Sunday Morning Praise


Come, Ye Children of the Lord

Come, ye children of the Lord,
Let us sing with one accord,
Let us raise a joyful strain
To our Lord, who soon will reign
On this earth, when it shall be
Cleansed from all iniquity;
When all men from sin will cease,
And will live in love and peace.

O, how joyful it will be
When our Savior we shall see!
When in splendor He’ll descend,
Then all wickedness shall end.
O what songs we then will sing
To our Savior, Lord and King!
O what love will then bear sway,
When our fears shall flee away!

All arrayed in spotless white,
We will dwell ’mid truth and light.
We will sing the songs of praise;
We will shout in joyous lays.
Earth shall then be cleansed from sin.
Every living thing therein
Shall in love and beauty dwell;
Then with joy each heart will swell.



Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

into the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah 33:11

oly:


A Sacrifice of Praise

Yes, Jesus has saved me, O blest be His name!
Has saved me from sin and its power;
I came a poor sinner confessing my guilt;
I asked for forgiveness; “I cried If Thou wilt!”
And He saved me that very same hour.

I hungered for righteousness, blest be His name!
He answered me, “Thou shalt be filled!”
I yielded Him everything man doth desire;
He showed me corruption, then cleansed me with fire,
And His love thro’ my whole being thrilled.

He keeps me so sweetly thro’ sorrow and pain,
That I praise Him by day and by night;
No cloud is so black that His love cannot fill;
He hides me in darkness, He holdeth me still,
Till the gloom softly fades into light.

He leadeth me gently, and woos me along
To heights ever looming above;
I gaze in His face while I walk the lone way,
And winds that are wintry, grow balmy as May,
’Neath the breath of His infinite love.

I praise Him for grace that was sent from above,
To save a lost sinner from hell.
I praise Him for mercy, I praise Him for love,
Too wondrous for mortal to tell.

All the sins that me ensnare.

Like to Thine our great atonement,
Beautiful beyond compare.

Every hour I need Thy blessing,
Daily need Thy wondrous love,
Love so tender, so protecting,
Coming from Thy throne above.
For Thy loving care and blessing,
Make me thankful day by day,
By my walk and daily living,
Praising Christ the Living Way.

Every hour I need Thy blessing,
Every moment need Thy care,
Until Thou my soul possessing,
Shall reflect Thine image there.
Then to Christ the King of Glory,
He who bought me with great price,
I shall sing the old, old story,
Christ my Lord, my sacrifice.

Psalm 4:1

My Prayer

O Father, hear me as I pray to Thee,
I know that I am far from purity;
But Jesus died that sinful men might live,
So in His name I ask Thee to forgive.

I pray that Thou wilt pardon ev’ry sin;
O Lord, forgive and make me pure within.
Plant a desire for service in my heart
And give me strength to always do my part.

Tonight, O Father, as the shadows creep
And I so gently close my eyes in sleep,
I pray that Thou wilt guard me through the night
And keep me safe till comes the morning light.

When morning comes, oh, let me rise to work,
Forbid that duty I should ever shirk;
And when at last my race on earth is run,
Grant, Lord, that I may hear Thee say, “Well done.”

Father, dear Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, dear Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24​

You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence.
Psalm 31:20

​

oly:


In the Secret of His Presence

In the secret of His presence how my soul delights to hide!
Oh, how precious are the lessons which I learn at Jesus’ side!
Earthly cares can never vex me, neither trials lay me low;
For when Satan comes to tempt me, to the secret place I go,
To the secret place I go.

When my soul is faint and thirsty, ’neath the shadow of His wing
There is cool and pleasant shelter, and a fresh and crystal spring;
And my Savior rests beside me, as we hold communion sweet:
If I tried, I could not utter what He says when thus we meet,
What He says when thus we meet.

Only this I know: I tell Him all my doubts, my griefs and fears;
Oh, how patiently He listens! and my drooping soul He cheers:
Do you think He ne’er reproves me? What a false Friend He would be,
If He never, never told me of the sins which He must see,
Of the sins which He must see.

Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the Lord?
Go and hide beneath His shadow: this shall then be your reward;
And whene’er you leave the silence of that happy meeting place,
You must mind and bear the image of the Master in your face,
Of the Master in your face.

Psalm 32:7

Thou Art My Hiding Place, O Lord

Thou art my hiding place, O Lord, in Thee I put my trust;
Encouraged by Thy holy Word, a feeble child of dust;
I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea;
And ’tis enough my Savior died, my Savior died for me.

When storms of fierce temptation beat, and furious foes assail,
My refuge is the mercy seat, my hope within the veil.
From strife of tongues and bitter words my spirit flies to Thee:
Joy to my heart the thought affords, my Savior died for me.

’Mid trials heavy to the be borne, when mortal strength is vain,
A heart with grief and anguish torn, a body racked with pain,
Ah! what could the sufferer rest, bid every murmur flee,
But this, the witness in my breast that Jesus died for me?

And when Thine awful voice commands this body to decay,
And life, in its last lingering sands, is ebbing fast away,
Then, though it be in accents weak, and faint and tremblingly,
O give me strength in death to speak, “My Savior died for me.”

Who is life in life to me? Who the death of death will be?
Who will place me on His right, with the countless hosts of light?

