- His craft and power are great,
- And armed with cruel hate,
- On earth is not his equal.

- Our striving would be losing,
- Were not the right Man on our side,
- The Man of God's own choosing.

- Tis I deserve thy place;
- Look on me with thy favor,
- vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
- What language shall I borrow
- To thank thee, dearest Friend
- For this Thy dying sorrow,
- Thy pity without end?

- Lord, let me never, never
- Outlive my love to Thee!
- On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand
- My hope is built on nothing less
- Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
- I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
- But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
- When darkness veils His lovely face,
- I rest on His unchanging grace;
- In every high and stormy gale
- My anchor holds within the veil.
- His oath, His covenant, His blood
- Support me in the whelming flood;
- Dressed in His righteousness alone,
- Faultless to stand before the throne
- When He shall come with trumpet sound,
- O may I then in Him be found,
- Dressed in His righteousness alone,
- Faultless to stand before the throne.

- In Thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
- Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
- Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.

- The Love of God
- The love of God is greater far
- than tongue or pen can ever tell,

- His erring child He reconciled
- And pardoned from his sin.
- O love of God, how rich and pure!
- How measureless and strong!
- It shall forever more endure
- the saints and angels' song.
- Could we with ink the ocean fill
- And were the sky of parchment made,
- Were every stalk on earth a quill
- And every man a scribe by trade,
- To write the love of God above
- would drain the ocean dry
- Nor could the scroll contain the whole
- though stretched from sky to sky.

- Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
- His hand the wonders wrought!
- This is my Father's world
- The birds their carols raise;
- The morning light, the lily white,
- Declare their Maker's praise.
- This is my Father's world!
- He shines in all that's fair;
- In the rustling grass I hear him pass
- He speaks to me everywhere.
- This is my Father's world
- O let me never forget
- That though the wrong seems oft so strong
- God is the Ruler yet.
- This is my Father's world!
- The battle is not done;
- Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
- And earth and heaven be one.

- The vilest offender who truly believes,
- That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
- Great things He hath taught us,
- great things He hath done,
- And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
- But purer and higher and greater will be
- Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

- O soul, are you weary and troubled?
- No light in darkness you see
- There's light for a look at the Savior,
- And life more abundant and free!
- Chorus:
- Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
- Look Full in His wonderful face,
- And the thins of earth will grow strangely dim
- In the light of His glory and grace.
- Through death into life everlasting
- He passed, and we follow Him there;
- Over us sin no more hath dominion--
- For more than conquerors we are!
- His word shall not fail you-- He promised;
- Believe Him, and all will be well:
- Then go to a world that is dying,
- His perfect salvation to tell!
- Trust and Obey
- 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.
- Not a shadow can rise, Not a cloud in the skies,
- But His smile quickly drives it away;

- But our toil He doth richly repay;
- Not a grief nor a loss, Not a frown nor a cross,
- But is blest if we trust and obey.
- But we never can prove The delights of His love
- Until all on our altar we lay;
- For the favor He shows and the joy He bestows
- Are for them who will trust and obey.
- 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.
- Chorus:
- Trust and Obey

- To be happy in Jesus But to trust and obey.
- We Sing the Greatness of our God
- We Sing the Greatness of our God
- That made the mountains rise.
- That spread the flowing seas abroad
- And built the lofty skies.
- We sing the wisdom that ordained
- The sun to rule the day;
- The moon shines full at His command,
- And all the stars obey.
- We sing the goodness of the Lord
- That filled the earth with food;
- He formed the creatures with His word
- And then pronounced them good.
- Lord how Thy wonders are displayed
- Where'er we turn our eyes;
- In every season of the year,
- And through the changing skies.
- There's not a plant or flower below
- But makes Thy glories known;
- And clouds arise and tempests blow
- By order from Thy throne.
- While all that borrows life from Thee
- Is ever in Thy care,
- And everywhere that man can be,
- Thou, God, art present there.

- Is there trouble anywhere?
- We should never be discouraged
- Take it to the Lord in prayer.
- Can we find a friend so faithful
- Who will all our sorrows share?

- Take it to the Lord in prayer.
- Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
- Take it to the Lord in prayer;
- In His arms He'll take and shield thee
- Thou wilt find a solace there.
- When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
- When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
- On which the Prince of Glory died,
- My richest gain I count but loss,
- And pour contempt on all my pride.
- Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
- Save in the death of Christ my God;
- All the vain things that charm me most,
- I sacrifice them to His blood.
- Were the whole realm of nature mine,
- That were a present far too small;
- Love so amazing, so divine,
- Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- When Morning Guilds the Skies
- When Morning Guilds the Skies
- My Heart awaking cries,
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
- Alike at work and prayer
- To Jesus I repair,
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
- Does sadness fill your mind?
- A solace here I find,
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
- Or fades my earthly bliss?
- My comfort still is this,
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
- Be this, while life is mine,
- My canticle divine,
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
- Be this the eternal song
- through all the ages long
- May Jesus Christ be praised!
