{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #003 - God Himself Is With Us}
[G]God Himself is [Dsus]with [D]us; [Em]Let us all a-[Bsus]dore [B]Him,
[C]And [Am]with [D]awe [G]ap-[Am]pear [G]be-[D]fore [G]Him.

[D]Yield [G]their [Am]spir-[G]its [D]whol-[G]ly.

Come, abide within me; Let my soul, like Mary,
Be thine earthly sanctuary,
Come, in-dwelling Spirit,
With transfigured splendour;
Love and honour will I render.
Where I go here below,
Let me bow before Thee.

Gladly we surrender Earth's deceitful treasures,
Pride of Life, and sinful pleasures:
Gladly, Lord, we offer Thine to be forever,
Soul and life and each endeavour.
Thou alone shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
Life's true way declaring.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #004 - Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven}
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him, praise Him, Alleluia, Praise the everlasting King.

[D]Praise Him [A7]for His [D]grace and [G]fa[A7] - [D]vor [G]To [D]our [G]fa-[D]thers [Bm]in [Em]dis-[A]tress;
[F#]Praise Him, [Bm]still [F#]the [Bm]same [B7]for-[Em]ev-[E]er, [F#m]Slow [E7]to [A]chide [D]and [Bm]swift [E7]to [A]bless;
[D]Praise Him, [G]praise [A7]Him, [Bm]al-le-[A7]lu-ia, [Bm]Glo-[A]rious [G]in [Em]His [D]faith-[A]ful-[D]ness.

Tenderly He shields and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows.
In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise Him, praise Him, Alleluia, Widely as His mercy flows.

Angels, help us to adore Him: Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him: Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise Him, praise Him, Alleluia, Praise with us the God of grace.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #005 - All My Hope on God is Founded}
All my hope on God is founded; He doth still my trust renew,
Me through change and chance He guideth, Only good and only true.
God unknown, He alone Calls my heart to be His own.

Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray his trust;
What with care and toil he buildeth, Tower and temple fall to dust.
But God's power, hour to hour, Is my temple and my tower.

God's great goodness aye endureth, Deep His wisdom, passing thought:
Splendour, light, and life attend Him, Beauty springeth out of naught.
Love doth stand at His hand; Joy doth wait on His command.

Still from man to God eternal Sacrifice of praise be done,
High above all praises praising For the gift of Christ His Son.
Christ doth call one and all; Ye who follow shall not fall.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #006 - O Worship the Lord}
[C]O worship [F]the [C]Lord in the beauty [G]of [C]holiness,
[F]Bow down be-[C]fore Him, His [Am]glory [D7]pro-[G]claim;
[C]With gold of obedience, and [F]in-[C]cense of [G]lowliness,
[C]Kneel and [Ab]a- [C]dore Him; [Am]the [C]Lord is [G7]His [C]name.

Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the name that is dear;
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

[A7]And [D]come be-[G]fore His [D]throne of grace [G7]With [A]tuneful [E7]heart and [A]voice;
[A]The [A7]Lord in Zion [D]reigneth, And [Em]there [B]His [Em]praise [E7]shall [A]ri[E]ng[A],
[A7]To [D]Him shall [G]princes [D]bend [B7]the [Em]knee And [D]kings their [A7]glory [D]bring.

The Lord in Zion reigneth, and who so great as He?
The depths of earth are in His hands; He rules the mighty sea.
O crown His Name with honor, and let His standard wave,
Till distant isles beyond the deep shall own His power to save.

The Lord in Zion reigneth, these hours to Him belong;
O enter now His temple gates, and fill His courts with song;
Beneath His royal banner let every creature fall,
Exalt the King of heaven and earth, and crown Him Lord of all.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #013 - New Songs of Celebration Render}
New songs of celebration render To Him who has great wonders done.
Love sits enthroned in ageless splendor:
Come, and adore the mighty One.
He has made known His great salvation
Which all His friends with joy confess:
He has revealed to every nation
His everlasting righteousness.

Joyfully, heartily resounding, Let every instrument and voice
Peal out the praise of grace abounding
Calling the whole world to rejoice.
Trumpets and organs, set in motion
Such sounds as make the heavens ring;
All things that live in earth and ocean,
Make music for your mighty King.

Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, Honor the Lord with wild acclaim;
Mountains and stones look up adoring,
And find a voice to praise His name.
Righteous, commanding, ever glorious,
Praises be His that never cease:
Just is our God, whose truth victorious,
Establishes the world in peace.

O Morning Star, how fair and bright!  You shine with God's own truth and light,

A ray of purest pleasure.  Your Word and Spirit, flesh and blood,

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #022 - God Is Our Song}
God is our Song, and every singer blest
Who praising Him finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy,
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy.

God is our Song, for Jesus comes to save;
While praising Him we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
When Jesus leads us upward into light,
When Jesus leads us upward into light.

This is our Song no conflict ever drowns;
Who praises God our human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple common ground,
God builds upon a simple common ground.

God is our Silence when no songs are sung,
When ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
Until we find again the voice of praise,
Until we find again the voice of praise.

And waters veil the sky.

To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corning valleys grow.

His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.

He sends His word, and melts the snow;
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.

Obey His mighty word:

As shade of clustered palm trees 'Mid weary wastes of sand.

Lord, we would bring for offering, Though marred with earthly soil,
A week of earnest labor, Of steady, faithful toil,
Fair fruits of self denial, Of strong, deep love to Thee,
Fostered by Thine own Spirit, In true humility.

And we would bring our burden Of sinful thought and deed,
In Thy pure presence kneeling, From bondage to be freed,
Our heart's most bitter sorrow For all Thy work undone-
So many talents wasted!  So few bright laurels won!

And with that sorrow mingling, A steadfast faith, and sure,
And love so deep and fervent, For Thee to make it pure,
In Thy dear presence finding The pardon that we need,
And then the peace so lasting- Celestial peace indeed.

Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes.

Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
The day is past and gone;
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on!
Within my heart a welcome guest,
Within my home abide;

{start_of_chorus}
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide!
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide.
{end_of_chorus}

Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burn,
As I communed with Thee.
Thy earnest words have filled my soul
And kept me near Thy side;

Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
And lone will be the night,
If I cannot commune with Thee,
Nor find in Thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide;

[D]God, who [G]made the [E]earth and [A]heaven, [G]Dark[A]ness and [D]light:
[D]You the [G]day for [E]work have [A]given, [G]For [A]rest the [D]night.
[G]May Your angel guards defend us,
Slumber [Bm]sweet Your [E]mercy [A]send us,
[D]Holy [G]dreams and [E]hopes at[A]tend us
[G]All [A]through the [D]night.

And when morn again shall call us to run life's way,
May we still, what-e'er befall us, Your will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Never be Your smile denied us
All through the day.

Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die,
May we in Your mighty keeping All peaceful lie.
When the trumpet call shall wake us, Then,
O Lord, do not forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us with You on high.

Holy Father, throned in heaven, All holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given, Blest Three in One:
Grant us grace, we now implore You,
Till we lay our crowns before You
And in worthier strains adore You while ages run.

Softly now the light of day
Fades upon out sight away:
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, we would commune with Thee.

Thou, whose allpervading eye
Nought escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.

Soon from us the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee.

Savior, breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.

Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.

Though destruction walk around us.
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee Surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.

Should swift death this night o're-take us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn of glory wake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!

Where we worship God the Father Thro' the Spirit of His Son.
All who search for His church Find it where His will is done.

Precious is the tie that binds us To our God when faith grows cold;
Precious all that now reminds us He is still our safe stronghold.
Faithful love serves to prove Here the Shepherd has His fold.

May we learn from Christ's example How to use this house of prayer:
He who loved and cleansed His temple Wants us all to worship there.
God the Son shuts out none: In His Kingdom all may share.

Lord, inspire us with Your vision Of a world which must be won!
Glorious is the church's mission, Long endeavored, scarce begun!
Faithful now- this is how God's eternal will is done.

God is here as we his people meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of his Spirit into open minds and hearts.

Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font and pulpit; here the Word has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech,
here in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each.

Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold.
Here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living to believe and to adore.

Lord of all, Church and Kingdom, in an age of change and doubt,
keep us faithful to the Gospel, help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive:
we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe!

Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.

E'en in the darkness of the grave;

Beyond the utmost reach of thought,

We are not strangers on this earth
whirling amid the suns of space;
We are God's children, this our home,
with those of every clime and race.

O world of man where life is lived,
so strangely mingling joy and pain,
So full of evil and of good,
so needful that the good shall reign!
It is this world that God has loved,
and goodness was its Maker's plan,
The promise of God's triumph is
His coming in a Son of Man.

O world of time's farstretching years!
there was a day when time stood still,
A central moment when there rose
across upon a cruel hill;
In pain and death love's power was seen,
the mystery of time revealed,
The wisdom of the ways of God,
the grace through which man's hurt is healed.

Though I speak with tongues of men and angels,
Though I have the prophet's gift,
Though I hold the keys to hidden knowledge,
Though my faith can mountains shift:
Without love I am no better,
Without love it's all for naught;
Lord, You spent Your life in loving others:
What this means I would be taught.

Love is patient, knows no envy,
Never gloats when others sin;
Love is never glad to see injustice,
Always wants the truth to win.
There's no end to love's endurance,
There's no test it cannot face;
Lord, You spent Your life in loving others:
I shall fail without Your grace.

Though there'll be an end to hidden knowledge,
Visions, raptures, prophecy:
Faith and hope and love shall last forever,
Love the greatest of the three.
Without love I am no better,
Without love it's all for naught;
Lord, You gave Your life in saving others:
What this means I would be taught.

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.

With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And then proclaim

Th'unwearied sun from day to day
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land

The moon takes up the wondrous tale;
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole

What though in solemn silence all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #097 - Lord of the Boundless Curves of Space}
Lord of the boundless curves of space
And time's deep mystery,
To Your creative might we trace
All nature's energy.

Your mind conceived the galaxy,
Each atom's secret planned,
And every age of history
Your purpose, Lord, has spanned.

Yours is the image stamped on man,
Though marred by man's own sin;
And Yours the liberating plan
Again his soul to win.

Give us to know Your truth; but more,
The strength to do Your will;
Until the love our souls adore
Shall all our being fill.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #098 - Can You Count the Stars?}
Can you count the stars that brightly
Twinkle in the midnight sky?
Can you count the clouds, so lightly
O'er the meadows floating by?
God, the Lord, doth mark their number
With His eyes that never slumber;
He hath made every one,
He hath made them every one.

Can you count the wings now flashing
In the sunshine's golden light?
Can you count the fishes splashing
In the cooling waters bright?
God, the Lord, a name hath given,
To all creatures under heaven;
He hath named them every one,
He hath named them every one.

Do you know how many children
Rise each morning blithe and gay?
Can you count their jolly voices,
Singing sweetly day by day?
God hears all the happy voices,
In their merry songs rejoices;
And He loves them, every one,
And He loves them, every one.

The King of kings with glory crown:

From guilt and darkness and the grave:

His wonders to perform;

And rides upon the storm.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

Chrubim and seraphim Thronged the air.
But His mother only In her maiden bliss,
Worshiped the beloved With a kiss.

If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man I would do my part;
Yet what can I give Him? Give my heart.

[D]Thou didst leave [Bm]Thy [Em]throne [A7]and Thy [Bm]king-[Em]ly [F#]crown
[Bm]When Thou [A]camest to [D]earth for [A]me;
[A]But in [D]Bethlehem's [E7]home was there [F#m]found no [E7]room
[E7]For Thy [A]holy na-[E7]tivi-[A]ty.

{start_of_chorus}
[A7]O  [D]come to my heart, Lord [Asus]Je - [A]sus,
There is [D]room [E7]in my [A]heart for [D]Thee.
{end_of_chorus}

Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang
Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth
Didst Thou come to earth, And in greatest humility.

The foxes found rest, And the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod,
O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee.

Thou camest, O Lord, With the living word
That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn,
And with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary.

When the heavens shall ring, And the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home,
Saying, "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee."

Last Refrain
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own Him,
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus'birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.

O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy,
O sing of fragrant flowers breath,
And of the sinless Boy:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear name
On all the winds that blow.

O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of Him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For He who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave;
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save.

Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to You we raise,
Manifested by the star To the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David's stem In Your birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to You addressed, God in man made manifested.

Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet's, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest, In Your Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to You addressed, God in man made manifested.

Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valliant fight, Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to You addressed, God in man made manifested.

Grant us grace to see You, Lord, Mirrored in Your holy Word;
May we imitate Your way, And be pure, as pure we may,
That we like to You may be At Your great epiphany;
Let us praise You, ever blest, God in man made manifest.

Stands alone in glory blazing;

With the saints and angels praise Him:

Trembling at His feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking;
All the prophets and the law
Shout thro'them their joyful greeting:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Swift the cloud of glory came,
God proclaiming in the thunder
Jesus as His Son by name;
Nations cry aloud in wonder!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Law and prophets fade before Him;
First and last, the only One,
Let creation now adore Him.

O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!

For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter over threw.

For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us He gave His dying breath.

For us He rose from death again,
For us He went on high to reign;
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore.

He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.

And through all His wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly mother
In whose gentle arms He lay.
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

Mark that miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete.

Hold You silent and alone.

Silent through those three dread hours,
Wrestling with the evil powers,
Left alone with human sin,
Gloom around You and within,
Till th'appointed time is nigh,
Till the Lamb of God may die.

