1. Take up thy cross and follow Me,
1. More love to Thee, O Christ,
” I heard my Master say:
More love to Thee! I gave my life to ransom thee,
Hear Thou the Prayer I make on bended knee. Surrender your all today.”
This is my earnest plea: More love,
O Christ, to Thee, Wherever He leads I'll go,
Wherever He leads I'll go;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
I'll follow my Christ who loves me so,
Wherever He leads I'll go.
2. Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest; 2. He drew me closer to His side,
Now Thee alone I seek; Give what is best. I sought His will to know,
And in that will I now abide,
This all my prayer shall be: More love,
Wherever He leads I'll go,
O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee! 3. It may be thro' the shadows dim,
Or o'er the stormy sea,
3. Then shall my latest breath I take my cross and follow Him,
Wherever He leadeth me.
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry my heart shall raise. 4. My heart, my life, My all I bring
This still its prayer shall be; More love, To Christ who loves me so;
O Christ, to Thee, He is my Master, Lord, and King,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee! Wherever He leads I'll go.

2. Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, 2. Take my hands and let them move
Naught as an off’ring to Jesus, my King At the impulse of Thy love;

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart;
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3. Take my voice and let me sing
3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine!
Always, only, for my King;
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign, Take my lips and let them be;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride. Filled with Messages from Thee,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified; Filled with messages from Thee.
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.
4. Take my silver and my gold
4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Not a mite would I withhold;
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Take my intellect and use
Thro' endless ages ever to be Every pow'r as Thou shalt choose,
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee, Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.

Charmed by the world's delight;
More of His grace to others show;
Things that are higher, things that are nobler

These have allured my sight.
More of His love who died for me.
I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free.
Jesus, Greatest, Highest, I will come to Thee More, more about Jesus;
2. I am resolved to go to the Saviour, More, more about Jesus;
Leaving my sin and strife. More of His saving fullness see,
He is the true one; He is the just one; More of His love who died for me.
He hath the words of life.
3. I am resolved to follow the Saviour, 2. More about Jesus let me learn,
Faithful and true each day. More of His holy will discern;

He is the Living way. Showing the things of Christ to me.

Leaving the paths of sin.
Holding communion with my Lord;

Making each faithful saying mine.

Come, friends without delay; 4. More about Jesus on His throne,

More of His Kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming Prince of Peace.

2. He has broken every fetter, 2. Take the world, but give me Jesus;
I would be like Jesus; Sweetest comfort of my soul.

KEY F KEY G
1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee, 1. I am Thine, O Lord; I have heard Thy voice,
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me!
And it told Thy love to me.
Still all my song shall be: nearer, my God, to Thee;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.
And be closer drawn to Thee.
2. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down,
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious bleeding side.
3. There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
All that thou sendest me, in mercy giv'n; 2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
Angels to beckon me, nearer, my God, to Thee; By the pow'r of grace divine.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine
4. Then, with my waking tho'ts bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; 3. O the pure delight of a single hour
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee; That before Thy throne I spend,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. When I kneel in prayer and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
5. Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, Moon, and Stars forgot, upward I fly, 4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Still all my song shall be: Nearer, my God, to Thee; Till I cross the narrow sea;
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

You become imitators of us and of
the Lord. 1 Thess. 1:6
KEY G KEY Db
1. I have one deep, supreme desire,
1. I 'm pressing on the upward way,
That I may be like Jesus.
New heights I'm gaining every day; To this I fervently aspire,
Still praying as I onward bound That I may be like Jesus.
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” I want my heart His throne to be,
So that a watching world may see
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
His likeness shining forth in me.
By faith on heaven's table land; I want to be like Jesus.
A higher plane than I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 2. He spent His life in doing good;
I want to be like Jesus
2. My heart has no desire to stay In lowly paths of service trod;
Where doubts arise and fears dismay; I want to be like Jesus
Tho' some may dwell where these abound, He sympathized with hearts distressed;
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. He spoke the words that cheered and blessed;
He welcomed sinners to His breast.
3. I want to live above the world, I want to be like Jesus.
Tho' Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound, 3. A holy, harmless life He led;
I want to be like Jesus.
The song of saints on higher ground.
The Father's will, His drink and bread;
4. I want to scale the utmost height I want to be like Jesus
And catch a gleam of glory bright; And when at last He comes to die,
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found, “Forgive them, Father,” hear Him cry.
For those who taunt and crucify.
“Lord lead me on to higher ground.”
I want to be like Jesus
4. O perfect life of Christ, my Lord!

22. IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where
I am, there shall also my servant be: John 12:26
KEY F KEY Eb
1. Living for Jesus a life that is true, 1. The service of Jesus true pleasure affords,
Striving to please Him in all that I do, In Him there is joy without an alloy;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free, 'Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His Words;
This is the pathway of blessing for me.
It pays to serve Jesus each day.
O Jesus, Lord and Saviour, I give myself to Thee;
For Thou, in thine Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; It pays to serve Jesus, It pays ev'ry day,
I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne, It pays ev'ry step of the way;
My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.
Tho' the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,
2. Living for Jesus who died in my place, You 'll be happy each step of the way.
Bearing on Calv'ry my sin and disgrace,
Such love constrains me to answer His call, 2. It pays to serve Jesus what e'er may betide,
Follow His leading and give Him my all. It pays to be true what e'er you may do;
'Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide;
3. Living for Jesus wherever I am,
Doing each duty in His holy name, It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Willing to suffer affliction or loss,
Deeming each trial a part of my cross. 3. Tho' sometimes the shadows may hang o'er the way,
And sorrows may come to beckon us home,
4. Living for Jesus thro' earth's little while,
Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay;
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile,
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem, It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
21 22
23. STEPPING IN THE LIGHT
To this you were called because Christ suffered
for you, leaving you an example that you
should follow in His steps. 1 Pet. 2:21
24. MORE LIKE THE MASTER
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm
yourselves also with the same attitude. 1 Pet. 4:1
KEY Db KEY Db
1. Trying to walk in the steps of the Saviour, 1. More like the Master I would ever be,
Trying to follow our Saviour and King; More of His meekness, More humility;
Shaping our lives by His blessed example,
More zeal to labour, more courage to be true,
Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.
More consecration for work He bids me do.
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Saviour,
Stepping in the light, Stepping in the light;
Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Saviour,
Led in paths of light. Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine Own
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore
2. Pressing more closely to Him who is leading, Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
When we are tempted to turn from the way;
Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,
Happy, how happy, our praises each day. 2. More like the Master is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry the cross I must bear;
3. Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,
More earnest effort to bring His Kingdom in;
Foot-steps of faithfulness, mercy and love,
Looking to Him for the grace freely promised, More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.
Happy, how happy, our journey above.
3. More like the Master I would live and grow;
4. Trying to walk in the steps of the Saviour,
Upward, still upward we'll follow our Guide; More of His love to others I would show;
When we shall see Him, “the King in His beauty, More self-denial, like His in Galilee,
Happy, how happy, our place at His side. More like the Master I long to ever be
23 24
25. JESU, JESU, FILL US WITH YOUR LOVE
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit. Eph 5:18
26. JESUS, I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN
Let he deny himself, and take up his
cross daily. Luke 9:23
KEY F KEY Ab
1. Jesus, I my cross have taken,
1. Kneels at the feet of his friends,
All to leave, and follow Thee;
Silently washes their feet, Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Master who pours out himself for them. Thou, from hence, my all shalt be:
Perish ev'ry fond desire,
All I’ve sought, and hoped, and known;
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love, Yet how rich is my condition,
Show us how to serve God and Heav'n are still my own!
The neighbours we have from you.
2. Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour, too;
2. Neighbours are rich and poor, Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Neighbours are black and white, Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
Neighbours are near and far away.
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
3. These are the ones we should serve, Show Thy face, and all is bright.
These are the ones we should love.
3. Man may trouble and distress me,
All these are neighbours to us and you. ‘Twill but drive me to thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
4. Loving puts us on our kneels Heav’n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
Serving as though we are slaves While Thy love is left to me;
This is the way we should live with you. O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.

