oly:Sweeter Than Them All
I have made my choice forever
’twixt this world and God's dear Son,
Not can change my mind, no never,
He my heart has fully won.
Just take this world with all its treasure,
Take them, take them one and all,
Give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter than them all
When my life's work here is ended,
When I pass death's open door,
When to God I have ascended,
And my feet shall press the shore,
When my eyes have seen the angels,
Seen them, seen them one and all,
Then give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter than them all.
He's sweeter than them all,
Yes, He's sweeter than them all,
Just give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter, sweeter than them all.
oly:His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:10
Pardoning Grace
Sweeter than all is the love of the Savior,
Dearer by far than earth’s jewels so rare,
Flooding my soul by the grace of His favor,
Filling my heart with the spirit of prayer.
I am content, for I know He is near me,
Keeping me pure by His wonderful grace,
Whispering words full of comfort to cheer me,
Lighting my soul with a glimpse of His face.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:Listen! There Comes a Whisper
“Give Thy Heart to Me”
Listen! there comes a whisper
Stealing on thine ear:
’Tis the Savior calling,
Soft, soft and clear.
With that voice so gentle,
Dost thou hear Him say?
“Tell Me all thy sorrows;
Come, come away!”
Wouldst thou find a refuge
For thy soul oppressed?
Jesus kindly answers,
“I am thy Rest.”
At the cross of Jesus,
Let thy burden fall;
While He gently whispers,
“I’ll bear it all.”
“Give thy heart to Me,
I gave my life for thee”;
Listen! thy Savior calls:
Come, thou, come!
oly:And, behold, there came a voice unto him.
1 Kings 19:13
The Sweet Voice
When the roses of youth all their beauty display,
And the world seems as bright as a glad summer day,
When our hearts are as happy as happy can be,
When we gather with friends in the temple of prayer,
And the eye of our Father looks down on us there;
When we mingle our voices with hearts glad and free,
Let us come in our youth, and as long as we live,
Our affection, our worship, to Jesus we’ll give;
Then, whatever our trials or conflicts may be,
Still that sweet voice will whisper, “O come unto Me.”
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:He Whispers His Love to Me
’Tis so sweet just to know that along the way
Jesus walks by my side all the livelong day,
And He knows when the shadows begin to low’r,
And He whispers His love to me o’er and o’er.
When He scatters the gifts from His boundless store,
And His showers of blessing around me pour,
Lest I humble and grateful forget to be,
Jesus whispers His wonderful love to me.
When my heart is so tempted and sorely tried,
It is then that I know He is by my side,
And I know He will give me the victory,
As He whispers His wonderful love to me.
O His voice is so wondrously sweet to me!
There’s no music on earth has such melody;
There’s no joy that can come to the human heart
Like the joy that His love ever doth impart.
oly:His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:10
Sweeter Than All
Sweeter than all is the love of the Savior,
Dearer by far than earth’s jewels so rare,
Flooding my soul by the grace of His favor,
Filling my heart with the spirit of prayer.

Keeping me pure by His wonderful grace,
Whispering words full of comfort to cheer me,
Lighting my soul with a glimpse of His face.

Mark 6:53
We Have An Anchor
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Evening Praise the Lord
oly:My Anchor Holds
Though the angry surges roll on my tempest driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know, wildly though the winds may blow,
I’ve an anchor safe and sure, that can evermore endure.
Mighty tides about me sweep, perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o’ershade the sky, and the tempest rises high;
Still I stand the tempest’s shock, for my anchor grips the rock.
I can feel the anchor fast as I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen, bears the heavy strain between;
Through the storm I safely ride, till the turning of the tide.
Troubles almost ’whelm the soul, griefs like billows o’er me roll;
Tempters seek to lure astray, storms obscure the light of day:
But in Christ I can be bold, I’ve an anchor that shall hold.
And it holds, my anchor holds: blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail, by His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, yes my anchor holds; yes, my anchor holds! .
oly:He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed…and He guided them to their desired haven.
Psalm 107:29-30
Haven of Rest
My soul in sad exile was out on life’s sea,
So burdened with sin and distressed,
Till I heard a sweet voice, saying,
“Make Me your choice;”
And I entered the Haven of Rest!
I’ve anchored my soul in the “Haven of Rest,”
I’ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep,
In Jesus I’m safe evermore.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:Be Still My Soul
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;
Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,
So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye.
Be still, my soul: the sun of life divine
Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.
oly:Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.
John 14:27
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,when sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well, with my soul.
Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, and the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, “Even so” — it is well with my soul.
It is well, it is well, with my soul, yes, it is well, well with my soul.

oly:Precious Lord, Take My Hand
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.
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.
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.
oly:For I am persuaded that nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing Between
Nothing between my soul and my Savior,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream;

So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor;
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between!

Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Wholly lean upon His Word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His eternal faithfulness.

He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.
Human counsels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His compassion, love, and power,
Are the same forevermore.
Heav’n and earth may pass away,
God’s free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of His will.