Hark, that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
You, the Father's only Son,
You, His own anointed one,
You are asking- can it be?
"Why have You forsaken Me?"

Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Darkly o'er our sinful soul,
You, who once were thus bereft
That Your own might ne'er be left,
Teach us by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know You nigh.

[A]Where [G]the dear [A7]Lord [D]was [Gmaj7]cru - [Em]ci-[F#]fied, Who [G]died [Em]to [D]save [A]us [D]all.

We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.

O dearly, dearly has He loved!
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.

Every knee to Him shall bow.

On the seat of power enthrone Him
While the vault of heaven rings.
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!

Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name.
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!

Hark! those bursts of acclamation!

Jesus is all the world to me, my friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain, he sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, he's my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, and true to him I'll be;
O how could I this friend deny, when he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right, he watches o'er me day and night;
following him by day and night, he's my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend;
I trust him now, I'll trust him when life's fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a friend, beautiful life that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy, he's my friend.

{cb:Capo on first fret}
[G]I've found a Friend; oh, [D7]such a Friend! He loved me ere I [G]knew Him;
He drew me with the [C]cords of love, And [G]thus He [D7]bound me to [G]Him.
And '[D7]round my heart still [G]closely twine Those [C]ties which [A]nought can [G]se-[D]ver,
[D7]For [G]I am His, and [C]He is mine, For-[G]ever [D7]and forev-[G]er.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!  He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me.
Nought that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life my all, Are His, and His forever.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!  All power to Him is given;
To guard me on my upward course, And bring me safe to heaven.
The eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor;
So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!  So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a counselor and guide, So mighty a defender.
From Him, who loveth me so well, What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth, or hell?  No; I am His forever.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #188 - My Song Is Love Unknown}
My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me,
Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be.
O who am I that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die?

He came from His blest throne, Salvation to bestow,
But men made strange, and none The longed for Christ would know.
But O my Friend, my Friend indeed Who at my need His life did spend.

Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing,
Resounding all the day, Hosannas to their King.
Then "Crucify" is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry.

Why, what hath my Lord done?  What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! yet they at these Themselves displease, and 'gainst Him rise.

They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save, The Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free.

Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine:
Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine!
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend.

where they will not die.

The lov'd of earth who have long been parted,
Meet in that glad day;
The tears of those who are broken hearted

That glorious day is coming,
The hour is hastening on;
Its radiant light is nearing,
Far brighter than the sun;
In yonder clouds of heaven,
The Savior will appear,
And gather all His chosen,
To meet Him in the air.

The saints, then all victorious
Will go to meet their Lord;
An earth both bright and glorious,
Will then be their reward;
And God Himself there reigning,
Will wipe all tears away;
Nor clouds nor night remaining,
But one eternal day.

O Christian, keep from sleeping,
And let your love abound;
Be watchful, prayerful, faithful,
The trumpet soon will sound!
O sinner, hear the warning!
To Jesus quickly!
Then you, in that blest morning,
May meet Him in the sky!

Wake, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
Awake, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight's solemn hour is tolling,
His chariot wheels are nearer rolling,
He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise.
Rise up with willing feet
Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Alleluia!
Bear through the night your well-trimmed light,
Speed forth to join the marriage rite.

Zion hears the watchmen singing,
Her heart with deep delight is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
Forth her Bridegroom comes, all-glorious,
In grace arrayed, by truth victorious;
Her Star is risen, her Light is come!
All hail, incarnate Lord,
Our crown, and our reward! Alleluia!
We haste along, in pomp and song,
And gladsome join the marriage throng.

Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee,
And men and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone.
By the pearly gates in wonder
We stand, and swell the voice of thunder,
That echoes round Thy dazzling throne.
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught,
Such bliss and joy;
We raise the song, we swell the throng,
To praise Thee ages all along.

[F]Seek [Gm7]ye   [F]first  the   [Dm]king- dom, [Gm]'Tis  your Fa -[Dm7]  ther'[Gm7]s wi[C7]ll.
[Bb]Sav- [F]ior, [Bb]we    [Adim]would [Bb]hear  [Dm]Thee, [F]Fol- [Am]low, [Gm]find, [Bb7]and    [C]see;

Seek ye first the kingdom, 'Tis your Father's will.
So the voice of Jesus bids us follow still.
Savior, we would hear Thee, Follow, find, and see;
And in life's adventure Thy disciples be.

As for hidden treasure, Or for matchless pearl,
When at last discovered, some will sell their all:
So, when breaks the vision of that kingdom fair,
Ours shall be its riches and its beauty rare.

As the silent leaven works its secret way,
Or as grows the seed grain through the night and day;
Lord, so be the increase, peaceable but sure,
Of Thy word within us, And Thy kingdom's power.

As the tender seedling grows up tall and strong,
And the birds of heaven to its branches throng;
So shall all God's children, from the east and west,
Gather to His kingdom, In its shadow rest.

Humblest shall be greatest, poor in spirit reign;
Home shall come the childlike, born through Thee again
Eager hearts arrive there on the pilgrim's road,
Hail! the kingdom glorious of the living God!

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #225 - God Is Working His Purpose Out}
God is working His purpose out As year suceeds to year;
God is working His purpose out, And the time is drawing near;
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.

From utmost east to utmost west, Where'er man's foot hath trod,
By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God;
Give ear to me, ye confinents, Ye isles, give ear to me,
That the earth shall 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 their 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 teh 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.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #226 - Lift Up Your Heads}
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Behold the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Savior of the world is here.

The Lord is just, a helper tried;
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crowns is holiness,
His scepter, pity in distress.

O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!

Fling wide the portals of your heart;
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven's employ,
Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy.

Redeemer, come; I open wide
My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide.
Let me Thy inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal.

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God!
For Him let doors be opened, No hearts against Him barred!
Not robed in royal splendor, In power and pomp comes He;
But clad as are the poorest, Such His humility.

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God!
By those who truly listen His voice is truly heard;
Pity the proud and haughty, Who have not learned to heed
The Christ who is the promise, Who has atonement made.

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God!
He only to the humble Reveals the face of God.
All power is His, all glory!  All things are in His hand,
All ages and all peoples, 'Till time itself shall end.

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God!
He offers to the burdened The rest and grace they need.
Gentle is He and humble!  And light his Yoke shall be,
For He would have us bear it, So He can made us free!

All the angel faces, All the hosts of light,

Humbled for a season, To receive a name
From the lips of sinners, Unto whom He came;
He is God the Savior, He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshiped, Trusted and adored.

In your hearts enthrone Him: There let Him subdue
All that is not holy, All that is not true;
Crown Him as your captain in temptation's hour,
Let His will enfold you in its light and power.

Surely, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
With His Father's glory, With His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire meet upon His brow,
And our hearts confess Him King of glory now.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
"Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

Dear name, the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place,
My neverfailing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King!

Accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
Nought I ask beside Thee.

In Thine arms I rest me; foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms our fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell, With their bitter storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.

Hence, all thought of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, still have peace within;
Yea, whatever we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,

To them that seek Thee Thou art good,

And long to feast upon Thee still;

Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see,

Who gave Himself my ransom,
And bought me with His blood.

My song shall be of Jesus
When, sitting at His feet,
I call to mind His goodness
In meditation sweet:
My song shall be of Jesus,
Whatever ill betide;
I'll sing the grace that saves me,
And keeps me at His side.

My song shall be of Jesus
While pressing on my way
To reach the blissful kingdom
Of pure and perfect day:
And when my soul shall enter
That realm of splendor fair,
A song of praise to Jesus
I'll sing forever there.

And make us kings and priests to God:

All power in heaven and earth proclaim,

And stays our sin and calms our lurking fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden;
For still the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.

I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
How He will claim His earthly heritage,
How satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know all flesh shall see His glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,
And some glad day His sun will shine in splendor
When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.

I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
When at His bidding every storm is stilled,
Or who can say how great the jubilation
When all our hearts with love for Him are filled.
But this I know the skies shall sound His praises,
Ten thousand thousand human voices sing,
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer,
At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King!

O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn

To reach eternal joys.

Awake our souls to joyful songs;

Till praise employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.

Father, we would no longer live
At this poor, dying rate;
To Thee our thankful love we give,
For Thine to us is great.

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Savior's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.

The church from her dear Master
received the gift divine,
and still that light is lifted
o'er all the earth to shine.
It is the sacred vessel
where gems of truth are stored;
it is the heaven-drawn picture
of Christ, the living Word.

It floateth like a banner
before God's host unfurled;
it is a shining beacon
above the darkling world.
It is the chart and compass
that o'er life's surging tide,
mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.

O make Thy church, dear Savior,
a lamp of purest gold,
to bear before the nations
your true light as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
by this their path to trace,
till, clouds and darkness ended,
they see Thee face to face.

O God of light, Your Word, a lamp unfailing,
Shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way
And show your grace, Your plan for us unveiling,
And guide our footsteps to the perfect day.

From days of old,through blind and willful ages,
Though we rebelled, You gently sought again,
And spoke through saints, apostles, prophets, sages,
Who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.

Undimmed by time,those words are still revealing
To sinful hearts Your justice and Your grace;
And questing mortals longing for Your healing,
See Your compassion in the Savior's face.

To all the world Your summons You are sending,
Through all the earth, to every land and race,
That myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
May praise and celebrate Your gift of grace.

{cb:Capo on first fret}
[D7]I've [G]wandered far a-[C]way from [G]God, Now I'm coming [D]home;
[D7]The [G]paths of sin too [C]long I've [G]trod; [Em]Lord, [D7]I'm coming [G]home.

{start_of_chorus}
[G]Coming home, [C]coming home [G]Never more to [D]roam;
[G]Open wide Thine [C]arms of [G]love; [Em]Lord I'm [D7]coming [G]home.
{end_of_chorus}

I've wasted many precious years, Now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears; Lord, I'm coming home.

I'm tired of sin and straying Lord, Now I'm coming home;
I'll trust thy love belive thy word; Lord, I'm coming home.

My only hope, my only plea, Now I'm coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me; Lord, I'm coming home.

I need His cleansing blood I know, Now I'm coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow; Lord, I'm coming home.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #297 - God Be Merciful to Me}
God, be merciful to me,
On Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin,
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.

I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Savior art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow,
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.

Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from Thee,
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart,
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart.

Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God, to Thee;
Savior, all my guilt remove,
And my tongue shall sing Thy love;
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord,
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord.

[F]I lay my [Am]sins [C7]on [A7]Je-[Dm]sus,

To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains,
Till not a stain remains.

I lay my wants on Jesus,
All fullness dwells in Him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem,
He doth my soul redeem.

I long to be like Jesus,
Meek loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child,
The Father's holy child.

I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heav'nly throng,
To sing with them His praises,
And learn the angels'song,
And learn the angels'song.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #299 - Forgive Our Sins as We Forgive}
"Forgive our sins as we forgive,"
You taught us, Lord, to pray;
But You alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say.

How can Your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart?

In blazing light Your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew:
How trifling others' debts to us;
How great our debt to You!

Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls
And bid resentment cease;
Then, by Your mercy reconciled,
Our lives will spread Your peace.

When I soar to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,

[Gm]That [F]leads me to [C7]the [F]Lamb!

Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn
And drove Thee from my breast.

What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.

[D]Live out Thy [G]life [D]within [A]me, [D]O [Em]Jesus, [D]King [A7]of [D]kings!
[A7]Be [D]Thou Thy-[F#7]self the [Gsus]an - [G]swer [D]to [Bm]all [A]my [D]ques-[E7]tion-[A]ings;

The temple has been yielded, And purified of sin;
Let Thy Shekinah glory Now shine forth from within,
And all the earth keep silence, The body henceforth be
Thy silent, gentle servant, Moved only as by Thee.

Its members every moment Held subject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them, Or not be used at all;
Held without restless longing, Or strain, or stress, or fret
Or chafings at Thy dealings, Or thoughts of vain regret.

But restful, calm, and pliant, From bend and bias free,
Awaiting Thy decision, When Thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glorious answer To all my questionings.

All things else I have forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.
Perish every fond ambition, all I've sought or hoped or known.
Yet how rich is my condition! God and Heaven are still mine own.

Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art faithful, Thou art true.
O, ?tis not in grief to harm me, while thy love is left to me;
O, ?twere not in joy to charm me, If that love be hid from me.

Soul, then know thy full salvation; rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear:
Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine;
Think that Jesus died to win thee, child of heaven, canst thou repine?

Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer,
Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission, soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

There [G]is a fountain [C]filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's [D]veins;
And [G]sinners plunged be[C]neath that [G]flood lose all their [D]guilty stains.
Lose [G]all their [D]guilty [G]stains, [C]Lose [G]all their guilty [D]stains;
And [G]sinners plunged be[C]neath that [G]flood lose all their [D]guilty [G]stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

Thou dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God are saved, to sin no more.
Are saved, to sin no more, are saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God are saved, to sin no more.

E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood-bought free reward, a golden harp for me!
A golden harp for me! A golden harp for me!
For me a blood-bought free reward, a golden harp for me!

There in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue is ransomed from the grave.
Is ransomed from the grave, is ransomed from the grace;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue is ransomed from the grave.

Is this a day of new beginnings,
Time to remember and move on,
Time too believe what love is bringing,
Laying to rest the pain that's gone?

How can the seasons of a planet
Mindlessly spinning round its sun
With just a human name and number
Say that some new thing has begun?

