2 Corinthians 4:6

oly:


The Savior’s Face

How sweet, O Lord, Thy word of grace
Which bids a sinner seek Thy face,
And never seek in vain;
That face, once set so steadfastly
To meet Thy cross of agony,
Can never me disdain.

Thy visage, marred and crowned with thorn,
Thou didst not hide from grief and scorn,
Nor from the dew of night;
Yet, in that face a love appears
Which scatters all my gloomy fears,
And fills my soul with light.

The heavens declare Thy power and love;
In all Thy works, below, above,
Thy majesty I trace,
But mercy shines not in the skies,
And hope within my spirit dies,
Until I see Thy face.

The brightness of Thy glory, Lord,
Fills Heaven and earth and written Word
With beams of heavenly grace;
But all the hosts of Heaven shine
With no such radiance divine
As Thy most blessed face.


oly:


For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
1 Corinthians 13:12

Face to Face With Christ My Savior

Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
Face to face — what will it be,
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me?
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

Sunday Morning Praise

I With Thee Would Begin

I with Thee would begin, O my Savior so dear,
On the way that I still must pursue;
I with Thee would begin every day granted here,
As my earnest resolve I renew
To be and remain Thine forever.

I with Thee would begin and go forth in Thy name,
Which alone doth salvation bestow;
Fold me close to Thy breast where found joy all who came,
There is refuge for me, too, I know,
Though all in this world is confusion.

Let Thy Word all divine be my lamp in whose light
I may constantly keep to Thy way;
And each day wouldst Thou cleanse me anew, make me white
In the blood shed for me on that day
The cross Thou didst suffer, Lord Jesus.

I with Thee would begin — yea, and hear one more prayer,
I would close with Thee, too, my brief day,
And when daylight has failed, let me sleep in Thy care,
Until waking Thy child Thou dost say,
“Come, live with Me ever in Heaven.”


oly:


Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Be Not Anxious

I cannot change the yesterday when I mistrusted Thee,
Though all my fears unfounded proved, and shame me now as then;
I cannot promise that my faith will last throughout the night,
Or that, when Thy tomorrow comes, I will not doubt again.
But grant, O faithful Lord and true, that I may trust Thee now,
Just now, each moment of each hour of this Thy present day;
That, looking backward, I may read the record of the past,
And, forward, see Thy steadfast word light all the future way.

Lest aught of sin our bodies stain.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high,
Who with the Holy Ghost and Thee
Doth live and reign eternally.

Thy pardon be the pillow for my head —
So shall my rest be sweet.

Evil shall pass with the day that brought it,

Outlasts the darkness, outruns the morn,
Out watches the stars in their nightly vigil;
And the foe that returns with the day reborn,
As he left it unwearied, shall find it unworn.

To that dim, vast unknown,
Though late I stay, or soon I go,
I shall not go alone.

Step by Step

When the shadows thickly gather,
Clouding all thy onward way,
Think not what shall be tomorrow;
Seek God’s help just for today.

Should the coming days bring burdens,
Or be fraught with grief or care,
Trust Him in the hour of trial,
He will make thee strong to bear.

Daily strength He ever giveth,
For each day rich grace bestows;
And each morrow, as it dawneth,
Still His lovingkindness shows.

Then why should we shrink or falter
When the onward path looks dim,
Knowing light will never fail us
While we walk by faith with Him?

Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals;
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.

Lord, I will follow You.

Thou didst shed Thy blood for me;
And though all men should forsake me,
By Thy grace I’ll follow Thee.

A peace it cannot take away;

When peace sweetly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day,
Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!

This treasure I have in a temple of clay,
While here on His footstool I roam;
But He’s coming to take me some glorious day,
Over there to my heavenly home!

Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;

“I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine.

Let someone else speak forth the word to save a soul from sin;
That someone else, when Jesus comes, a crown of life will win.
Oh, someone else is doing the work that you for God should do;
And someone else will be wearing the crown that God had meant for you.

Let someone else go forth, you say, to lands beyond the seas;
While you remain at home and take your comfort and your ease.
Oh, someone else is doing the work that you for God should do;
And someone else will be wearing the crown that God had meant for you.

Oh, never let your lips again those thoughtless words repeat;
But pray that grace to you be giv’n to serve at Jesus’ feet.
Then no one else will do the work that you for God should do;
And no one else will be wearing the crown that God has kept for you.

