Call to Worship
Praise the Lord.
The Lord’s name be praised!
We have gathered to praise our gracious God.
Praise God,
from Whom all blessings flow!
Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together!
Love Lifted Me
I was sinking deep in sin,
far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within,
sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea,
heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else could help, love lifted me
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else could help, love lifted me.
All my heart to Him I’d give,
ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessed presence live,
ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true,
merits my soul’s best songs
Faithful, loving service too, to him belongs.
Souls in danger, look above,
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love,
out of the angry waves
He’s the Master of the sea,
billows his will obey
He your Savior wants to be,
be saved today.
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
What a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, Leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, Leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlasting arms
O how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
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
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
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 thy friends despise, forsake thee
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there
Sweet Hour of Prayer
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Pass Me Not
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heav’n but Thee.
Blessing
God has shown you what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