Yet through the life and death of Jesus
Love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
Can make for us a world of difference
As faith and hope are born again.

Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
Step from the past and leave behind
Its disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
Seeking new paths, and sure to find.

Christ is alive, and goes before us
To show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
Our God is making all things new.

Clear be the voices of preachers and prophets
Fearlessly speaking the word of the Lord,
Word of redemption thro'God's Son incarnate,
Blessing for cursing, and peace for the sword.

Tender and wise be the hearts of the pastors,
Guiding and guarding the souls in their care,
Firm with the wayward, a strength to the doubting,
Helping the needy their burdens to bear.

May those who teach grow in knowledge and patience,
Guiding to wisdom the young and the old,
Training for worship and witness and service,
Foes to all falsehood, in truthfulness bold.

Each needing other, and all having worth;
So to the Father, the Son, and the Spirit,
Glory be shown by the church here on earth.

Built on the Rock the Church shall stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in every land,
Bells still are chiming and calling-
Calling the young and old to rest,
Calling the souls of those distressed,
Longing for life everlasting.

Not in our temples made with hands
God, the Almighty, is dwelling;
High in the heav'ns  His temple stands,
All earthly temples exceling.
Yet He who dwells in heav'n above
Deigns to abide with us in love,
Making our bodies His temple.

We are God's house of living stones,
Built for His own habitation;
He fills our hearts, His humble thrones,
Granting us life and salvation.
Were two or three to seek His face,
He in their midst would show His grace,
Blessings upon them bestowing.

Yet in this house, an earthly frame,
Jesus His children is blessing;
Hither we come to praise His name,
Faith in our Savior confessing.
Jesus to us His Spirit sent,
Making with us His covenant,
Granting His children the kingdom.

Thro'all the passing years, O Lord,
Grant that, when church bells are ringing,
Many may come to hear God's Word
Where He this promise is bringing:
I know My own, My own know Me:
You, not the world, My face shall see;
My peace I leave with you. Amen.

{cb:Capo on first fret}
[C]Hark! the voice of Jesus [F]call-[C]ing,
[F]“Who wil[C]l go an[G7]d wor[C]k t[G]o-day?
[C]Fields are white, the harvest [F]wait-[C]ing,
[F]Who will [C]bear the [C]sheaves [G7]a - [C]way?”
[C]Loud and long the [F]Mas-[C]ter calleth,
[C]Rich re-[G7]ward He [Dsus]of -  [D7]fers [G]free;
[C]Who will answer, gladly [F]say-[C]ing,
[F]“Here a[C]m I, O Lord[G7], sen[C]d me”?

If you cannot cross the ocean
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door;
If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.

If you cannot be the watchman,
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering life and peace to all;
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what Heaven demands,
You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet's hands.

While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you,
Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do!"
Gladly take the task He gives you,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me."

From the eastern mountains Pressing on they come,
Wise men in their wisdom, To His humble home;
Stirred by deep devotion, Hasting from afar,
Ever journeying onward, Guided by a star.

There their Lord and Savior Meek and lowly,
Wondrous light that led them Onward on their way,
Ever now to lighten Nations from afar,
As they journey homeward By that guiding star.

Gather in the outcasts All who've gone astray,
Throw Thy radiance o'er them, Guide them on their way;
Those who never knew Thee, Those who've wandered far,
Guide them by the brightness  Of Thy guiding star.

Until every nation, Whether bond or free,
'Neath Thy starlit banner, Jesus follows thee.
O'er the distant mountains To that heavenly home,
Where no sin nor sorrow Evermore shall come.

Bore the weight of human need,
Who upon the cross, forsaken,
Worked Your mercy's perfect deed:

Not of voice alone, but heart;
Consecrating to Your purpose
Every gift which You impart.

Still Your children wander homeless;
Still the hungry cry for bread;
Still the captives long for freedom;
Still in grief we mourn our dead.
As you, Lord, in deep compassion
Healed the sick and freed the soul,
By Your Spirit send Your power
To our world to make it whole.

As we worship, grant us vision,
Till your love's revealing light
In its height and depth and greatness
Dawns upon our quickened sight,
Making known the needs and burdens
Your compassion bids us bear,
Stirring us to ardent service,

Strong in Your strength to venture and to dare,
To lift the fallen, guide the feet that stumbe,
Seek out the lonely and God's mercy share.

Show us Your Spirit, brooding o'er each city,
As You did weep above Jerusalem,
Seeking to gather all in love and pity,
And healing those who touch Your garment's hem.

Most beauti - [B7]ful, most [E]bright,
[E7]On [A]thee the high and [E]lowly
who [B7]bend before [E]throne,
[E7]Sing, "[A]Holy, holy, [E]holy,"
To the e - [B7]ternal [E]One.  [A]    [E]

Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected
With streams of paradise;
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry dreary sand;
From Thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised land.

A day of sweet reflection
Thou art, a day of love,
A day to raise affection
From earth to things above.
New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We seek the rest remaining
To mansions of the blest.

Thro' the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciling face;
Take away the sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

When the more shall bid us rise,
May we feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

May the gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief to all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths be,
Till we we rise to reign with Thee.
Thus may all our Sabbaths be,
Till we we rise to reign with Thee.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #386 - The Sacred Anthem}
The sacred anthem slowly rang
Across the fields of praise,
When earth's first Sabbath made complete
All creatures and all days.
Walking with God, there,
Woman and man together share
The blessed Sabbath mood;
And in that green and golden world
Know all God's works are good.

But now in our diminished lives
We sing a blemished song;
The earth is worn and disarrayed
And all our work goes wrong.
Still in our worship,
Joining in praise and fellowship,
By Sabbath radiance blessed,
We put our doubt and fear away
And rest within God's rest.

And arching over time and space
The Lord of Sabbaths wills
Renewal for the weary earth
And healing for our ills.
Hearts will rejoice then;
There will be no more weeping, when
We know and shall be known.
With hosts of the redeemed we'll sing
Around God's shining throne.

Quench the passions' hurtful fire;
To the wayward, sin oppressed,
Bring thou thy divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!

Wipe from every cheek the tear,
Banish care and silence fear;
All things working for the best,
Teach us the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!

As we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear
Tho'marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
Your call to hear, Your love to find.

We come with self inflicted pains
Of broken trust and chosen wrong,
Half free, half bound by inner chains,
By social forces swept along,
By powers and systems close confined,
Yet seeking hope for human kind.

Lord God, in Christ You call our name,
And then receive us as Your own,
Not thro' some merit, right, or claim,
But by Your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse Your mercy seat,
And find You kneeling at our feet.

Then take the towel, and break the bread,
And humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed
And show how grandly love intends
To work till all creation sings,
To fill all worlds, to crown all things.

