Lyrics:
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing
He chastens and
hastens His will to make known
The wicked oppressing now cease from
distressing
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining
Ordaining,
maintaining His kingdom divine
So from the beginning the fight we were
winning
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant
And pray that Thou
still our Defender will be
Let Thy congregation escape
tribulation
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Lyrics:
Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined
sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He
stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Lifted up was He to die
"It is finished!" was His cry
Now in
heav'n exalted high
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King
All His ransomed home to
bring
Then anew His song we'll sing
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lyrics:
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord
A wonderful Savior to me
He
hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
Where rivers of pleasure I
see
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry,
thirsty land
He hideth my life with the depths of His love
And
covers me there with His hand
And covers me there with His hand
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, he taketh my burdens away
He
holdeth me up and I shall not be moved
He giveth me strength as my
day
When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in
clouds of the sky
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love
I'll
shout with the millions on high

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants

In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found
relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my

To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting
soul to bless

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature
O Thou of God and man the
Son
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul's glory,

Robed in the
blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
Who makes
the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all the
twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than
all the angels heaven can boast

Lyrics:
This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears
All nature
sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres
This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget
That though the
wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet
This is my Father's world: I rest in the thought
Of rocks and trees
of skies and seas his hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father's world, he shines in all that's fair
In the
rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere

Scriptural Reference:
"Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things." 1 Peter 1:10-12
