Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; John Williams Hymnal: The Worshipbook #409 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield, Be Thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of deaths, and hell's Destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to thee, I will ever give to thee. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 104 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

Glorying in the Cross

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #519 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: In the cross of Christ I glory Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me: Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance, streaming, Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

Living in Christ

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #521 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: My gracious Lord, I own thy right Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear thy dictates and obey. 2 What is my being, but for thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? Thine ever-smiling face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live, To him who for my ransom died; Nor could the bowers of Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at his side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, his saving power.

"Bought with a price"

Author: Samuel Davies Hymnal: Laudes Domini #522 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Lord, I am thine, entirely thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, Purchased and saved by blood divine, With full consent thine I would be, And own thy sovereign right in me. 2 Grant one poor sinner more a place Among the children of thy grace; A wretched sinner, lost to God, But ransomed by Immanuel's blood. 3 Thine would I love, thine would I die, Be thine through all eternity; The vow is past beyond repeal; And now I set the solemn seal. 4 Here at that cross where flows the blood That bought my guilty soul for God, Thee, my new Master now I call, And consecrate to thee my all. 5 Do thou assist a feeble worm, The great engagement to perform; Thy grace can full assistance lend, And on that grace I dare depend.

"Forget him not"

Author: Joshua Marshman Hymnal: Laudes Domini #523 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: O thou, my soul, forget no more Lyrics: 1 O thou, my soul, forget no more, The Friend who all thy sorrows bore, Let every idol be forgot; But, O my soul, forget him not. 2 Renounce thy works and ways, with grief, And fly to this divine relief; Nor him forget, who left his throne, And for thy life gave up his own. 3 Eternal truth and mercy shine In him, and he himself is thine: And canst thou, then, with sin beset, Such charms, such matchless charms forget? 4 Oh, no: till life itself depart, His name shall cheer and warm my heart; And, lisping this, from earth I'll rise, And join the chorus of the skies.

Bearing the Cross

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Laudes Domini #534 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be! Perish, every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue; Oh, while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show thy fact, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me; Heaven will bring me sweeter rest! Oh, tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In thy service, pain is pleasure, With thy favor, loss is gain. I have called thee--Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on thee! Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. Scripture: Matthew 10:32 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Christ on the Cross

Author: Richard Lee Hymnal: Laudes Domini #542 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: When I view my Saviour bleeding Lyrics: 1 When I view my Saviour bleeding, For my sins, upon the tree; Oh, how wondrous!--how exceeding Great his love appears to me! Floods of deep distress and anguish, To impede his labors, came; Yet they all could not extinguish Love's eternal, burning flame. 2 Now redemption is completed, Full salvation is procured; Death and Satan are defeated, By the sufferings he endured. Now the gracious Mediator Risen to the courts of bliss, Claims for me, a sinful creature, Pardon, righteousness, and peace! 3 Sure such infinite affection Lays the highest claims to mine; All my powers, without exception, Should in fervent praises join. Jesus, fit me for thy service; Form me for thyself alone; I am thy most costly purchase,-- Take possession of thine own. Scripture: Numbers 21:8 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Foulkes Hymnal: The Worshipbook #579 (1972) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 Take thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray; Give us the mind of Christ each passing day; Teach us to know the truth that sets us free; Grant us in all our thoughts to honor thee. 2 Take thou our hearts, O Christ, they are thine own; Come thou within our souls and claim thy throne; Help us to shed abroad thy deathless love; Use us to make the earth like heaven above. 3 Take thou our wills, Most High! Hold thou full sway; Have in our inmost souls thy perfect way; Guard thou each sacred hour from selfish ease; Guide thou our ordered lives as thou dost please. 4 Take thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will; Through our surrendered souls thy plans fulfill. We yield ourselves to Thee— time, talents, all; We hear, and henceforth heed, thy sovereign call. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 22:37 Tune Title: HALL

Veiled in Darkness Judah Lay

Up from death’s dark vale arise Voices of a world in grief, Prayers of men who seek relief: Now our darkness pierce again, "Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men." 3 Light of light, we humbly pray, Shine upon your world today; Break the gloom of our dark night, Fill our souls with love and light, Send your blessed word again, "Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men." Amen. Scripture: Romans 13:12 Tune Title: PITTSBURGH
