Christ in his Word draws near
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #261 (1961) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Christ in his Word draws near;
Hush, moaning voice of fear,
He bids thee cease;
With songs sincere and sweet
Let us arise, and meet
Him who comes forth to greet
Our souls with peace.
2 Rising above thy care,
Meet him as in the air,
O weary heart;
Put on joy's sacred dress;
Lo, as he comes to bless,
Quite from thy weariness
Set free thou art.
3 For works of love and praise
He brings thee summer days,
Warm days and bright;
Winter is past and gone,
Now he, salvation's Sun,
Shineth on every one
With mercy's light.
4 From the bright sky above,
Clad in his robes of love,
'Tis he, our Lord!
Dim earth itself grows clear,
As his light draweth near:
O let us hush and hear
His holy Word.
Amen. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRBY BEDON

And Thou wilt pity me.

Her burdens to remove:
O make me through Thy sorrows whole,
Refresh me with Thy love.
4 Then, Jesus, glory, honor, praise,
I'll ever sing to Thee:
And Thou at last my soul wilt raise
To endless joys with Thee.

"I will come to you"
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #385 (1890) Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Come, Jesus, Redeemer, abide thou with me Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, Redeemer, abide thou with me;
Come, gladden my spirit that waiteth for thee;
Thy smile every shadow shall chase from my heart,
And soothe every sorrow though keen be the smart.
2 Without thee but weakness, with thee I am strong;
By day thou shalt lead me, by night be my song;
Though dangers surround me, I still every fear,
Since thou, the Most Mighty, my Helper, art near.
3 Thy love, oh, how faithful! so tender, so pure!
Thy promise, faith's anchor, how steadfast and sure!
That love, like sweet sunshine, my cold heart can warm,
That promise make steady my soul in the storm.
4 Breathe, breathe on my spirit, oft ruffled, thy peace:
From restless, vain wishes, bid thou my heart cease;
In thee all its longings henceforward shall end,
Till, glad, to thy presence my soul shall ascend.
5 Oh, then, blessed Jesus, who once for me died,
Made clean in the fountain that gushed from thy side,
I shall see thy full glory, thy face shall behold,
And praise thee with raptures for ever untold! Languages: English Tune Title: MAGILL

"The world's true Light"
Author: William W. How Hymnal: Laudes Domini #408 (1890) Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: O One with God the Father Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The brightness of his glory,
Eternal Light of light;
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before thee,
The world's true Light art thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That thou thyself hast trod;
We long to see the pathway
That leads to thee our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If thou thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of righteousness! Languages: English

Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #455 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 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 life’s little day;
Earth’s 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 tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s 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.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Within His tender care,
And with His flock He folds me,
No want shall find me there.
In pastures green He feeds me,
With plenty I am blest;
By quiet streams He leads me
And makes me safely rest.
2 Whatever ill betides me,
He will restore and bless;
For His Name's sake He guides me
In paths of righteousness.
Thy rod and staff shall cheer me
In death's dark vale and shade,
For Thou wilt then be near me:
I shall not be afraid.
3 My food Thou dost appoint me,
Supplied before my foes;
With oil Thou dost anoint me,
My cup of bliss o'erflows.
Thy goodness Lord, shall guide me,
Thy mercy cheer my way;
A home Thou wilt provide me
Within Thy house for aye.

Dependence on God
Hymnal: The Psalter #161 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: My soul in silence wiats for God Lyrics: 1 My soul in silence waits for God,
My Saviour He has proved;
He only is my rock and tow'r;
I never shall be moved.
2 My enemies my ruin seek,
They plot with fraud and guile;
Deceitful, they pretend to bless,
But inwardly revile.
3 My soul, in silence wait for God;
He is my help approved,
He only is my rock and tow'r,
And I shall not be moved.
4 My honor is secure with God,
My Saviour He is known;
My refuge and my rock of strength
Are found in God alone.
5 On Him, ye people, evermore
Rely with confidence;
Before Him pour ye out your heart,
For God is our defense.
6 For surely men are helpers vain,
The high and the abased;
Yea, lighter than a breath are thy
When in the balance placed.
7 Trust not in harsh oppression's power
Nor in unrighteous gain;
If wealth increase, yet on your gold
Ye set your hearts in vain.
8 For God has spoken o'er and o'er,
And unto me has shown,
That saving power and lasting strength
Belong to Him alone.
9 Yea, loving-kindness evermore
Belongs to Thee, O Lord;
And Thou according to his work
Dost every man reward. Scripture: Psalm 62 Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY

An Invitation to Worship
Hymnal: The Psalter #254 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: O come before the Lord, our King Lyrics: 1 O come before the Lord, our King,
And in His presence let us sing;
Let us in glad and joyful lays
The Rock of our salvation praise;
Before Him come with thankful song
In joyful psalms His praise prolong.
2 Almighty pow'r the Lord maintains,
Exalted over all He reigns;
He holds the valleys in His hand,
He makes the mighty mountains stand;
To Him belong both land and sea,
Creator of the world is He.
3 O come and let us worship now,
Before our maker let us bow;
We are His sheep and He our God,
He feeds our souls in pastures broad;
He safely leads us in the way;
O come and heed His voice today.
4 Take heed and harden not your heart
As did our fathers, nor depart
From God to follow in their ways;
For with complaints instead of praise,
With doubt instead of faith confessed,
They put His mercy to the test.
5 Take heed that ye provoke Him not
As did your fathers, who forgot,
With erring heart, God's holy ways
And grieved Him all their sinful days;
To whom in wrath Jehovah sware,
My promised rest they shall not share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: SALOME

The mountains are His own.

Was formed, and still abides,
Was formed, and still abides.
