All People That on Earth Do Dwell

All people that on earth do dwell, 

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; 

Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell, 

Come ye before Him and rejoice. 

Know that the Lord is God indeed: 

Without our aid He did us make; 

We are His folk, He doth us feed, 

And for His sheep He doth us take. 

O enter then His gates with praise, 

Approach with joy His courts unto; 

Praise, laud, and bless His name always, 

For it is seemly so to do. 

For why? the Lord our God is good, 

His mercy is forever sure; 

His truth at all times firmly stood, 

And shall from age to age endure. 

Breathe on Me, Breath of God

Breathe on me, Breath of God, 

Fill me with life anew, 

That I may love what Thou dost love, 

And do what Thou wouldst do. 

Breathe on me, Breath of God, 

Until my heart is pure, 

Until with Thee I will one will

To do and to endure.

Postlude

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, 

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 

Thy power throughout the universe displayed: 

CHORUS:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee: 

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; 

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: 

[CHORUS]

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, 

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; 

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, 

He bled and died to take away my sin: 

[CHORUS]

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take my home, what joy shall fill my heart! 

Then I shall bow in humble adoration, 

And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

[CHORUS]

Standing on the Promises

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 of the promises of God!

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of Christ, my savior

Standing, standing,

I'm 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, standing,

Standing on the promises of Christ, my savior

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God

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!"

To God be the Glory

To God be the glory—great things He hath done! 

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, 

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, 

And opened the lifegate that all may go in. 

CHORUS:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the earth hear His voice! 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the people rejoice! 

O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, 

And give Him the glory—great things He hath done. 

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, 

To every believer the promise of God; 

The vilest offender who truly believes, 

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. 

[CHORUS]

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, 

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; 

But purer, and higher, and greater will be 

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. 

[CHORUS]

Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult

Jesus calls us o'er the tumult

Of our life's wild, restless sea; 

Day by day I hear Him saying, 

"Christian, come and follow me." 

As, of old, disciples heard it

By the Galilean lake, 

Turned from home and work and leisure, 

Leaving all for His dear sake: 

In our joys and in our sorrows, 

Days of toil and hours of ease, 

Still He calls in cares and pleasures, 

"Christian, love me more than these." 

Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, 

Savior, may we hear Thy call, 

Give our hearts to Thine obedience, 

Serve and love Thee best of all. 

Amen. 

My Faith Looks Up to Thee

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 faining heart, 

My zeal inspire; 

As Thou has 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 passing dream, 

When death's cold, threatening stream 

Shall o'er me roll, 

Blest Savior, then, in love, 

Fear and distrust remove; 

O lift me safe above, 

A ransomed soul! 

Amen

Postlude

Trust and Obey

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. 

CHORUS:

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 remain when we trust and obey. 

[CHORUS]

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 blest if we trust and obey. 

[CHORUS]

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. 

[CHORUS]

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

I am weak but Thou art strong; 

Jesus, keep me from all wrong; 

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. 

Refrain:

Just a closer walk with Thee, 

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, 

Daily walking close to Thee, 

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 

Through this world of toil and snares, 

If I falter, Lord, who cares? 

Who with me my burden shared? 

None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee

[Refrain]

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past, 

Our hope for years to come, 

Our shelter from the stormy blast, 

And our eternal home!

Under the shadow of Thy throne 

Still may we dwell secure; 

Sufficient is Thine arm alone, 

And our defense is sure. 

Before the hills in order stood, 

Or earth received her frame, 

From everlasting Thou are God, 

To endless years the same. 

A thousand ages in Thy sight 

Are like an evening gone; 

Short as the watch that ends the night, 

Before the rising sun. 

O God, our help in ages past, 

Our hope for years to come, 

Be Thou our guide while life shall last, 

And our eternal home! 

Amen.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Love divine, all loves excelling, 

Joy of heaven to earth come down, 

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, 

All Thy faithful mercies crown. 

Jesus, Thou art all compassion, 

Pure, unbounded love Thou art; 

Visit us with Thy salvation, 

Enter every trembling heart. 

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit 

Into every troubled breast; 

Let us all in Thee inherit, 

Let us find Thy promised rest. 

Take away our bent to sinning, 

Alpha and Omega be; 

End of faith, as its beginning, 

Set our hearts at liberty. 

Come, Almighty to deliver, 

Let us all Thy life receive; 

Suddenly return, and never, 

Nevermore Thy temples leave. 

Thee we would be always blessing, 

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, 

Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, 

Glory in Thy perfect love. 

Finish then Thy new creation, 

Pure and spotless let us be; 

Let us see Thy great salvation 

Perfectly restored in Thee. 

Changed from glory into glory, 

'Til in heaven we take our place, 

'Til we cast our crowns before Thee, 

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Amen. 

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Spirit of God, descent upon my heart; 

Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; 

Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, 

And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 

Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, 

One holy passion filling all my frame; 

The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove; 

My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. 

Amen.

God of Our Fathers

God of our fathers, whose almighty hand 

Leads forth in beauty all the starry band 

Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, 

Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise. 

Thy love divine hath led us in the past, 

In this free land by Thee our lot is cast; 

Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay, 

Thy word our law, Thy paths our chosen way. 

