HYMN 121
WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS
[1]
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
[2]
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
[3]
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:
Did e’er such love or sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
[4]
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
[1]
O Lord my God
When I, in awesome wonder,
Consider all the work
Your hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the mighty thunder,
Your power throughout
The universe displayed.
Refrain
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God to You
“How greatTthou art!
How great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God to You
“How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!”
[2]
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.
HYMN 123
I’VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD
[1]
I’ve a message from the Lord, Hallelujah
The message unto you I’ll give
T’is recorded in His word, Hallelujah
It is only that you look and live
Chorus
Look and live o sinner live
Look to Jesus now and live
It is recorded in His word, Hallelujah
It is only that you look and live
[2]
I’ve a message full of love, Hallelujah
A message, o my friend for you
T’is a message from above, Hallelujah
Jesus said it and I know it is true
[3]
Life is offered unto you, Hallelujah
Eternal life you shall have
If you’ll only look to Him, Hallelujah
Look to Jesus who alone can save
HYMN 124
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
[1]
Great is Thy faithfulness, o God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever will be
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided!
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
[2]
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their course above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
[3]
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
HYMN 125
HARK, MY SOUL, IT IS THE LORD
[1]
Hark, my soul, it is the Lord!
“Tis thy Saviour, hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
“Say, poor sinner, lovest thou me?”
[2]
I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
[3]
Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bares?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
[4]
Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death
HYMN 126
I AM TRUSTING THEE, LORD JESUS,
[1]
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free.
Refrain
I am trusting,
Trusting only Thee.
I am trusting, trusting,
Trusting only Thee.
[2]
I am trusting Thee for pardon;
At thy feet I bow;
For Thy grace and tender mercy,
Trusting now.
[3]
I am trusting Thee for cleansing
In the crimson flood;
Trusting Thee to make me holy
By Thy blood.
HYMN 127
THE CHURCHES’ ONE FOUNDATION
[1]
The Churches’ one foundation
Is Jesus Christ the Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word;
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died
[2]
Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses
Partakes one holy food
And to one hope she presses
With every grace endured
[3]
‘Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for ever more
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest
[1]
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
Refrain
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love.
[2]
Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear
When the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rave and the wild winds blow
Shall the angry wave then your back o’erflow?
[3]
Will your anchor hold in the floods of death
When the waters cold chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide you can never fail,
While the anchor holds within the well.
[4]
Will your eyes behold through the morning light
The city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore
When the storms are past for ever more?
HYMN 129
THROUGH ALL THE CHANGING SCENES OF LIFE
[1]
Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
[2]
Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed
From my example comfort take,
And charm their grief to rest.
[3]
O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt his name!
When in distress to Him I called
He to my rescue came.
[4] The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just:
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succour trust.
HYMN 130
THE DAY THOU GAVEST, LORD, IS ENDED
[1]
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended;
The darkness falls at Thy behest
To Thee our morning hymns ascended;
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest
[2]
We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping
And rest not now by day or night
[3]
As o’er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day
The voice of prayer is never silent
Nor dies the strain of praise away
[4]
The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren ‘neath the western sky
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high
[5]
So be it, Lord, Thy throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away
Thy Kingdom stands and grows forever
Till all Thy creature own thy sway
HYMN 131
LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVE EXCELLING
[1]
Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth came down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesu, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art’
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart
[2]
Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy grace receive
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more, Thy temples leave;
There we would be always blessing
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect love.
[3]
Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise!
HYMN 132
LOW IN THE GRAVE HE LAY
[1]
Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Saviour,
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord
Refrain
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain
And He lives forever
with His saints to reign
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
[2]
Vainly they watch His bed,
Jesus my Saviour;
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!
[3]
Death cannot keep His Pray,
Jesus my Saviour;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
HYMN 133
MAN OF SORROWS WHAT A NAME
[1]
Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
[2]
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
[3]
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
[4]
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
[5]
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
HYMN 134
MASTER, SPEAK THY SERVANT HEARETH
[1]
Master, speak! Thy servant heareth,
Waiting for Thy gracious word,
Longing for Thy voice that cheereth;
Master! let it now be heard.
I am listening, Lord, for Thee:
What hast Thou to say to me?
[2]
Speak to me by name, O Master,
Let me know it is to me;
Speak, that I may follow faster,
With a step more firm and free,
Where the Shepherd leads the flock,
In the shadow of the rock.
[3]
Master, speak! Though least and lowest,
Let me not unheard depart;
Master, speak! For O, Thou knowest
All the yearning of my heart,
Knowest all its truest need:
Speak! and make me blest indeed
[4]
Master, speak! and make me ready,
When Thy voice is truly heard,
With obedience glad and steady
Still to follow every word.
I am listening, Lord, for Thee:
Master, speak! O, speak to me!
HYMN 135
IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE
[1]
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
[2]