30. LABOURERS TOGETHER WITH GOD
Pray to the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth labourers into his harvest. Matt. 9:38
KEY Eb KEY F
1. You have longed for sweet peace and for faith to increase, 1. We are labourers together with God,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed; We are not in, just labouring for God.
But you cannot have rest or be perfectly blest So we need to look up always to Him,
Who alone has the pattern and master design.
Until all on the altar is laid. That as He directs us exactly as we do;
Moving with Him in every step.
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart, does the Spirit control? I am labouring together with God
You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest I am not the owner of this work.
So must I give the Lord full control
As you yield Him your body and soul. And then, follow on.
2. Would you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, 2. The work has a master design made,
And have peace and contentment always? We must build according to pattern made.
You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill, Already laid is the foundation,
Be careful the way you build on that foundation
On the altar your all you must lay. Through fire all your works done shall be tested:
Will your work abide or it shall be burden?
3. O we never can know what the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed 3. Be careful of the tricks that you play,
Till our body and soul He doth fully control, Thinking you are the owner of this work
Forget not that you are co-labourer;
And our all on the altar is laid. The increase is given by our God, only God.
He gives seed to sowers and bread as food for you;
4. Who can tell all the love He will send from above, He ‘ll increase the harvest of your righteousness.
And how happy our hearts will be made;
Of the fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet 4. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He with tears goes forth bearing precious seed.
When our all on the altar is laid. Shall doubtless return home rejoicing,
Bringing home joyfully his many sheaves with him.
Never watch the wind, do no look at the clouds,
The Lord who called you Faithful is He.

My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou;
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
So I cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down; 2. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
I will cling to the old rugged cross, And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
And exchange it some day for a crown.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, 3. I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
To bear it to dark Calvary. And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
3. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, And say, when the death dew lies cold on my brow;
Such a wonderful beauty I see; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me. 4. In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear; And singing Thy praises, before Thee I'll bow;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
Where His glory forever I'll share.

1. The Master hath come, and He calls us to follow 1. All my life I had a longing
The track of the footprints He leaves on our way; For a drink from some clear spring,
Far over the mountain and thro' the deep hollow, That I hoped would quench the burning
The path leads us on to the mansions of day: Of the thirst I felt within.
The Master hath called us, the children who fear Him,
Who march 'neath Christ's banner, His own little band; Hallelujah! I have found Him
We love Him and seek Him, we long to be near Him, Whom my soul so long has craved!
And rest in the light of His beautiful land. Jesus satisfies my longings,
Thro' His blood I now am saved.
2. The Master hath called us; the road may be dreary,
And dangers and sorrows are strewn on the track; 2. Feeding on the husks around me,
But God's Holy spirit shall comfort the weary; Till my strength was almost gone,
We follow the Saviour and cannot turn back; Longed my soul for something better,
The Master hath called us: tho' doubt and temptation Only still to hunger on.
May compass our journey, we cheerfully sing:
“Press onward, look up-ward,” thro' much tribulation; 3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,
The children of Zion must follow their King. Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
3. The Master hath called us, in life's early morning, Only mocked my soul's sad cry.
With spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod:
We turn from the world, with its smiles and its scorning, 4. Well of water, ever springing,
To cast in our lot with the people of God: Bread of Life so rich and free,
The Master hath called us, His sons and His daughters, Untold wealth that never faileth,
We plead for His blessing and trust in His love; My Redeemer is to me.
And thro' the green pastures, beside the still waters,
He'll lead us at last to His Kingdom above.

Is the love of God flowing thro' you? Were my life worth living for a day?
Are you telling the lost of the Saviour? Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort
In the things that soon must pass away?
Are you ready His service to do?
If I gained the world, but lost the Saviour,
Make me a channel of blessing today; Would my gain be worth the life-long strife?
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray; Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing
My life possessing, my service blessing, For a moment with a Christ-filled life?
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2. Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
2. Is your life a channel of blessing? And a name revered both far and near,
Are you burdened for those who are lost? Yet no hope beyond, no harbour waiting
Have you urged upon those who are straying Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer
The Saviour who died on the cross? If I gained the world, but lost the Saviour,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Could then all the world afford a refuge,
Is it daily telling for Him?
Whither in my anguish I might flee?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin? 3. O what emptiness without the Saviour
4. We cannot be channels of blessing Mid the sins and sorrows here below!
If our lives are not free from known sin; And eternity, how dark without Him
Only night and tears and endless woe!
We will barriers be and a hindrance
What though I might live without the Saviour,
To those we are trying to win.
When I come to die, how would it be?
O to face the valley's gloom without Him!

