before our Father's throne

    We pour our ardent prayers; 

    Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, 

    Our comforts and our cares. 


    We share each other's woes, 

    Each other's burdens bear; 

    And often for each other flows

    The sympathizing tear. 


    From sorrow, toil, and pain, 

    And sin we shall be free; 

    And perfect love and joy shall reign

    Through all eternity. 


    Amen. 


    They'll Know We Are Christians by Our Love

    We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, 

    We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, 

    And we pray that all unity may one day be restored:


    Chorus:

    And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love, 

    Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love. 


    We will walk with each other we will walk hand in hand, 

    We will walk with each other we will walk hand in hand, 

    And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land:


    [Chorus]


    We will work with each other, we will work side by side, 

    We will work with each other, we will work side by side, 

    And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride: 


    [Chorus]


    A-all praise to the Father, from whom all things come, 

    And all praise to Christ Jesus, His o-only Son, 

    And all praise to the Spirit, who makes us one:


    [Chorus]

    Jesus my Lord. 


    Precious Lord, Take My Hand

    Precious Lord, take my hand, 

    Lead me on, help me stand; 

    I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; 

    Thru the storm, thru the night, 

    Lead me on to the light, 

    Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. 


    When my way grows drear, 

    Precious Lord, linger near; 

    When my life is almost gone, 

    Hear my cry, hear my call, 

    Hold my hand lest I fall; 

    Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

    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 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 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 cannot fall, 

    Listening every moment to the Spirit's call, 

    Resting in my Savior as my all in all- 

    Standing on the promises of God!

    We Are God's People

    We are God's people, the chosen of the Lord, 

    Born of His Spirit, established by His Word; 

    Our cornerstone is Christ alone, 

    And strong in Him we stand: 

    O let us live transparently, 

    And walk heart to heart and hand in hand. 


    We are God's loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord, 

    For we have known it, the love of God our poured; 

    Now let us learn how to return 

    The gift of love once given: 

    O let us share each joy and care, 

    And live with a zeal that pleases Heaven. 


    We are the Body of which the Lord is Head, 

    Called to obey Him, now risen from the dead; 

    He wills us be a family 

    Diverse yet truly one: 

    O let us give our gifts to God, 

    And so shall His work on earth be done. 


    We are a Temple, the Spirit's dwelling place, 

    Formed in great weakness, a cup to hold God's grace; 

    We die alone, for on its own 

    Each ember loses fire: 

    Yet joined in one the flame burns on 

    To give warmth and light, and to inspire. 


    The Bond of Love

    We are one in the bond of love, 

    We are one in the bond of love; 

    We have joined our spirit with the Spirit of God, 

    We are one in the bond of love. 


    Let us sing now, everyone, 

    Let us feel His love begin; 

    Let us join our hands that the world will know

    We are one in the bond of love. 


    Have Thine Own Way, Lord!

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! 

    Thou art the potter, I am the clay! 

    Mold me and make me after Thy will, 

    While I am waiting, yielded and still. 


    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! 

    Search me and try me, Master, today! 

    Whiter than snow, Lord, Wash me just now, 

    As in Thy presence humbly I bow. 


    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! 

    Wounded and weary, help me, I pray! 

    Power—all power—surely is Thine! 

    Touch me and heal me, Savior divine! 


    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! 

    Hold o'er my being absolute sway! 

    Fill with Thy Spirit 'til all shall see

    Christ only, always, living in me! 


    Amen

    Come Christians, Join to Sing

    Come, Christians, join to sing 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    Loud praise to Christ our King; 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    Let all, with heart and voice, 

    Before His throne rejoice; 

    Praise is His gracious choice: 

    Alleluia! Amen!


    Come, lift you hearts on high; 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    Let praises fill the sky; 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    He is our Guide and Friend; 

    To us He'll condescend; 

    His love shall never end: 

    Alleluia! Amen!


    Praise yet our Christ again; 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    Life shall not end the strain; 

    Alleluia! Amen!

    On heaven's blissful shore 

    His goodness we'll adore, 

    Singing forevermore,

    "Alleluia! Amen!"


    Amen. 


    Near to the Heart of God

    There is a place of quiet rest, 

    Near to the heart of God; 

    A place where sin cannot molest, 

    Near to the heart of God. 

    O Jesus, blest Redeemer, 

    Sent from the heart of God, 

    Hold us, who wait before Thee, 

    Near to the heart of God. 


    Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

    Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, 

    God of glory, Lord of love; 

    Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, 

    Opening to the sun above. 

    Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, 

    Drive the dark of doubt away; 

    Giver of immortal gladness, 

    Fill us with the light of day. 


    All Thy works with joy surround Thee, 

    Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays, 

    Stars and angels sing around Thee, 

    Center of unbroken praise. 

    Field and forest, vale and mountain, 

    Flowery meadow, flashing sea, 

    Chanting bird and flowing fountain, 

    Call us to rejoice in Thee. 


    Mortals, join the happy chorus 

    With the morning stars began; 

    Father love is reigning o'er us, 

    Brother love binds man to man. 

    Ever singing, march we onward, 

    Victors in the midst of strife, 

    Joyful music leads us sun-ward 

    In the triumphs song of life. 


    Amen.
