1. More love to thee, O Christ, more love to thee! Hear thou the prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea: REFRAIN: More love, O Christ, to thee; more love to thee, more love to thee!  2. Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest; now thee alone I seek, give what is best. This all my prayer shall be: (Refrain) 3. Let sorrow do its work, come grief and pain; sweet are thy messengers, sweet their refrain, when they can sing with me:(Refrain) 4. Then shall my latest breath whisper thy praise; this be the parting cry my heart shall raise; this still its prayer shall be: (Refrain)

1. The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 

2. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth; her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 

3. Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 

4. Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till, with the vision glorious, 
her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 

5. Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.

1 In the morning when I rise (x3)
give me Jesus.

Refrain:
Give me Jesus (x2)
you may have all this world, give me Jesus.

2 I heard my mother say (x3)
give me Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Dark midnight was my cry (x3)
give me Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Oh, when I come to die (x3),
give me Jesus. [Refrain]

Precious Lord, Take My Hand (Parts)

1 Precious Lord, take my hand. Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
2 When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near, when my life is almost gone, hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall: take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
3 When the darkness appears and the night draws near, and the day is past and gone, at the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand: take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;  he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; he hath loosed the fateful lightning  of his terrible swift sword; his truth is marching on.  Refrain: Glory, glory, hallelujah!  (X3). His truth is marching on.  2. I have seen him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps, they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;  I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; his day is marching on.  (Refrain)  3. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; he is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. (Refrain)  4. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in his bosom  that transfigures you and me; as he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,  while God is marching on. (Refrain)  5. He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave, he is wisdom to the mighty, he is honor to the brave; so the world shall be his footstool, and the soul of wrong his slave.  Our God is marching on. (Refrain)

1 O God of life, your healing touch brings wholeness and salvation!
In you, this world you love so much becomes a new creation.

3 O Christ, the loving healer still, you gather us for mission
To serve your people who are ill, whatever their condition.

6 And when their ways are not our own, Lord, give us understanding: Our faith cannot be fully grown when we are too unbending.

O God of Life, Your Healing Touch. (“The King of Love My Shepherd Is”)

1. The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never. I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever.
2. Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth; and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth.!
3. Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me; and on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4. In death’s dark vale I fear no ill, with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me.
5. Thou spreadst a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth; and oh, what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth!
6. And so through all the length of days, thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house forever.

1 Time is filled with swift transition; naught of earth unmoved can stand. Build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
[Chorus]
Hold to His hand, God’s unchanging hand (x2)
Build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
2 Trust in Him who will not leave you; whatsoever years may bring. If by earthly friends forsaken still more closely to Him cling.
[Chorus]
3 Covet not this world’s vain riches that so rapidly decay. Seek to gain the heavenly treasures that will never pass away
[Chorus]
4 When your journey is completed, if to God you have been true. Fair and bright the home in glory your enraptured soul will view [Chorus]

Lyrics:

1. Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! 

Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt. 

Refrain:
Grace, grace, God’s grace, grace that will pardon and cleanse within; grace, grace, God’s grace, grace that is greater than all our sin! 

2. Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, threaten the soul with infinite loss; grace that is greater, yes, grace untold, points to the refuge, the mighty cross. (Refrain) 

3. Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look! There is flowing a crimson tide, brighter than snow you may be today. (Refrain) 

4. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see his face, will you this moment his grace receive? (Refrain)

Lyrics 1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;  while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.  Refrain: Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others thou art calling,  do not pass me by.  2. Let me at thy throne of mercy find a sweet relief,  kneeling there in deep contrition; help my unbelief. (Refrain)  3. Trusting only in thy merit, would I seek thy face;  heal my wounded, broken spirit, save me by thy grace. (Refrain)  4. Thou the spring of all my comfort, more than life to me,  whom have I on earth beside thee? Whom in heaven but thee? (Refrain)