Why should He love me so?
He suffered sore my salvation to win 3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Why should He love me so? Support me in the whelming flood,
When all around my soul gives way,

Why should He love me so?
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Nothing withholding my sin to efface- Oh, may I then in Him be found,

Faultless to stand before the throne!

Give me something worth living for.” And Calvary covers it all.
Calvary covers it all,
Something more than my yesterdays, My past with its sin and stain;
More than I had before, My guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there,
Something more than wealth or fame- And Calvary covers it all.
He gave me something worth living for. 2. The stripes that He bore and the thorns that He wore
Told His mercy and love evermore;
2. There, with life at its lowest ebb, And my heart bowed in shame as I called on His name,
Who could heal and restore? And Calvary covers it all.
Then He came and mended my broken heart- 3. How matchless the grace, when I looked in the face
He gave me something worth living for. Of this Jesus, my crucified Lord;
My redemption complete I then found at His feet,
3. O the joy of sins forgiven- And Calvary covers it all.
Nothing's the same as before; 4. How blessed the thought, that my soul by Him bought,
My life overflows since Jesus came Shall be His in the glory on high,
And gave me something worth living for. Where with gladness and song I'll be one of the
throng,

And the burden of my heart rolled away, Turn away from sin and sadness,
It was there by faith I received my sight, Be transformed with life anew.
And now I am happy all the day!

And love beyond degree! To proclaim His wondrous love.

Tithes and offerings with you bring.
And shut his glories in,
In your work, with Him find favour,
When Christ the mighty Maker died
And with joy His praises sing.
For man, the creature's sin.

While Calv'ry's cross appears, Is required of everyone.
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, Showing mercy to each other
And melt mine eyes to tears. Mirrors His redeeming Son.

The debt of love I owe; Of His love that is divine;
Here, Lord, I give myself away, On the cross sins were forgiven;
'Tis all that I can do. Joy and peace are fully thine.

Whereby Thy grace to claim And deathless it shall reign.

My lips shall still repeat. When on Thy bosom it has leant

Cleansed from dross and free from self and sin.

So that men might live again in the Image of God! Gracious are the words from Him we hear:
Words of life and hope for sinners,

O the power and the value
Now that I from the cry of my guilt am relieved,
Of a fitly spoken word!
I will live for my Lord, Not for gain or reward, O I want to talk like Jesus
But for love thinking of what His grace has restored! Any time or place my voice is heard.
I'll never comprehend redemption's plan 3. O I want to serve like Jesus,
How Christ could condescend to die for man; Willingly He came from heaven above;
Such a Saviour I'll praise to the end of my days, On the earth He lived for others,
Spent His life in kindly deeds of love.
As I up-ward, on-ward trod in the Image of God!
I would follow where He leads me
And His biding always do;
O I want to serve like Jesus
Till my traveling days on earth are through.

Increase my love, A clean vessel in Thy hand;

All selfish motivation. Graciously with each command.

The world's emancipation: Thou has bought me to possess me,
In Thy fullness, Lord, come in
To let Your light invade the dark
In every situation, 5. Jesus, fill now with Thy spirit,
Hearts that full surrender know;
To prove You in a thousand ways,
That the streams of living water
To serve You well with zeal ablaze From our inner man may flow.
Through life's unknown duration.

