1. Hymn: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
Hymn: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
Author: Timothy Dwight (1752-1817)
1. I love Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
2. I love Thy Church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3. For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4. Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5. Sure as Thy truths shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

Hymn: Crown Him With Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges (1800-1894)
1. Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own!

And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
2. Crown Him the Lord of love!
Behold His hands and side—
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His wond’ring eye
At mysteries so bright.

And lives that death may die.

Adored and magnified.

Author: Rhea F. Miller (1894-1966)
1. I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
Refrein:
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
I'd rather have Jesus than anything,
This world affords today.
2. I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause;
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I'd rather be true to His holy name.

I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I'd rather be true to His holy name.
3. He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs;
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs;
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

Hymn: The Church’s One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone (1839-1900)
1. The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation

To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.

She is His new creation
By water and the Word:
From heav’n He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.
2. Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3. ‘Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4. Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won;
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion

23. Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing
Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing
Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
1. My life flows on in endless song
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Refrain:
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
2. Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds and echoes in my soul;
How can I keep from singing?
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds and echoes in my soul;
How can I keep from singing?
3. What, though my joys and comfort die,
The Lord, my savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather ‵round?
Songs in the night it giveth.
The Lord, my savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather ‵round?
Songs in the night it giveth.
4. I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it.
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it.
5. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep from singing?
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep from singing?

Looking at the Crucified.

Deigns to call me his beloved,
Lets me rest beneath his wings.

17. Devotional books by C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
Friday, January 16, 2026
16. Devotional books by James Smith (1802-1862)
1. The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
2. The Believer's Daily Remembrancer, Or Pastor's Evening Visit
3. Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household
James Smith (1802-1862) as a young child fell into a well and was remarkably rescued from death. His passion as a preacher of the gospel was to rescue “many poor ungodly sinners from a far deeper well.” He pastored several Particular Baptist congregations, including the New Park Street Chapel (1842-1850), where years later C. H. Spurgeon took the pastorate. His succinct devotional style is fresh and memorable.

To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!

Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water, and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flow‵d,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and thou alone.

Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and thou alone.

Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked come to thee for grace;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Black, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked come to thee for grace;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Black, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!

When mine eye-strings break in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
When mine eye-strings break in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
