Hymn
Singing I Go
^{Eliza E. Hewitt}

The trusting heart to Jesus clings,
Nor any ill forbodes,
But at the cross of Calv’ry sings:
Praise God for lifted loads!

Singing I go along life’s road,
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord;
Singing I go along life’s road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.

The passing days bring many cares;
“Fear not,” I hear Him say;
And when my fears are turned to prayers,
The burdens slip away.  [Refrain]

He tells me of my Father’s love
And neverslumb’ring eye;
My everlasting King above
Will all my needs supply. [Refrain]

When to the throne of grace I flee,
I find the promise true;
The mighty arms upholding me
Will bear my burdens too. [Refrain]

Hymn
Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices
^{P. P. Bliss}

Sing them over again to me,
wonderful words of life;
let me more of their beauty see,
wonderful words of life;
words of life and beauty,
teach me faith and duty.

Beautiful words, wonderful words,
wonderful words of life.
Beautiful words, wonderful words,
wonderful words of life.

Christ, the blessed one, gives to all
wonderful words of life;
sinner, list to the loving call,
wonderful words of life;
all so freely given,
wooing us to heaven. [Refrain]

Sweetly echo the gospel call,
wonderful words of life;
offer pardon and peace to all,
wonderful words of life;
Jesus, only Savior,
sanctify forever. [Refrain]

Hymn
Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices
^{Thomas Kelly}

Hark! ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the note of praise above;
Jesus reigns and heaven rejoices,
Jesus reigns, the God of love:
See, He sits on yonder throne;
Jesus rules the world alone,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

King of Glory, reign for ever,
Thine an everlasting crown;
Nothing from Thy love shall sever
Those whom Thou hast made Thine own:
Happy objects of Thy grace,
Destined to behold Thy face.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

Saviour, hasten Thine appearing;
Bring, O bring the glorious day,
When, the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away;
Then, with golden harps we’ll sing,
“Glory, glory to our King!”
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

Hymn
I Am Thine, O Lord
^{Fanny Crosby}

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]

O, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]

Hymn
Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy
^{P. P. Bliss}

Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore;
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.

Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.

Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore.  Refrain

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother!
Some poor seaman, tempest-tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.  Refrain

Hymn
Blessed Assurance
^{Fanny Crosby}

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.

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.  Refrain

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.  Refrain

Hymn
Seek Ye First
^{Karen Lafferty}

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you.
Allelu, Alleluia.

Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Allelu,
Alleluia.

Ask and it shall be given unto you,
Seek and ye shall find;
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.
Allelu, Alleluia. Chorus

Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God.
Allelu, Alleluia.  Chorus

Hymn
I love to Tell the Story
^{Kate Hankey} 

I love to tell the story
of unseen things above,
of Jesus and His glory,
of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story
because I know it’s true.
it satisfies my longings
as nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story!
‘Twill be my theme in glory
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story;
more wonderful it seems
than all the golden fancies
of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story;
it did so much for me,
and that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee. [Refrain]

I love to tell the story,
for those who know it best
seem hungering and thirsting
to hear it like the rest.
And when in scenes of glory
I sing the new, new song,
’twill be the old, old story
that I have loved so long. [Refrain]

Hymn
Since Jeus Came into My Heart
^{Rufus H. McDaniel}

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
since Jesus came into my heart.

Since Jeus came into my heart,
since Jesus came into my heart,
floods of joy o’er my soul like sea billows roll,
since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wand’ring and going astray
since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins which were many are all washed away,
since Jesus came into my heart. [Refrain]

I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
since Jesus came into my heart. [Refrain]

There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
since Jesus came into my heart;
And the gates of the city beyond I can see,
since Jesus came into my heart. [Refrain]

I shall go there to dwell in that city I know,
since Jesus came into my heart;
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
since Jesus came into my heart. [Refrain]

Hymn
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
^{Thomas O. Chisholm}

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.

Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast 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. [Refrain]

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 and ten thousand beside. [Refrain]
