A Word of Grace

How sweet and awful is the place with Christ within the doors, while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores. While all our hearts and all our songs join to admire the feast, each of us cries, with thankful tongue, "Lord, why was I a guest? "Why was I made to hear Thy voice, and enter while there's room, when thousands make a wretched choice and rather starve than come?&...

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is His new creation, by water and the word. From heav'n He came and sought her to be His holy bride; with His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died. 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...

1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You, Op'ning to the sun above.

Come, let us sing of a wonderful love, tender and true, out of the heart of the Father above, streaming to me and to you: wonderful love dwells in the heart of the Father above.

O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace!

Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease, 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace.

I will sing of the mercy of Jesus The name by which all men are saved Who laid down His life for our ransom The debt of redemption to pay I will sing of the wonder of Jesus And the Cross that He bore for our sin I will sing of the love that has conquered the grave And the day He's returning again I will sing of the power of Jesus Through whom all of creation was made Whose glorious light shine...

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,  let me hide myself in thee;  let the water and the blood,  from thy wounded side which flowed,  be of sin the double cure;  save from wrath and make me pure.  Not the labors of my hands  can fulfill thy law's demands;  could my zeal no respite know,  could my tears forever flow,  all for sin could not atone;  thou must save, and thou alone.  Nothing in my hand I br...

Come, lift your hearts on high, Alleluia, Amen! Let praises fill the sky, Alleluia, Amen! He is our Guide and Friend, to us He'll condescend; His love shall never end, Alleluia, Amen!

Help me, O my blessed Saviour, In Thy vineyard ev’ry day; Help me from the fields to gather Golden harvest by the way. Refrain: Help me, O my blessed Saviour, To be like Thee all my day— When I sow, or reap, or gather, When I speak, or sing, or pray.

Teach me thy way, O Lord; teach me thy way! Thy guiding grace afford; teach me thy way! Help me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight; lead me with heav’nly light; teach me thy way! When I am sad at heart, teach me thy way! When earthly joys depart, teach me thy way! In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress, in failure or success, teach me thy way!

With my whole heart I humbly seek you; Now use my life, O Lord, I pray. I yield my stubborn will completely; May your commandments light my way. Chorus My life, Lord, is yours to control; I give You my heart and my soul. I'll seek Your will, never mine, Rich treasure to find. Give wisdom to choices I make, Along ev'ry path that I take. So when I complete life's race, "Well done&qu...

Come to the feast of heav'nly wine, O man! and make this blessing thine; Your Lord himself, invites to up, And share the blessings of the cup. Praise ye the Saviour, ye that eat, Since he affords to you this treat! Ye are with his rich bounties fed, And Jesus is your living bread.

O God most merciful and true, Thy nature to my soul impart; ’Stablish with me the cov'nant new, And write perfection on my heart. To real holiness restored, O let me gain my Saviour’s mind; And in the knowledge of my Lord Fulness of life eternal find. Remember, Lord, my sins no more, That them I may no more forget; But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore With speechless wonder at thy feet.

Sweet is the promise of God's love, Given in mercy from the realms above, Life and salvation full and free, What wondrous love to me.

My heart was distressed ’neath Jehovah’s dread frown, And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down; I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay, Who tenderly brought me out to golden day. Refrain: He brought me out of the miry clay, He set my feet on the Rock to stay; He puts a song in my soul today, A song of praise, hallelujah!

I am resting on the promise Of the blessed King of Kings, That my soul shall dwell in safety, 'Neath the shadow of His wings. CHORUS I am resting O how calmly, In His all protecting care; For His word of life assures me, He will hear and answer prayer.

From Greenland's icy mountains,From India's coral strand,Where Afric's sunny fountainsRoll down their golden sand,From many an ancient river,From many a palmy plain,They call us to deliverTheir land from error's chain. What though the spicy breezesBlow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;Though every prospect pleases,And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindnessThe gifts of God are strown;The heathen in...

Onward, Christian soldiers,  marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before! Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle, see his banner go! Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before!

Someday when the toils Of life are over And the saints are caught away We will gather 'round The throne of Jesus For His coronation day I want to be there When we crown Him King of kings I want to be there When the court of heaven rings With the happy song The angel chorus sings I want to be there When we crown Him King of kings All who love the Lord Will be assembled Numberless the gath'r...

There's a crown in heaven for the striving soul, Which the blessed Jesus himself will place On the head of each who shall faithful prove, Even unto death, in the heavenly race.

There's a bright day coming,  A bright day coming, There's a bright d...

When Jesus comes to reward His servants, Whether it be noon or night, Faithful to Him will He find us watching, With our lamps all trimmed and bright? O can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul’s bright home? Say, will He find you and me still watching, Waiting, watching when the Lord shall come?
