9. Hymn: Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Hymn: Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855)

1. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
’Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
’Tis the long expected prophet,
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
By His Son God now has spoken:
’Tis the true and faithful Word.

2. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through fear His cause disowning,
Foes insulting His distress:
Many hands were raised to wound Him,
None would interpose to save;
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
Was the stroke that Justice gave.

3. Ye who think of sin but lightly,
Nor suppose the evil great,
Here may view its nature rightly,
Here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the Sacrifice appointed!
See Who bears the awful load!
’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed,
Son of Man, and Son of God.

4. Here we have a firm foundation,
Here the refuge of the lost.
Christ the Rock of our salvation,
His the Name of which we boast.
Lamb of God for sinners wounded!
Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him their hope have built.

7. Hymn: Grace! ‵Tis a Charming Sound

Hymn: Grace! ‵Tis a Charming Sound

Author: Philip Doddridge (1702-1751)

1. Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

Refrein:

All sufficient grace!

Never powerless!

It is Christ who lives in me,

In His exhaustlessness.

2. ’Twas grace that wrote my name
In life’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

3. Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the pilgrim road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.

4. Grace taught my heart to pray,
And made my eyes o’erflow;
’Tis grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.

5. Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in love the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

6. Oh, let that grace inspire
My heart with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

5. Hymn: Many Crowd the Saviour‵s Kingdom

Hymn: Many Crowd the Saviour‵s Kingdom

Author: Thomas A. Kempis (1380-1471)

1. Many crowd the Savior‵s Kingdom,
Few receive His cross;
Many seek His consolation,
Few will suffer loss.
For the dear sake of the Master,
Counting all but dross,
For the dear sake of the Master,
Counting all but dross.

2. Many long to share His glory,
Few will bear His shame;
Many long to share His power,
Few will suffer loss.
Almost none would for His Kingdom
Count their all as dross.
Almost none would for His Kingdom
Count their all as dross.

3. Many sit at Jesus‵ table,
Few will fast with Him,
When the sorrow-cup of anguish
Trembles to the brim.
Few watch with Him in the garden,
Who have sung the hymn,
Few watch with Him in the garden,
Who have sung the hymn.

4. Many will confess His wisdom,
Few embrace His shame.
Many, should He smile upon them,
Will His praise proclaim;
Then, if for a while He leave them,
They desert His name,
Then, if for a while He leave them,
They desert His name.

5. But the souls who love Him truly,
Let woe come or bliss,
These will count their dearest hearts‵ blood
Not their own, but His.
Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
Give me love like this,
Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
Give me love like this.

I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back.

2. The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me,
No turning back, no turning back.

3. Though none go with me, I still will follow,
Though none go with me, I still will follow,
Though none go with me, I still will follow,
No turning back, no turning back.

4. Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.

1. Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River

Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River

Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)

1. Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain:

Yes, we‵ll gather at the river,

The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God.

2. On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

3. Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev‵ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

4. Soon we‵ll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

More love to Thee;
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

2. Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek,
Give what is best;
This all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

3. Let sorrow do its work,
Send grief and pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

4. Then shall my latest breath,
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

We are filled with Thy love,

And each heart is rekindled

With fire from above.

1. Hymn: Olives That Have Known No Pressure

Hymn: Olives That Have Known No Pressure

Author: Watchman Nee (1903-1972)

1. Olives that have known no pressure
Never can oil bestow;
If the grapes escape the winepress,
Cheering wine can never flow;
Spikenard only through the crushing,
Its fragrance can diffuse.
Shall I then, shrink from the suff’ring
That Thy love would so induce?

Refrein:

Each blow I suffer

Is true gain to me.

In the place of what Thou takest

Thou dost give Thyself to me.

2. Do my heart-strings need Thy stretching,
Music divine to prove?
Must the sweetest music come from
The harsh treatment of Thy love?
Lord, I fear no deprivation
If I be drawn to Thee;
I would yield in full surrender
All Thy heart of love to see.