Lord God, in Christ You set us free
Your life to live, Your joy to share.
Give us Your Spirit's liberty
To turn from guilt and dull despair
And offer all that faith can do,
While love is making all things new.

Sent out to serve, as He was sent.

A lasting gift Jesus gave His own:
To share His bread, His loving cup.

Each proud division ends.

Speaking to the hearts of men,
In the age-long Word expounding
God's own message, now as then;
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast,
God is King, His Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last.

Teach us, as the years fly faster,
Goodness, faith, and self control.

Fruitful trees, the Spirit's tending,
May we grow till harvests cease;
Till we taste, in life unending,
Heaven's love and joy and peace.

O solemn thought and can it be
The hour o judgment now is come
Which soon must fix our destiny,
And seal the sinner's fearful down?
Yes, it is so; the judgment hour
Is swiftly hastening to its close;
Then will the Judge, in mighty power,
Descend in vengeance on His foes.

He who came down to earth to die
An offering for the sins of men,
And then ascended upon on high,
And will e'er long return again,
Is standing now before the ark,
And mercy seat and cherubim,
To plead His blood for saints, and make
The last remembrance of their sin.

The solemn moment is at hand
When we who have His name confessed,
Each in his lot must singly stand
And pass the final, searching test.
Jesus! we hope in Thee alone;
In mercy now upon us look,
Confess our names before the throne,
And blot our sins fromout Thy book.

O blessed Savior! may we feel
The full importance of this hour.
Inspire our hearts with holy zeal,
And aid us by Thy Spirit's power,
That we may in Thy strength be strong,
And brave the conflict valiantly;
Then, on Mount Zion, join the song,
And swell the notes of victory.

Day of judgement, day of wonders!
Hark the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!

Will the sinner's heart confound!

See the Lord in the glory nearing,
Clothed in majesty divine,
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, "This God is mine!"
Gracious Savior, Gracious Savior,
Own me in that day as Thine.

At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life form earth and sea!
All the powers of nature shaken
By His looks prepare to flee.
Careless sinner, Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?

But to those who have confessed
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever, You forever
Shall my love and glory know."

Never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near;
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God.

Savior, if of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name;
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.

[D]There is singing up in heaven such as we have [A7]never [D]known,
[D]Where the angels [G]sing the [D]praises of the Lamb upon the [A7]throne;
[A7]Their sweet harps are ever [D]tuneful and their [A7]voices always [D]clear,
[D]O that we might be more like them while we [A7]serve the Master [D]here!

And [G]I expect to [D]help them make the [A]courts of [E7]heaven [A]ring;
But [A7]when I sing [D]redemption's story, [A7]they will fold their [D]wings,
For [G]angels [D]never [A7]felt the [D]joys that [A]our sal-[A7]vation [D]brings.
{end_of_chorus}

But I hear another anthem,
blending voices clear and strong,
"Unto Him who hath redeemed us
and hath bought us," is the song;
We have come thro' tribulations
to this land so fair and bright,
In the fountain freely flowing
He hath made our garments white.

Then the angels stand and listen,
for they cannot join that song,
Like the sound of many waters,
by that happy, blood-washed throng;
For they sing about great trials,
battles fought and vict'ries won,
And they praised the great Redeemer,
who hath said to them, "Well done."

So, although I'm not an angel,
yet I know that over there
I will join  a blessed chorus
that the angels cannot share;
I will sing about my Savior,
who upon dark Calvary
Freely pardoned my transgressions,
died to set the sinner free.

{end_of_chorus}

When, by the gift of His infinite grace,
I am accorded in heaven a place,
Just to be there and to look on His face,
Will through the ages be glory for me.

Friends will be there I have loved long ago;
Joy like a river around me will flow,
Yet, just a smile form my Savior, I know,
Will through the ages be glory for me.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #436 - The Homeland}
The homeland! O the homeland!
The land of the free born!
There's no night in the homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn;
I'm sighing for homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I'm drawing near;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I'm drawing near.

My Lord is in the homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
There's no sin in the homeland,
And no temptation there;
The music of the homeland
Is ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears;
And when I think of the homeland
My  ears are filled with tears.

The dwellers in the homeland
Are beckoning me to come,
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy name;
O dear, dear native country!
O rest  and  peace above!
Christ bring us all to the homeland
Of Thy redeeming love;
Christ bring us all to the homeland
Of  Thy redeeming love

It's glitt'ring tow'rs the sun outshine,
That heav'nly mansion shall me mine.

My Father's house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry  sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav'nly mansion mine shall be.

Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour or waves oe'r flow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heav'nly mansion near the throne.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #439 - How Far From Home?}
{cb:Capo on first fret}
[C]How far from home? I [F]asked, as [C]on
I [G]bent my steps—th[C]e watchman spake:
[C]"The long, dark night is [F]almost [C]gone,
The [G]morning soon will [C]break.
Then [G]weep no more, but [C]speed thy flight,
With [G]Hope's bright star thy [C]guiding ray,
[C]Till thou shalt reach the [F]realms of [C]light,
In [G]everlasting [C]day."

I asked the warrior on the field;
This was his soul-inspiring song:
"With courage, bold, the sword I'll wield,
The battle is not long.
Then weep no more, but well endure
The conflict, till thy work is done;
For this we know, the prize is sure,
When victory is won."

I asked again; earth, sea, and sun
Seemed, with one voice, to make reply:
"Time's wasting sands are nearly run,
Eternity is nigh.
Then weep no more-with warning tones,
Portentous signs are thickening round,
The whole creation, waiting, groans,
To hear the trumpet sound."

Not far from home! O blessed thought!
The traveler's lonely heart to  cheer;
Which oft a healing balm has brought,
And dried the mourner's tear.
Then weep no more, since we shall meet
Where weary footsteps never roam-
Our trails past, our joys complete,
Safe in our Father's home.

And one I saw, with sword and shield,
Who boldly braved the world's cold frown,
And fought, unyielding, on the field,
To win an everlasting crown.
Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes,
No murmur from his heart arose;
I asked what buoyed his spirits up,
"O this!" said he-"the blessed hope."

And there was  one who left behind
The cherished friends of early years,
And honor, pleasure, wealth re-signed,
To tread the path bedewed with tears.
Through trials deep and conflict sore,
Yet still a smile of joy he wore;
O! what can bouy the spirit up?
'Tis this alone-the blessed hope.

While pilgrims here we journey on
In this dark vale of sin and gloom,
Through tribulation, hate, and scorn,
Or through the portals of the tomb,
Till our returning King shall come
To tkae His exile captives home,
O! what can bouy the spirits up?
'Tis this alone-- the blessed hope.

No longer are homeless ones;
And we know that the goodly land is fair,
Where life's pure river runs.

