O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 Your people hold this treasure
from you, its source divine,
a light that to all ages
throughout the earth will shine;
it is the chart and compass
that all life's voyage through,
'mid mists and rocks and tempest,
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 Oh make your church, dear Saviour,
a lamp of purest gold,
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old;
oh teach your wandering pilgrims
by this their path to trace,
till, cloud and darkness ended,
they see you face to face. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Used With Tune: CHENIES

And crown my journey's end.

I’m here on business for my King.

This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing:
O be ye reconciled– thus saith my Lord and King–
O be ye reconciled to God!

Repent and turn away from sin’s seductive snare;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye–
And that’s my business for my King. [Refrain]
3 My home is brighter far than Sharon’s rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain;
My Sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell–
And that’s my business for my King. [Refrain] Used With Tune: THE KING'S BUSINESS

Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n:
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
5 Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly.
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee! Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: BETHANY

Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 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 It will surely hold in the straits of fear,
when the breakers tell and the reef is near;
though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow? [Refrain]
3 It will surely hold in the floods of death,
when the waters cold chill our latest breath;
on the rising tide you can never fail
while our hopes abide within the veil. [Refrain]
4 When our eyes behold, through the gathering night,
the city of gold, our harbour bright,
we shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore,
with the storms all past for evermore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD
