SCRIPTURES

  • 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

    2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

    3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

  • God’s Everlasting Love

    31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

    33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

    37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  • The Mystery of Godliness

    14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.

  • 14  But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;
    my Lord has forgotten me.”

    15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
    Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.

    16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands

SONGS

  • A mighty Fortress is our God
    A Bulwark never failing
    Our Helper He amid the flood
    Of mortal ills prevailingFor still our ancient foe
    Doth seek to work us woe
    His craft and power are great
    And armed with cruel and hate
    On earth is not his equal

    Did we in our own strength confide
    Our striving would be losing
    We're not the right Man on our side
    The Man of God's own choosing
    Dost ask who that may be?
    Christ Jesus, it is He
    Lord Sabaoth His Name
    From age to age, the same
    And He must win the battle

    That word above all earthly powers
    No, thanks to them, abideth
    The Spirit and the gifts are ours
    Through Him who with us sideth
    Let goods and kindred go
    This mortal life also
    The body they may kill
    God's truth abideth still
    His Kingdom is forever

  • Before the throne of God above
    I have a strong and perfect plea
    A great High Priest whose name is love
    Who ever lives and pleads for me
    My name is graven on His hands
    My name is written on His heart
    I know that while in heav'n He stands
    No tongue can bid me thence depart
    No tongue can bid me thence depart

    When Satan tempts me to despair
    And tells me of the guilt within
    Upward I look and see Him there
    Who made an end to all my sin
    Because the sinless Savior died
    My sinful soul is counted free
    For God the Just is satisfied
    To look on Him and pardon me
    To look on Him and pardon me

    Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
    My perfect, spotless Righteousness
    The great unchangeable I Am
    The King of glory and of grace
    One with Himself, I cannot die
    My soul is purchased by His blood
    My life is hid with Christ on high
    With Christ my Savior and my God

    One with Himself, I cannot die
    My soul is purchased by His blood
    My life is hid with Christ on high
    With Christ my Savior and my God
    With Christ my Savior and my God
    With Christ my Savior and my God

  • Rejoice, the Lord is King:
    Your Lord and King adore!
    Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
    And triumph evermore.
    Lift up your heart,
    Lift up your voice!
    Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

    Jesus, the Savior, reigns,
    The God of truth and love;
    When He has purged our stains,
    He took his seat above;
    Lift up your heart,
    Lift up your voice!
    Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

    His kingdom cannot fail,
    He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
    The keys of death and hell
    Are to our Jesus giv'n:
    Lift up your heart,
    Lift up your voice!
    Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

    Rejoice in glorious hope!
    Our Lord and judge shall come
    And take His servants up
    To their eternal home:
    Lift up your heart,
    Lift up your voice!
    Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

  • Holy, holy, holy!
    Lord God Almighty
    Early in the morning
    Our song shall rise to Thee
    Holy, holy, holy!
    Merciful and mighty
    God in three persons
    Blessed Trinity!

    Holy, holy, holy!
    Though the darkness hide Thee
    Though the eye of sinful man
    Thy glory may not see
    Only Thou art holy
    There is none beside Thee
    Perfect in power, in love and purity

    Holy, holy, holy!
    Lord God Almighty
    All Thy works shall praise Thy name
    In earth and sky and sea
    Holy, holy, holy!
    Merciful and mighty
    God in three persons
    Blessed Trinity

    Oh God in three persons
    Blessed Trinity!

  • 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, oh, abide with me

    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

    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

    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

    Abide with me
    Abide with me

  • There is a fountain filled with blood
    Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
    And sinners plunged beneath that flood
    Lose all their guilty stains.
    Lose all their guilty stains,
    Lose all their guilty stains;
    And sinners plunged beneath that flood
    Lose all their guilty stains.

    The dying thief rejoiced to see
    That fountain in his day;
    And there have I, though vile as he,
    Washed all my sins away.
    Washed all my sins away,
    Washed all my sins away;
    And there have I, though vile as he,
    Washed all my sins away.

    E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
    Thy flowing wounds supply,
    Redeeming love has been my theme,
    And shall be till I die.
    And shall be till I die,
    And shall be till I die;
    Redeeming love has been my theme,
    And shall be till I die.

  • Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow
    Praise Him, all creatures here below
    Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host
    Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

    Amen
