Hymn: Grace! ‵Tis a Charming Sound

Author: Philip Doddridge (1702-1751)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

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)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

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.

The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God.

    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.

1. Hymn: Olives That Have Known No Pressure

Hymn: Olives That Have Known No Pressure

Author: Watchman Nee (1903-1972)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

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.

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.

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!"
