I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; look unto me, your morn shall rise; and all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I'll walk till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Amen. Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)

Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Struggle and Guidance; Conflict; Courage; Peace Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, render to Almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent His equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod. No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. 5 Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry: Trust in the mighty Savior’s name, And you shall never die.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Sin and hell, in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me,-- Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still art Thou my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!