They say green fields are waving there,
That never a blight shall know;
And the deserts wild are blooming fair,
And the roses of Sharon grow.
There are lovely birds in the bowers green,
Their songs are blithe and sweet;
And their warblings, gushing ever new,
The angels' harpings greet.

We have heard of the palms, the robes, the crowns,
And the silvery band in white;
Of the city fair, with pearly gates,
All radiant with light.
We have heard of the angels there, and saints,
With their harps of gold, how they sing;
Of the mount with the fruitful tree of life,
Of the leaves that healing bring.

The King of that country, He is fair,
He's the joy and light of the place;
In His beauty we shall behold Him there,
And bask in His smiling face,
We'll be there, we'll be there in a little while,
We'll join the pure and the blest;
We'll have the palm, the robe, the crown,

Then shall my latest breath whisper thy praise;
this be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
this still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee, more love to thee!

As the bridegroom to his chosen,
As the king to his realm,
As the keep unto the castle,
As the pilot to the helm,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the fountain in the garden,
As the candle in the dark,
As the treasure in the coffer,
As the manna in the ark,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the ruby in the setting,
As the honey in the comb,
As the light within the lantern,
As the father in the home,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the sunshine in the heavens,
As the image in the glass,
As the fruits up in the fig tree,
As the dew upon the grass,

As freedom after bondage,
As sunrise to the day;
As home to the trav'ler and all he longs to see,

When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and  blessed we shall meet at last.

Life is great! So sing about it,
As we can and as we should-
Shop and buses, towns and people,
Village, farmland, field and wood,
Life is great and life is given;
Life is lovely, free and good.

Life is great!- what ever happens,
Snow or sunshine, joy or pain,
Hardship, grief or disillusion,
Suffering that I can't explain-
Life is great if someone loves me,
Holds my hand and calls my name.

Love is great!- the love of lovers,
Whispered words and longing eyes;
Love that gazes at the cradle
Where a child of loving lies;
Love that lasts when youth has faded,
Bends with age, but never dies.

Love is giving and receiving-
Boy and girl, or friend with friend;
Love is bearing and forgiving
All the hurts that hate can send;
Love's the greatest way of living,
Hoping, trusting to the end.

God is great! in  Christ He loved us,
As we should, but never can-
Love that suffered, hoped and trusted
When disciples turned and ran,
Love that broke through death forever.
Praise that loving, living Man!

A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I've been adopted, my name's written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.

A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:
All glory to God, I'm a child of the King.

With glorious harmony.

Like something heard in dreams-

Of heav'nly winds and streams,
My heart is filled with rapture,
To think, some day to come,
I'll sing it with the angels-

[C]Dear Lord and [F]Father [G]of man-[C]kind,
For-[F]give [C]our [G7]fool-[C]ish [G]ways;

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,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.

In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me,
Lest by base denial I depart from Thee;
When Thou see'st me waver, with a look recall,
Nor, for fear or favor, suffer me to fall.

With forbidden pleasures would this vain world charm;
Or its sordid treasures spread to work me harm;
Bring to my remembrance sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance, cross-crowned Calvary.

Should Thy mercy send me sorrow, toil, and woe,
Or should pain attend me on my path below,
Grant that I may never fail Thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever cast my care on Thee.

O gracious Father of mankind,

High heaven's Lord, our hearts' dear guest,
To Thee our prayers ascend.
Thou dost not wait till human speech
Thy gifts divine implore;
Our dreams, our aims, our work, our lives
Are prayers Thou lovest more.

Thou hearest these, the good and ill,
Deep buried in each breast;
The secret thought, the hidden plan,
Wrought out our unexpressed.
O cleanse our prayers from human dross,
Attune our lives to Thee,
Until we labor for those gifts
We ask on bended knee.

Our best is but Thyself in us,
Our highest thought Thy will;
To hear Thy voice we need but love,
And listen, and be still.
We would not bend Thy will to ours,
But blend our wills to Thine;
Not dreams, our aims, our work, our lives
Are prayers Thou lovest more.

Thou seekest us in love and truth
More than our minds seek Thee;
Through open gates Thy power flows in
Like flood tides from the sea.
No more we seek Thee from afar,
Nor ask Thee for a sign,
Content to pray in life and love
And toil, till all are Thine.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?  Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabbaoth, his name, from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours, thru him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
the body they may kill; God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.

If you but trust in God to guide you
And place your confidence in Him,
You'll find Him always there beside you,
To give you hope and strength within.
For those who trust God's changeless love
Build on the rock that will not move.

What gain is there in futile weeping,
In helpless anger and distress?
If you are in His care and keeping,
In sorrow will He love you less?
For He who took for you a cross
Will bring you safe through every loss.

In patient trust await His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er your Father's pleasure
And all discerning love have sent;
Doubt not your inmost wants are known
To Him who chose you for His own.

Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,
Offer your service faithfully,
And trust His word; though undeserving,
You'll find His promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
The soul that trusts in Him indeed.

A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat.

There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat.

There, there, on angel's wings we soar, And earthly cares molest no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat.

Or how the hosts of sin defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy seat?

I'll taste, e'en here the hallowed bliss, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home; Of an eternal home.

{subtitle:SDA Hymnal #548 - Now Praise the Hidden God of Love}
Now praise the hidden God of love
In whom we all must live and move,
Who shepherds us, at every stage
Thro' youth, maturity, and age.

Who challenged us, when were young
To storm the citadels of wrong;
In care for others taught us how
God's true community must grow.

Who bids us never lose our zest,
Tho' age is urging us to rest,
But proves to us that we have still
A work to do, a place to fill.

Then talk no more of wasted time,
But Godward look, and upward climb,
Content to sleep, when day is done,
And rise refreshed, and travel on.

As saints of old their first fruits brought
Of orchard, flock, and field
To God the giver all good,
The source of bounteous yield;
So we today first fruits would bring:
The wealth of this good land,
Of farm and market, shop and home,
Of mind, and heart, and hand.

A world in need now summons us
To labor, love, and give;
To make our life an offering
To God, that all may live.
The Church of Christ is calling us
To make the dream come true:
A world redeemed by Christ-like love;
All life in Christ made new.

In gratitude and humble trust
We bring our best today,
To serve Your cause and share Your love
With all along life's way.
O God, who gave yourself to us
In Jesus Christ Your Son,
Teach us to give ourselves each day
Until life's work is done.

Grant, O harvest Lord, that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall purge away
All that doth offend, that day;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.

Then, thou church triumphant, come,
Raise the song of harvest home;
All are safely gathered in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin,
There, forever purified,
In God's garner to abide;
Come, ten thousand angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home!

Put first-fruits in a basket, and took it to the priest.

[G7]Force [C]me to [G]render [Am]up  [C7]my  [G]sword,
[D7]And [D]I shall [G7]conqueror [D]be.