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. 1 Corinthians 3:7-9
​

oly:


God the Lord Does Ask

God the Lord does ask us to do a task,
Whether planting or watering seed.
We are servants all of our God who has called
Us to come to Him and believe.
We all are God’s fellow workers;
We’re His field where His seed does grow.

God alone does know how to make things grow;
Let none quarrel or be filled with pride.
For the ones who sow and who water know
That their purpose is unified.
We all are God’s fellow workers;
Each man’s labor will bring reward.

By God’s gift of grace, a foundation’s placed
And a building ere long does rise.
But we each must take care how we build our share;
It must rest upon Jesus Christ.
For we are the Lord’s own building;
Our foundation is Christ the Lord.

If we build with gold that has worth untold
Or with silver or costly stones,
Then our work still will last when the judgment has passed;
Its true character will be shown.
The Day will reveal each building;
Each man’s work will be tested by fire.

If our work displays only wood, straw, hay,
We will suffer great loss and shame.
For though we will survive, we will win no prize;
We’ll escape only as through flames.
O Lord, may we build with wisdom,
That our work may come forth as gold!

Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.

Heav’n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen;
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast.
O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav’n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7​

God, Whose Love is Always Stronger

God, whose love is always stronger
Than our weakness, pride and fear,
In your world, we pray and wonder
How to be more faithful here.
Hate too often grows inside us;
Fear rules what the nations do.
So we pray, when wars divide us:
Give us love, Lord! Make us new!

Love is patient, kind and caring,
Never arrogant or rude,
Never boastful, all things bearing;
Love rejoices in the truth.
When we’re caught up in believing
War will make the terror cease,
Show us Jesus’ way of living;
May our strength be in your peace.

May our faith in you be nourished;
May your churches hear your call.
May our lives be filled with courage
As we speak your love for all.
Now emboldened by your Spirit
Who has given us new birth,
Give us love, that we may share it
Till your love renews the earth!

Splendor and majesty before the Lord are found.
Both strength and joy with Him do dwell; bring offerings, come bow down.
Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due His name;
The splendor of His holiness now worship and proclaim.

Let now the heav’ns rejoice; let earth give glad refrain.
The world is ’stablished, ne’er to be moved; tell everyone God reigns!
Now let the sea resound, be jubilant all fields;
The forest trees will sing for joy; earth’s judge is now revealed.
Give thanks to God the Lord; His goodness now declare.

Show me, if I tempted be, how to find all strength in Thee,
And a perfect triumph win over every bosom sin.

Keep my feet from secret snares, keep my eyes, O God, from tears,
Every step Thy grace attend, and my soul from death defend.
Then when fall the shades of night, all within shall still be light;

Hear His loving, gentle voice;

Yes, I know He ever loves me,
Daily guides my erring feet,
And I’m resting in His tender, fond embrace;
But I want to know Him better,
And my dear Redeemer meet,
I want to see my Savior face to face.

When life’s sun is slowly setting,
Twilight shadows veil the sky,
And I’m near the ending of life’s weary race;
In my heart will be this longing,
None but Christ can satisfy,
I want to see my Savior face to face.

When I tread the crystal pavement
Of the new Jerusalem,
Where my Savior has prepared for me a place,
Where the angel choirs are singing
Praise and glory to the Lamb,
O then I’ll see my Savior face to face.

O I want to see my Savior face to face,
Who hath loved me and redeemed me by His grace;
In His kingdom, crowned with glory
On His everlasting throne,
I want to see my Savior face to face.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3​

1 John 4:7

Though I Speak

Though I speak in every language, prophesy for God above,
Though I understand all mysteries,I am nothing without love.
Though through faith I can move mountains, give the poor all that I gain,
Though I’m burned alive for Jesus, without love, my life is vain.

Love is patient, kind, and selfless, envies not, nor boasts in pride,
Is not rude or quickly angered, never holds a grudge inside.
Love does not delight in evil, but with truth rejoices e’er;
Trusts, protects, and hopes forever, perseveres and always cares.

One day prophecies will finish, tongues will in that day be stilled;
Knowledge, too, will pass forever, when God’s Word is all fulfilled.
Now we only know a fraction, and as children think and speak;
When perfection comes upon us, childish ways no more we’ll seek.

Now we see as in a mirror, in a blurred and hazy way.
But reflections soon will vanish, face to face we’ll see some day.
In that day we’ll all know fully, as we’re known by God above;
Till then, faith, hope, love still linger, but the greatest far is love.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13​

Enough for all, enough for each, enough for evermore.

And every unspoken desire His wisdom doth grant or withhold.

He knoweth the way that I take, each step of that way He hath planned;
And, walking through sunshine or storm, I walk in the shade of His hand.
In deserts untrodden and drear, where foes in the darkness may hide,
He leaveth me never alone, He sendeth me light and a guide.

God knoweth the need of my soul — The trial that calls for His grace,
The weakness that leans on His strength, the fear that looks up to His face.
He knoweth what sifting is best to scatter the chaff from the wheat
And lay all my self-righteous pride low down in the dust at His feet.

He knoweth me — yet He can love, can wait with love's patience divine,
My stubborn and arrogant heart its will to His own to resign;
He knoweth my frame is but dust, He knoweth how much it can bear;
I rest in that knowledge supreme; I trust in His power and care.