112. THAT I MAY KNOW HIM
I want to know Christ and the power of His
resurrection Philippians 3:10
Ready to shed my blood than to sin;
To be clear minded on my goal
THAT I MAY KNOW HIM
KEY C
Nothing but Jesus, all I want.
1. That I may know more about Jesus,
His life His death and resurrection: 4. By His Nature, He is truly God,
In fellowship to experience Him more, Yet as a Branch He choose to be;
Who is a man, and not a ghost. Depending on God in everything,
Father show me more of Jesus, Doing only the will of God.
Holy Spirit reveal Him to me. Impart this secret Lord to me,
To His fullness that I may grow. That in thy will my own to be lost;
To follow in His steps always. Help me a branch always to be,
Never to live independent life.
That I may know Him!
Father show me more of Jesus, 5. Tho' in very Nature He is God,
Holy Spirit reveal Him to me. He surrendered His rights as God
My cry, my prayer, my aim is one: In obedience He became servant
That I may know Him And as a man, died on the cross…
Who is God's only pattern for me. What unequalled humility
What a lowliness of the hearts!
2. Jesus Christ the only Son of God, Help me to drop my rights, O Lord
Yet grew like a root out of dry ground. So that Jesus be formed in me.
He was perfected by God through suffering.
Leaving for us example to walk. 6. Oh, that I may know more of Jesus!
When insulted retaliated not: His prayer life, love and compassion.
When He suffered He made no threat. His resurrection power I long to know,
Why then should I complain of pains To break all wrong yokes off my life.
Meant to perfect my ways in Him. Guide me Lord in your steps to walk,
Doing nothing after the flesh.
3. Jesus Christ the only pattern Son. Transform me till I'm wholly thine
Tempted in all ways but did no sin. That Jesus be my all in all.
Hated sin, but loved righteousness!
Therefore God exalted Him high. Text: Peace House Singing Team, Gboko

If I've judged others inwardly
LORD GIVE ME LIGHT
4. Is there some good I should have done? 1. Who is on the Lord's side, who will stand for Him
Is there some soul I should have won? Who is doing His will, standing up for Jesus
Have I hurt someone thoughtlessly? He who denies himself, and forsakes his own life
Lord give me light that I might see. Needing more of Jesus, He is on the Lord's side

O use me LORD, use even me, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show
Just as Thou wilt and when and where

KEY C
There Jesus spoke sweetly, to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. Thy throne, O God, Is for ever and ever:
The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
4. How rich is the blessing the world cannot give. Thou lovest righteousness,
I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live, And hatest wickedness:
Tho: friends may forsake me and trials arise, Therefore God, thy God, Hath anointed thee
I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Learn of Je-sus Christ to die. The Light of the world is Je-sus

Where they laid His breath-less clay; 4. No need of the sun-light in heav-en we're told,
All is sol-i-tude and gloom; The Light of the world is Jesus;
Who hath tak-en Him a-way? The Lamb is the Light in the cit-y of gold,

We...have come to worship Him. Matt. 2:2
KEY C KEY Ab
1. God, who touch-est earth with beau-ty, 1. As with glad-ness men of old
Make me love-ly too; Did the guid-ing star be-hold;
With thy Spir-it re-cre-ate me, As with joy they hailed its light,
Make my heart a-new. Lead-ing on-ward, beam-ing bright;
So most gra-cious Lord, may we
2. Like thy springs and run-ning wa-ters, Ev-er-more be led to Thee.
Make me crys-tal pure;
Like Thy rocks of tower-ing gran-deur, 2. As with joy-ous steps they sped
Make me strong and sure. To that low-ly man-ger bed,
There to bend the knee be-fore
3. Like Thy shin-ing waves in sun-light, Him whom heav’n and earth a-dore;
Make me glad and free; So may we with will-ing feet
Like the straightness of the pine trees, Ev-er seek Thy mer-cy seat.
Let me up-right be.
3. As they of-fered gifts most rare
At that man-ger rude and bare,
4. Like the arch-ing of the heav-ens,
So may we with ho-ly joy,
Lift my thoughts a-bove;
Pure and free from sin's al-loy,
Turn my dreams to no-ble ac-tion,
Min-is-tries of love. All our cost-liest treas-ures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heaven-ly King.
5. God, who touch-est earth with beau-ty, 4. Ho-ly Je-sus, ev-ery day
Make me love-ly too; Keep us in the nar-row way;
Keep me ev-er, by Thy Spir-it, And when earth-ly things are past,
Pure and strong and true. Amen. Bring our ran-somed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glo-ry hide.