3. I’m ashamed, my Lord, for seeking
Myself to guard alway;
Though Thy love had done its stripping,
Yet I felt compelled Thy way.
Lord, according to Thy pleasure
Complete Thy work in me;
Heeding not my human feelings,
Only do what pleases Thee.

4. If Thy mind and mine should differ,
Pursue, O Lord, Thy way;
If Thy pleasure means my sorrow,
Still my heart shall answer, “Yea!”
’Tis my deep desire to please Thee,
Though I might suffer loss;
E’en though Thy delight and glory
Mean that I endure the cross.

5. Oh, I’ll praise Thee, e’en if weeping
Be mingled with my song.
Thine increasing sweetness calls forth
Grateful praises all day long.
Thou hast made Thyself more precious
Than everything to me:
Thou increase and I decrease, Lord-
This is now my only plea.

8. Hymn: Be Thou My Vision

Hymn: Be Thou My Vision

Translator: Mary E. Byrne (1880-1931)

1. Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art—
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

2. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

3. Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
Be Thou my armor, be Thou my true might.
Be Thou my soul‵s shelter, be Thou my strong tower;
Raise Thou me heavenward, great power of my power.

4. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

5. High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

6. Hymn: Sweet Hour of Prayer

Hymn: Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: William W. Walford (1772-1850)

1. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father‵s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known!
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter‵s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

2. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since he bids me seek His face,
Believe His word, and trust His grace,
I‵ll cast on Him my ev‵ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

3. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah‵s lofty height
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I‵ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

In His presence daily live.

I surrender all, I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

2. Hymn: Trust and Obey

Hymn: Trust and Obey

Author: John H. Sammis (1846-1919)

1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

9. Hymn: This World is Not My Home

Hymn: This World is Not My Home

Author: Albert E. Brumley (1905-1977)

1. This world is not my home, I‵m just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
The angels beckon me from heaven‵s open door,
And I can‵t feel at home in this world anymore.

Refrein:

O Lord, you know I have no friend like you,

If heaven‵s not my home, then Lord what will I do?

The angels beckon me from heaven‵s open door,

And I can‵t feel at home in this world anymore.

2. They‵re all expecting me, and that‵s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He‵ll take me thro‵ tho‵ I am weak and poor,
And I can‵t feel at home in this world anymore.

3. I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don‵t expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He‵s waiting now for me in heaven‵s open door,
And I can‵t feel at home in this world anymore.

4. Just up in glory-land we‵ll live eternally,
The saints on every hand are shouting victory,
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven‵s shore,
And I can‵t feel at home in this world anymore.

7. Hymn: I Know Whom I Have Believed

Hymn: I Know Whom I Have Believed

Author: Daniel W. Whittle (1840-1901)

1. I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

Refrain:
But “I know Whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.”

2. I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.

3. I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.

4. I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.

5. Hymn: Abide With Me

Hymn: Abide With Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

2. Swift to its close ebbs out lifes little day;
Earths joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

3. I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempters power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is deaths sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

5. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heavens morning breaks, and earths vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

3. Hymn: Satisfied

Hymn: Satisfied
Author: Clara T. Williams (1858-1937)

1. All my life I had a longing
For a drink from some clear spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

Refrain:

Hallelujah! I have found Him

Whom my soul so long has craved!

Jesus satisfies my longings,

Through His blood I now am saved.

2. Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.

3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.

4. Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

Dear as the apple of Thine eye,

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.

5. Hymn: Crown Him With Many Crowns

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!
Awake, my soul and sing
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.

3. Crown Him the Lord of life!
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
Who rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.

4. Crown Him the Lord of heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit through Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne,
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified.

Hymn: I'd Rather Have Jesus

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.

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.

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.

1. Hymn: The Church’s One Foundation

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
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.

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.

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.
