Hymn
Rock of Ages
^{Augustus Toplady}

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 demands;
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.

Hymn
Everything Is Changed
^{W.S. Martin}

Everything is changed since my sins were forgiven,
Everything is changed since I knew the Lord;
Now my feet are walking the pathway to heaven;
All the guilty past now is under the blood.

Everything is changed, praise the Lord!
Now I am redeemed through the blood:
Free from condemnation, God is my Salvation,
Everything is changed, praise the Lord!

Everything is changed, to God’s name be the glory!
Light instead of darkness fills my soul;
Everything is changed, ’tis the blessed old story;
Trusting Christ I’m now every whit made whole.  Refrain

Everything is changed since the Spirit possessed me,
Since He filled my heart with the Savior’s love,
Since He took away all the fears that distressed me,
Helped me set my heart on the things above.  Refrain

Hymn
O Day of Rest and Gladness
^{Christopher Wordsworth}

O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing “Holy, holy, holy,”
To the great God Triune.

On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee, our Lord victorious,
The Spirit sent from heav’n;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A triple light was given.

Today on weary nations
The heav’nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.

New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

Hymn
Jesus Paid It All
^{Elvina M. Hall}

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone. Refrain

For nothing good have I
Where by Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain

And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat. Refrain

Hymn
O Lord, In My Life
^{Ryu Kwang Su · Ji Hye Yang}

O Lord, in my life I pray to enjoy Immanuel each day
All my thoughts and the smallest things I do,
May every part of me belong to You

For all my life may I be found
On the road of your disciples, Lord
With my past and my present day,
My future, all my life, Lord have Your way

Far above myself, the grace of God is higher
Above the answers, it is the Lord’s desire
And, past all my work, it is the plan of God
Beyond the blessings, it is Your Covenant

The love of God, transcending the love of man
Lord, help me to see; Lord, open my eyes
Embracing the Remnant Age in my heart,
May I stand before, before You, Lord!

Hymn
Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed
^{Isaac Watts}

Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?

At the cross, at the cross where
  I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
  And now I am happy all the day!

Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!  Refrain

Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut its glories in,
When God, the mighty maker, died
For his own creature’s sin.  Refrain

But drops of tears can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
‘Tis all that I can do.  Refrain

Hymn
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
^{Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin}

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning;
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.

You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger,
Your Name is great and Your heart is kind;
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.

And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still my soul sings Your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.

Hymn
How Great Thou Art
^{Carl Boberg} 

Oh 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

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

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

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Hymn
True Prayer
^{Jang-hee Lee}

Jesus, You are my salvation
And You are the hope for all the world
Lord, would You guard my heart
Let me know Your heart and make it mine

Jesus You are the song that I sing
And You are the answer for the world
Lord, would You guard my mind
Let me know Your thoughts and realize

Let Your Spirit guide my way
Let Your Spirit fill me with Your strength
How I want to see the desperate souls for You
Help me stand for them in the field

Breaking forces of the darkness
Praying for Your kingdom to come
O Lord, take me into the secret
Place where I can find Your heart

Fighting powers of the curses
Praying for Your glory to shine
O Lord, renew my life with Your power
This is my true prayer to You

Hymn
Savior, More Than Life to Me
^{Fanny Crosby}

Savior, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Ev’ry day, ev’ry hour
Let me feel thy cleansing pow’r;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.

Through this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as I go;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way.  Refrain

Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o’er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.  Refrain