From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, 

Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense; 

Thy true religion in our hearts increase, 

Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. 

Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way, 

Lead us from night to never ending day; 

Fill all our lives with love and graci divine, 

And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine! 

Amen. 

Be Still My Soul

Be still, my soul! the Lord is on thy side; 

Be patiently the cross of grief or pain; 

Leave to thy God to order and provide; 

In every change He faithful will remain. 

Be still, my soul! thy best, thy heavenly Friend 

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 

Be still, my soul! thy God doth undertake 

To guide the future as He has the past. 

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; 

All now mysterious shall be bright at last. 

Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know 

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

All hail the power of Jesus' name! 

Let angels prostrate fall, 

Bring forth the royal diadem, 

And crown Him Lord of all; 

Bring forth the royal diadem, 

And crown Him Lord of all!

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, 

Ye ransomed from the fall, 

Hail Him who saves you bu His grace, 

And crown Him Lord of all; 

Hail Him who saves you bu His grace, 

And crown Him Lord of all!

O that with yonder sacred throng 

We at His feet may fall! 

We'll join the everlasting song, 

And crown Him Lord of all; 

We'll join the everlasting song, 

And crown Him Lord of all!

Postlude

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear! 

What a privilege to carry 

Everything to God in prayer! 

O what peace we often forfeit, 

O what needless pain we bear, 

All because we do not carry 

Everything to God in prayer. 

Have we trials and temptations? 

Is there trouble anywhere? 

We should never be discouraged—

Take it to the Lord in prayer! 

Can we find a friend so faithful, 

Who will all our sorrows share? 

Jesus knows our every weakness—

Take it to the Lord in prayer! 

Are we weak and heaven-laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care? 

Precious Savior, still our refuge—

Take it to the Lord in prayer! 

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? 

Take it to the Lord in prayer! 

In His arms He'll take and shield thee—

Thou wilt find a solace there. 

It Is Well with My Soul

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 will with my soul. 

CHORUS: 

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin—O the joy of this glorious thought—

My sin, not in par, but the whole, 

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more: 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul. 

[CHORUS]

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, 

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll: 

The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, 

"Even so"—it is well with my soul. 

[CHORUS]

O Jesus, I Have Promised

O Jesus, I have promised 

To serve The to the end; 

Be Thou forever near me, 

My Master and my Friend; 

I shall not fear the battle 

If Thou art by my side, 

Nor wander from the pathway 

If Thou wilt be my Guide. 

O let me feel Thee near me, 

The world is ever near; 

I see the sights that dazzle, 

The tempting sounds I hear; 

My foes are ever near me, 

Around me and within; 

But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, 

And shield my soul from sin. 

O Jesus, Thou hast promised 

To all who follow Thee 

That where Thou art in glory 

There shall Thy servant be; 

And, Jesus, I have promised 

To serve Thee to the end; 

O give me grace to follow 

My Master and my Friend

Immortal, invisible, God only wise, 

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, 

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, 

Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. 

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, 

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; 

Thy justice like mountains high soaring above 

Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small; 

In all life Thou livest, the true life of all; 

We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, 

And wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee. 

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, 

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; 

All praise we would render: O help us to see 

'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.

Hold o'er my being absolute sway! 

Fill with Thy Spirit 'til all shall see

Christ only, always, living in me! 

God Be with You 'Til We Meet Again

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

By His counsels guide, uphold you, 

With His sheep securely fold you: 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

'Neath His wings protecting hide you, 

Daily manna still provide you: 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

If life's trials should confound you, 

God will put His arms around you: 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

God be with you 'til we meet again, 

Keep love's banner floating o'er you, 

Smite death's threat'ning wave before you: 

God be with you 'til we meet again,

The Church's One Foundation

The Church's one foundation 

Is Jesus Christ her Lord, 

She is His new creation 

By water and the word; 

From heaven He came and sought her 

To be His holy bride; 

With His own blood He bought her, 

And for her life He died. 

Elect from every nation, 

Yet one o'er all the earth, 

Her charter of salvation, 

One Lord, one faith, one birth; 

One holy name she blesses, 

Partakes one holy food, 

And to one hope she presses, 

With every grace endued. 

'Mid toil and tribulation, 

And tumult of her war, 

She waits the consummation 

Of peace for evermore; 

Till with the vision glorious, 

Her longing eyes are blest, 

And the great Church victorious, 

Shall be the Church at rest. 

Yet she on earth hath union 

With God, the Three in One, 

And mystic sweet communion 

This one should have been uploaded earlier, but the recording got lost in the shuffling of files when I got sick.

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. 

[CHORUS]:

Great is Thy faithfulness, 

Great is Thy faithfulness, 

Morning by morning new mercies I see; 

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided - 

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, 

Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, 

Join with all nature in manifold witness 

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. 

[CHORUS]

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, 

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, 

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow - 

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

[CHORUS]

Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! 

O what a foretaste of glory divine! 

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, 

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. 

[CHORUS]:

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, 

Vision of rapture now burst on my sight; 

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 

[CHORUS]

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. 

[CHORUS]