Be Thyself our constant rock;
Make us, by Thy powerful hand,
Strong as Zion’s mountain stand.

oly:Leave It There
If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Leave it there, yes, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
oly:Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you.
Psalm 55:22
Jesus Took My Burden
Oft-times the way is dreary and rugged seems the road,
Oft-times I’m weak and weary when bent beneath some load,
But when I cry in weakness how long O Lord how long,
Jesus takes the burden and leaves me with a song.
Yes, Jesus took my burden I could no longer bear,
Yes, Jesus took my burden in answer to my prayer;
My anxious fears subsided my spirit was made strong,
For Jesus took my burden and left me with a song.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:No Compromise
No compromise with evil shall be our battle cry,
For God and right must conquer, and sin and wrong must die;
Unflinching we are standing, uncompromisingly,
Beneath the flag of holiness forever we will be.
No compromise with error, for Bible truth we stand,
Let none remove the landmarks erected by God’s hand.
With loyalty our watchword and faith in Christ our stay,
We’ll bravely storm the forts of sin and thro’ Him win the day.
No compromise with worldliness, no yielding to the wrong,
No lowering the standard that’s stood thro’ ages long;
With Jesus as our leader, His Spirit as our guide,
We’ll firmly stand for righteousness whatever may betide.
No compromise, no compromise,
This shall be our battle cry, no compromise!
For God and right we will boldly fight,
We'll firmly stand, we'll keep the standard high.
oly:Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23

Keep thy heart with earnest effort,

Cleanse its courts with loving care —
Face to face in sweet communion,
Thou shalt meet thy Savior there.

oly:Kind Words Can Never Die
Kind words can never die, cherished and blest;
God knows how deep they lie, stored in the breast;
Like childhood’s simple rhymes, said o’er a thousand times,
Aye, in all years and climes distant and near.
Kind words can never die, no, never die.
Sweet thoughts can never die, tho’, like the flow’rs,
Their brightest hues may fly, in wintry hours.
But when the gentle dew gives them their charms anew,
With many an added hue they bloom again.
Sweet thoughts can never die, no, never die.
Our souls can never die, tho’ in the tomb
We all may have to lie, wrapped in its gloom.
What tho’ the flesh decay, souls pass in peace away,
Live thro’ eternal day with Christ above.
Our souls can never die, no, never die.
oly:Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
Somebody Did a Golden Deed
Somebody did a golden deed, proving himself a friend in need;
Somebody sang a cheerful song, bright’ning the sky the whole day long.
Somebody tho’t ’tis sweet to live, willingly said, “I’m glad to give;”
Somebody fought a valiant fight, bravely he lived to shield the right.
Somebody made a loving gift, cheerfully tried a load to lift;
Somebody told the love of Christ, told how His will was sacrificed.
Somebody filled the days with light, constantly chased away the night;
Somebody’s work bore joy and peace, surely his life will never cease.
Was that somebody you?

oly:Sunday Morning Praise
Sing to the Lord, the Rock of Our Salvation
Sing to the Lord, the rock of our salvation!
Sing to the Lord a song of joy and praise!
Kneel in His presence, lowly in thanksgiving!
The lofty psalm upraise!
The land and sea are His, for He has made them,
The valleys of the earth, its rugged hills;
Corn-land and vineyards and the olive orchards,
All these His mercy fills.
And we, His people, sheep of His own pasture,
Lambs of His bosom, whom His hand has fed,
Shall we not hearken to our kindly shepherd
By whom our feet are led?
Oh, harden not your hearts, like those who wandered
The desert forty years to Jordan’s strand;
Humble and comforted, O chosen people,
Enter the promised land.
oly:With what shall I come before the LORD….
Micah 6:6
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise,
Manifested by the star to the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David’s stem in Thy birth at Bethlehem;
Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, mirrored in Thy holy Word;
May we imitate Thee now, and be pure, as pure art Thou;
That we like to Thee may be at Thy great Epiphany;
And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in man made manifest.

Break forth, break forth, O joyful heart,
And make His goodness known,
Who all thy life, though undeserved,
Such love to thee has shown.
’Twas Jesus sought my wand’ring soul,
And with a shepherd’s care
He brought me kindly to His fold,
And still protects me there.
He is my advocate with God,
My Savior and my friend,
His mercies new with every morn
Like balmy showers descend.
My soul shall magnify the Lord,
My voice His love proclaim,
And every power within me join
To bless and praise His name.
Break forth, break forth, O joyful heart,
Break forth, no longer silent be;
Break forth, break forth in grateful praise
To Him who came to ransom Thee.

I’m trusting, only trusting in Jesus day by day:
I feel His presence nearer, while pressing on my way;
My soul is full of glory, and this my song shall be:
I love my blessed Saviour, because He first loved me.
I’m trusting, only trusting in Jesus ev’ry hour,
Who saves me by His mercy, and keeps me by His power;
I’ll publish His salvation wherever I may be:
With all my heart I love Him, because He first loved me.
I’m trusting, only trusting my Saviour’s hand to guide,
I know His grace sufficient, and ask for naught beside;
My soul is on the mountain, my home beyond the sea:
O bless the Lord! I love Him, because He first loved me.
Because He first loved me, I love Him, I trust Him,
Wherever I may be, my soul is full of glory,
I sing because I’m free; I love my blessed Saviour,
Because He first loved me, I love Him, I trust Him.
oly:Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.
Philippians 3:8
Blessed Savior, Thee I love
Blessed Savior, Thee I love, all my other joys above,
All my hopes in Thee abide, Thou my Hope, and naught betide;
Once again beside the cross, all my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away, clouds they are that hide my day;
Hence, vain shadows! let me see Jesus, crucified for me.
Blessed Savior, Thine am I, Thine to live, and Thine to die;
Height or depth, or creature power, ne’er shall hide my Savior more;
Ever shall my glory be, only Thee, yes, only Thee.

oly:The Love of God
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin.
When years of time shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray, on rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure, all measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race — The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies 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.
O love of God, how rich and pure! How rich, how pure.
How measureless and strong! How measureless! How strong!
It shall forevermore endure, forevermore endure!
The saints’ and angels’ song. Amen and Amen!
oly:Because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19
O How I Love Jesus
There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth.
Jesus, the name I love so well, the name I love to hear:
No saint on earth its worth can tell, no heart conceive how dear.
O how I love Jesus, because He first loved me!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