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love
[3]
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
But of all Thy rich graces this grace, Lord, impart
Take the veil from our face, the vile from our heart.
[4]
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee.
Walter C. Smith
HYMN 136
LORD, THY WORD ABIDETH
[1]
Lord, Thy Word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth;
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.
[2]
When our foes are near us,
Then Thy Word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.
[3]
When the storms are o’er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
[4]
Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy Word imparted
To the simple hearted?
HYMN 137
JESUS LIVES THY TERROR NOW
[1]
Jesus lives! Thy terror now
Can, o death no more appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
Thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us.
Alleluia!
[2]
Jesus lives! henceforth is death
But the gate of life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath,
When we pass its gloomy portal.
Alleluia!
[3]
Jesus lives! for us He died;
Then, alone to Jesus living
Pure in heart may we abide,
Glory to our Savior giving.
Alleluia!
[4]
Jesus lives! our hearts know well
Naught from us His love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor powers of hell
Tear us from His keeping ever.
Alleluia!
[5]
Jesus lives! to Him the throne
Over all the world is given;
May we go where He is gone,
Rest and reign with Him in heaven.
Alleluia!
HYMN 138
JESUS SHALL REIGN WHERE’ER THE SUN
[1]
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
[2]
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His Name.
[3]
Blessings abound where’ver He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blesst.
[4]
To Him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown His head;
His Name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
[5]
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen!
HYMN 139
JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE
[1]
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
[2]
All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.
[3]
Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.
[4]
Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us, brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.
HYMN 140
KING OF GLORY, KING OF PEACE
[1]
King of glory, King of peace,
I will love Thee;
And that love may never cease,
I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
Thou hast heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou hast spared me.
[2]
Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing Thee,
And the cream of all my heart
I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou alone didst clear me;
And alone, when they replied,
Thou didst hear me.
[3]
Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise Thee;
In my heart, though not in Heaven,
I can raise Thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
To enroll Thee:
E’en eternity’s too short
To extol Thee.
King of glory, King of peace
HYMN 141
HERE LET US ALL GREAT AND SMALL REJOICE
[1]
Here let us all great and small rejoice
All is well, all is well
Long awaited promise fulfilled today
All is well, all is well
God is great and love, peace has come to us
Man is free to love; Jesus for us all;
Heavenly light shine, rejoice;
All is well, all is well
[2]
Hark; morning bells are ringing with love
All is well, all is well
Angels sing the songs of the Saviour's birth
All is well, all is well
Mortals awake from your sleep and hear
The news of great deliverance
The Son of God is here with us
All is well, all is well
[3]
Hail! The heav'n born Prince of Peace
All is well, all is well
Light and life to all He brings
All is well, all is well
Joyful you all arise and hail
Jesus; Emmanuel our King
Glory! Glory! Eternal Light
All is well, all is well
HYMN 142
MY GOD ACCEPT MY HEART THIS DAY
[1]
My God accept my heart this day,
And make it wholly Yours;
That I from You no more may stray,
No more from You decline.
[2]
Before the cross of Him who died
Behold I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
And Christ be all in all.
[3]
Anoint me with Your heavenly grace,
And seal me for Your own;
That I may see Your glorious face
And worship at Your throne.
[4]
Let every thought and work and word,
To You be ever given;
Then life shall be Your service, Lord
And death the gate of heaven.
[5]
All glory to the Father due,
All glory His true Son;
All glory be the Spirit too,
While endless ages reign.
HYMN 143
MY JESUS I LOVE THEE, I KNOW THOU ART MINE
[1]
My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou;
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
[2]
I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary tree.
I love thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
[3]
I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death due lies cold on my brow,
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
[4]
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
HYMN 144
PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR
[1]
Pass me not, o gentle Saviour
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Saviour! Saviour! Hear my humble cry;
And while others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.
[2]
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief
Saviour! Saviour! Hear my humble cry;
And while others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.
[3]
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Saviour! Saviour! Hear my humble cry;
And while others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by
HYMN 145
THERE IS A LAND OF PURE DELIGHT
[1]
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day exclude the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav'nly land from us.
[2]
Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolls between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shiv'ring on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
[3]
O could we make our doubts remove
Those gloomy doubts that rise
And see the Canaan that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes.
Could we but climb where Moses stood
And view the landscape o'er
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood
Should fright us from the shore.
[1]
Yours is the glory
Risen, conquering Son:
Death is now defeated
Victory has been won!
Angels in bright clothing
Rolled the stone away,
Left the folded grave cloths
Where your body lay
Refrain
Yours is the glory
Risen, conquering Son:
Death is now defeated
Victory has been won!
[2]
See how He meets us,
Risen from the grave:
Lovingly He meets us
Who He came to save
Let the Church with gladness
Songs of triumph sing
For the Lord is living:
Death has lost its sting.

He is risen, He is risen, He is risen indeed.

The Lord is risen, The Lord is risen

HYMN 149
TEN THOUSAND TIMES TEN THOUSAND
[1]
Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steps of light
'Tis finished, all is finished
Their fight with death and sin
Fling open wide the golden gates
And let the victors in
[2]
What rush of hallelujahs
Fill all the earth and sky
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day for which creation
And all its tribes were made
O joy for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
[3]
O then what ruptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore
What knitting severed friendships up
Where parting are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brings with tears of late
Orphans no longer fatherless
Nor widows desolate