For God so loved the World… John 3:16

1. What can I give to Je-sus, 1. How deep the Father's love for us
Who gave Him-self for me? How vast beyond all measure,
How can I show my love for Him, That He should give His only Son
Who died on cal-va-ry? To make a wretch His treasure
I'll give my life to Je-sus, How great the pain of searing loss-
And calm-ly, glad-ly rest The Father turns His face away
Each fu-ture hope and fond de-sire As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Up-on His lov-ing breast. Bring many sons to glory.
2. I'll give my voice to Je-sus, 2. Behold the man upon a cross
And seek through all my days My sin upon His shoulders
My ev-'ry tal-ent con-se-crate Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
To sing His joy-ous praise. Call out among the scoffers
I'll give my strength to Je-sus, It was my sin that held Him there
Of head, of heart, and will; Until it was accomplished
Go where He sends and ev-er strive His dying breath has brought me life
His pur-pose to ful-fil. I know that it is finished.
3. I'll give my wealth to Je-sus,
Tho' lit-tle I pos-sess; 3. I will not boast in anything
Take what I am and what I have, No gifts, no power, no wisdom
Dear Lord, ac-cept and bless. But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
What can I give to Je-sus, His death and resurrection,
Who gave Him-self for me? Why should I gain from His reward?
I'll give my all to Je-sus, I cannot give an answer
Who died on Cal-va-ry. But this I know with all my heart-
His wounds have paid my ransom.

It satisfies my longing as nothing else can do.

Luke 14:28
KEY G KEY G
1. I heard an old, old story 1. There's a line that is drawn by rejecting our Lord
How Saviour came from glory,
Where the call of His spirit is lost,
How He gave His life on Calvary,
To save a wretch like me; And you hurry along
I heard about His groaning; With the pleasure mad throng-
Of His precious blood's atoning, Have you counted, have you counted the cost?
Then I repented of my sins, And won the victory.
O victory, in Jesus, My Saviour, forever, Have you counted the cost, if your soul should be lost?
He sought me, and bought me, With His redeeming blood; Tho' you gain the whole world for your own?
He loved me ere I knew Him, And all my love is due him,
He plunged me to victory, Beneath the cleansing flood. Even now it may be
that the line you have crossed,
2. I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing, Have you counted, have you counted the cost?
How he made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see; 2 You may barter your hope of eternity's morn,
And then cried. “Dear Jesus, For a moment of joy at the most,
Come and heal my broken spirit”,
And somehow Jesus came and bro't, To me the victory. For the glitter of sin
And the things it will win-
3. I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory, Have you counted, have you counted the cost?
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea; 3 While the door of His mercy is open to you,
About the angels singing Ere the depth of His love you exhaust,
And the old redemption story;
And some sweet day I'll sing up there, The song of victory. Won't you come and be healed,
Won't you whisper, I yield-
I have counted, I have counted the cost.

Temptations receive their defeat, Nothing can challenge Thy authority
When ‘m always close, abiding with Thee. To Thee bow principalities and powers
5. O, what peace, to be close to Thee, To Thy Lordship, Jesus, I fully bow.
No more confusion, my worry is gone
Faith and boldness in Thee is sure,
And vision is clear when I stay with Thee. 4. Thou art Lord indeed, I worship Thee
6. Lord, ever keep me close to Thee, Live Thy life within and control me
Never let me stay from thy loving grip; That through me Thy Lordship on earth be known
Am fully released to Thy Arm For the nations to bow to Thee as Lord.
Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.

Simply to walk in newness of life

I'll love Him, I'll serve Him with all that I have Dying but living Jesus within
As long as my life shall endure.
Ruling and reigning day after day

And they gladden my heart at the noon;
They follow me on into shades of the night, 2. Risen with Christ my glorious Head
When the day with its labour is done. Holiness now in the pathway I tread
Beautiful thought while walking there in
3. His angels of mercy encompass me 'round,
He that is dead is free from all sin.
Wheresoever my pathway may lead;
Each turn of the road some new token reveals
Oh! For me life is blessed indeed. 3. Living with Christ who di-eth no more,
Following Christ who goeth before
4. His goodness and mercy will follow me still, Not under law I'm now under grace
Even unto the end of the way. Sin is de-throned and Christ takes its place.
I have His sure promise and that cannot fail,
That His mercy endureth for aye

Do Thou, O LORD, keep watch within,
And save my soul from wrong

Light and love upon my way, And feel that I am frail:
From the cross the radiance streaming That if the Tempter cross my way,
Adds new luster to the day. Yet he may not prevail.