When [Am]by myself I [Em]stand;
[G7]Im- [C]prison [E7]me with-[F]in Thine [Bb7]arms,
[Dm]And [C]strong shall [G7]be my [C]hand.

My heart is weak and poor until it amaster find;
It has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain;
Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign.

My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine;
If it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign;
It only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife,
When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.

What does the Lord require for praise and offering?
What sacrifice, desire or tribute bid you bring?
Do justly; Love mercy; Walk humbly with your God.

Rulers of men, give ear! Should you not justice show?
Will God your pleading hear, while crime and cruelty grow?

Let Christ endue our will with grace to fortify.
Then justly, in mercy we'll humbly walk with God.

Weak and divided, soon to pass away;
What will the next great, glorious drama be?

By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calv'ries ever with the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth,
They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.

Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.

[G]Stand up, stand up for [C]Jesus!
Ye [G]soldiers [D]of [G]the [D]cross;

[D7]Stand [G]up, stand up for [C]Jesus! ye [G]soldiers [D]of [G]the [D]cross;
[D7]Lift [G]high His royal [C]banner, it [G]must not [D7]suffer [G]loss:
From [D]vict'ry unto [G]vict'ry His [Cm]army shall He [G]lead,[D7]
Till [G]every foe is [C]vanquished, and [G]Christ is [D7]Lord in[G]deed. [C]   [G]

Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey:
Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day;
Ye that are men now serve Him against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone,
The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armor, and watching unto prayer,
Where calls the voice of duty, be never wanting there.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus! the strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song;
To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory shall reign eternally.

There, Christ, the Sun, for ever reigns, And scatters night away.

When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face, And in His kingdom rest?

Filled with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Gracious Father, guard Thy children
From the foe's destructive power;
Save, O save them, Lord, from falling
In this dark and trying hour.
Thou wilt surely prove Thy people,
All our graces must be tried;
But Thy word illumes our pathway,
And in God we still confide.

We are in the time of waiting;
Soon we shall behold our Lord,
Wafted far away from sorrow,
To receive our rich reward.
Keep us, Lord, till Thine appearing,
Pure, unspotted from the world;
Let Thy Holy Spirit cheer us
Till Thy banner is unfurled.

With what joyful exultation
Shall the saints Thy banner see,
When the Lord for whom we've waited
Shall proclaim the jubilee!
Freedom from this world's pollutions;
Freedom from all sin and pain;
Freedom from the wiles of Satan,
And from death's destructive reign.

And we can trust Him to provide;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell:
All is well! All is well!

We'll find the rest which God for us prepared,
When at last He will call;
Where none will come to hurt or make afraid,

Shout praise to God our Lord and King:
O how we'll make the chorus swell:
All is well! All is well!

Sorely tempted though I be;

And rejoice to follow Thee.

Though Thou leadest me through affliction,
Poor, forsaken though I be;
Thou wast destitute, afflicted,
And I only follow Thee.

Though to Jordan's rolling billows,
Cold and deep, Thou leadest me,
Thou hast crossed the waves before me,
And I still will follow Thee.

"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."

As Jacob with travel was weary one day,
At night on a stone for a pillow he lay;
He saw in a vision a ladder so high
That its foot was on earth and its top in the sky.

{start_of_chorus}
Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree,
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.

Come let us ascend! All may climb it who will;
For the angels of Jacob are guarding it still:
And remember each step that by faith we passo'er,
Some prophet or martyr has trod it before.

And when we arrive at the haven of rest
We shall hear the glad words, "Come up hither, ye blest,
Here are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss."
O who would not climb such a ladder as this?

Set up to heaven on earth?

Look upward to the skies,
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize!

When on life a darkness falls,
When the mist flows chilling,
Paths and sign posts lost in doubt,
Loveless, unfulfilling,
Reach us, Jesus, from Your cross,
Though we feel forsaken;
Keep us through the aching night
Till new dawns awaken.

When the dreams and vows of youth
Painfully accuse us,
Stab our conscience, steal our worth,
Christ will not refuse us:
Peace the world cannot provide,
Daily resurrection,
Strong companion at our side
For each new direction.

Come and meet Him, Friend and lord,
Thro' the gospel story:
Open door to life and peace,
Window into glory.
All who seek Him, soon are found,
Made His close relation:
Christ our pathway, Christ our home,
Christ our sure foundation.

This troubled [Bb]world, is not my [C7]final [Bb]home.

For Your own will ever plead:
Fill us with Your love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.

In Your church's sacred fold,
Weak and healthy, poor and wealthy,
Sad and joyful, young and old.

So may we for others live.

Freely may Your servants give.
Yours the gold and Yours the silver,
Yours the wealth of land and sea;

Held in solemn trust will be.

Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love and Prince of Peace;
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease.
By Your patient years of toiling,
By Your silent hours of pain,
Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
Stem our selfish greed of gain.

Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty,

Plenty for all, if we learn how to share it,
Riches undreamed of to fathom and find.

Long have our human wars ruined its harvest;
Long has earth bowed to the terror of forced;
Long have we wasted what others have need of,
Poisoned the fountain of life at its source.

Come, Holy Ghost with grace outpoured,
To teach what Christ hath taught.
In all our learning may we seek
That wisdom from above
Which comes to all: the brave, the meek,
Who ask in faith and love.

We praise Thee thro' our bodies, Lord,
Kept strong to do Thy will;
Thy Spirit's temples, which afford
A means to praise Thee still.
We give ourselves, a sacrifice,
To live as unto Thee;
For Thou alone hast paid the price
To bring salvation free.

We praise Thee in our hearts, O king,
Kept pure to know Thy ways;
And raise to Thee a hymn to sing
Eternally Thy praise.
Altho adoring hearts will bow
As age on ages roll;
We praise Thee in our beings now,
Mind, body, heart, and soul.

Father, who on us do shower
Gifts of plenty form Your dower,
To Your people give the power
All Your gifts to use aright.

Give pure happiness in leisure
Temperance in every pleasure,
Wholesome use of earthly treasure
Bodies clean and spirits bright.

Lift from this and every nation
All that brings us degradation;
Quell the forces of temptation;
Put Your enemies to flight.

Father, You who sought and found us,
Son of God, whose love has bound us,
Holy Spirit, in us, round us,
Hear us, Godhead infinite.

O God, whose will is life and good
For all of mortal breath:
Unite in bonds of servanthood
All those who strive with death.

Make strong their hands and hearts and wills
To drive disease afar,
To strive against the body's ills
And wage Your healing war.

By healing of the sick and blind,
Christ's mercy they proclaim,
Make known the great physician's mind,
Affirm the Savior's name.

Before them set Your gracious will,
That they, with heart and soul,
To You may consecrate their skill
And make the sufferer whole.

Rules in endless majesty;

Guard them surely in their need
From the vanity of power
And the emptiness of greed;
Let them see the truth of lowness,

Of eternal day.
