Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

This is my Father's world,

And to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--

His hand the wonders wrought.

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

This is our Father's world:

O let us not forget

That though the wrong is great and strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

He trusts us with his world

to keep it clean and fair

All earth and trees, all skies and seas

All creatures everywhere

Verse 3

This is my Father’s world:

God shines in all that’s fair;

In rustling grass I hear him pass

He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father's world:

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King: let heaven ring!

God reigns; let earth be glad!

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

Why should I feel discouraged,

Why should the shadows come,

Why should my heart be lonely,

And long for heav’n and home;

When Jesus is my portion?

My constant Friend is he;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches me.

Refrain

I sing because I’m happy,

I sing because I’m free;

For his eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches me.

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Whenever I am tempted,

Whenever clouds arise;

When songs give place to sighing,

When hope within me dies,

I draw the closer to him,

From care he sets me free;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know he watches me. [Refrain]

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

I heard an old, old story

How a Savior came from glory

How He gave His life on Calvary

To save a wretch like me

I heard about His groaning

Of His precious blood's atoning

Then I repented of my sins and won the victory

Refrain:

O victory in Jesus

My Savior forever

He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood

He loved me 'ere I knew Him

And all my love is due Him

He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

I heard about His healing

Of His cleansing power revealing

How He made the lame to walk again

And caused the blind to see

And then I cried 'dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit'

And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory [Refrain]

Verse 3

I heard about a mansion

He has built for me in glory

And I heard about the streets of gold

Beyond the crystal sea

About the angels singing

And the old redemption story

And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory

Lyrics:

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame;

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain

Refrain:

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it someday for a crown

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary [Refrain]

Verse 3

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

A wondrous beauty I see;

For ‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

Verse 4

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;

Then he’ll call me someday to my home far away,

Where his glory forever I’ll share. [Refrain]

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

Abide with me--fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens--Lord, with me abide;

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.

Verse 2 (sung at the ending)

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;

Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see;

O Lord who changes not, abide with me.

Verse 3

I need your presence every passing hour;

What but your grace

Can foil the tempter’s pow’r?

Who like yourself my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me

Verse 4

I fear no foe, with you at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness;

Where is death’s sting?

Where, grave, your victory?

I triumph still if you abide with me.

Verse 5

Hold now your cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom

And point me to the skies;

Heaven’s morning breaks

And earth’s vain shadows flee;

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Amen.

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. [Refrain]

We will offer our tribute of praise,

For the glorious gift of his love,

And the blessings that hallow our days. [Refrain]

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

Verse 2 (sung at the ending)

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Verse 3

Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

Lyrics:

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Tune my heart to sing thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it

Mount of thy redeeming love

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Here I raise to thee an altar [my ebenezer]

Hither by thy help I've come

And I hope, by thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wandering from the fold of God

He, to rescue me from danger

Interposed his precious blood

Verse 3

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be

Let thy goodness like a fetter

Bind my wandering heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for thy courts above

Amen

dressed in his righteousness alone,

faultless to stand before the throne. ​[Refrain]

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 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.”

and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

but purer and higher and greater will be

our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Lyrics:

Verse 1: (sung at the beginning)

Crown him with many crowns,

the Lamb upon his throne.

Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns

all music but its own.

Awake, my soul, and sing

of him who died for thee,

and hail him as thy matchless king

through all eternity.

Verse 2: (sung at the end)

Crown him the Lord of life,

who triumphed o'er the grave,

who rose victorious to the strife

for those he came to save;

his glories now we sing

who died and reigns on high,

he died eternal life to bring,

and lives that death may die.

Verse 3:

Crown him the Lord of love;

behold his hands and side,

rich wounds, yet visible above,

in beauty glorified;

no angels in the sky

can fully bear that sight,

but downward bend their wond’ring eyes

at mysteries so bright.

Verse 4:

Crown him the Lord of peace--

his Kingdom is at hand;

from pole to pole let warfare cease

and Christ rule ev’ry land!

A city stands on high,

his glories it displays,

and there the nationals “Holy” cry

in joyful hymns of praise.

Verse 5:

Crown him the Lord of years,

the potentate of time,

Creator of the rolling spheres,

ineffably sublime.

All hail, Redeemer, hail!

for thou hast died for me;

thy praise and glory shall not fail

through all eternity.

Amen.