Nothing But Leaves!

Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves o’er years of wasted life;
O’er sins indulged while conscience slept, o’er vows and promises unkept,
And reap, from years of strife — Nothing but leaves!

Ah, who shall, at the Savior’s feet, before the awful judgment seat,
Lay down, for golden sheaves, nothing but leaves!

To those who are struggling near.

Men who are lost, and constantly sinning;

The story of pardon to tell.

As we work, and we watch, and we wait;
If we’re filling the place He assigns us,
Be its service small or great.

There’s only one thing should concern us,
To find just the task that is ours;
And then, having found it, to do it
With all of our God-giv’n pow’rs.

Our master is coming most surely,
To reckon with every one;
Shall we then count our toil or our sorrow,
If His sentence be, Well done?

There’s a work for me and a work for you,
Something for each of us to do,
Yes, a work for me and a work for you,
Something for each of us now to do.

Soon He’ll gather home His loved ones,
To the happy vale of song.

Where comes no night of care,

When, as the branches to the vine, my soul may cling to Thee?

An exile still, yet not unblest, while she can cling to Thee.
What though the world deceitful prove, and earthly friends and joys remove,
With patient, uncomplaining love still would I cling to Thee.

Oft when I seem to read alone some barren wast, with thorns o’ergrown,
A voice of love, in gentlest tone, whispers, still cling to Me.
Though faith and hope may long be tried, I ask not, need not aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied, the souls that cling to Thee!

They fear not life’s rough storms to brave, since Thou art near, strong to save;
Nor shudder e’en at death’s dark wave, because they cling to Thee.
Blessed is my lot, whate’er befall, what can disturb me, who appall,
While as my strength, my rock, my all, all, Savior, I cling to Thee!

With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;

Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above;

Through land of their sojourn, Thy Kingdom of love.

Evening Praise the Lord

:BRAVO:

Praise the Lord!

My cup overflows.
Psalm 23:5

oly:


O Thou, Whose Bounty Fills My Cup

O Thou, whose bounty fills my cup
With every blessing meet!
I give Thee thanks for every drop —
The bitter and the sweet.

I praise Thee for the desert road,
And for the riverside;
For all Thy goodness hath bestowed,
And all Thy grace denied.

I thank Thee for both smile and frown,
And for the gain and loss;
I praise Thee for the future crown,
And for the present cross.

I thank Thee for the wing of love,
Which stirred my worldly nest;
And for the stormy clouds which drove
The flutterer to Thy breast.

I bless Thee for the glad increase,
And for the waning joy;
And for this strange, this settled peace,
Which nothing can destroy.

A pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:1

Will You Meet Me at the Fountain

Will you meet me at the fountain, when I reach the glory land?
Will you meet me at the fountain? Shall I clasp your friendly hand?
Other friends will give me welcome, other loving voices cheer;
There’ll be music at the fountain; will you, will you meet me there?
Yes, I’ll meet you at the fountain, at the fountain bright and fair;
Oh, I’ll meet you at the fountain, yes, I’ll meet you, meet you there.


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Blessings, peace, grace and to all here at TOL!

Praise the Lord!

My cup runs over.
Psalm 23:5

Drinking From The Saucer

I’ve never made a fortune,
And I'll never make one now,
But it really doesn't matter
’Cause I'm happy anyhow.
As I go along my journey
I'm reaping better than I've sowed,
I'm drinking from the saucer
’Cause my cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough,
But with kin and friends to love me
I think I’m rich enough.
I thank God for the blessings
That His mercy has bestowed,
I'm drinking from the saucer
’Cause my cup has overflowed.

He gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I’ll not ask for other blessings for
I’m already blessed enough.
May we never be too busy
To help bear another's load,
Then we’ll all be drinking from the saucer
When our cups have overflowed.


oly:


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me ALL the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Amen!
Psalm 23:6

I Shall Dwell Forever There

When the night is o’er and the shadows past,
And eternal dawn dispels the gloom of earthly care;
In the home of God I shall rest at last,
In the land of Eden I shall dwell forever there.
I shall walk the streets of the city of God
With its tree of life so bright, so fair,
There will be no night — Jesus is the light,
I shall dwell forever there.


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
