Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25-34

​

oly:


Do Not Worry

Do not worry for your life, what you’ll eat or drink or wear;
Is not life much more important than these things that cause you care?
See the birds, they sow and reap not, nor in barns do store away.
Yet your heav’nly Father feeds them, have you not more worth than they?

And why worry about clothing? See the lilies’ glad array;
Solomon in all his splendor never dressed as fine as they.
This is how God clothes the grasses, though their life is but a day.
Will He not much more meet your needs? Let your faith not fade away.

So I tell you, do not worry, asking what you’ll eat or drink.
Nor be anxious about clothing, these are things that all men seek.
And your Father knows you need them; worry won’t command His power.
Which of you by constant fretting adds to life a single hour?

Seek first, then, your Father’s kingdom and His righteousness on high.
All these things will then be given; God will not neglect your cry.
So fret not about tomorrow; God directs the future, too.
Though each day will bring its troubles, trust in Him, He’ll see you through.

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1 John 5:14-15 ~ “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Luke 11:9-10​

Bless This Hour of Prayer

Come in our midst, O gracious Lord, unveil Thy smiling face,
Distil in every waiting heart, the dew of heavenly grace;
From earthly scenes we turn aside, on Thee we cast our care;
Thy promise we believe, that bids us seek and we shall find,
We gather at Thy mercy seat, our only hope is there,
Support the weak, the mourner cheer, help all their cross to bear;
Thou spring of joy, Thou source of life, O! bless this hour of prayer.

God of All Comfort

“God of all comfort,” calm and fair
Stretch the broad plains beneath Thine eye;
And silent, through the hazy air,
Rise the blue hills to meet the sky.

The music of the Sabbath bells
Floats softly on the balmy air,
And the green earth in thousand tones
Lifts to Thy throne her grateful prayer.

“God of all comfort,” deeper far
Than the glad voice of earth or sea,
Swells the full tide of thankful song
Our hearts would offer unto Thee.

Yet when we strive, our lips can frame
No words to speak Thy matchless love,
So far the honor of Thy name
Lies all our highest thoughts above.

Read Thou within our silent hearts,
The songs they vainly seek to raise,
And count their grateful tears for prayer,
Their blessed joy for tuneful praise.

A place where sin cannot molest…
There is a place of comfort sweet, near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet…
There is a place of full release, near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace…

Hold us who wait before Thee…

O Thou Whose Hand Hath Brought Us

O Thou whose hand hath brought us unto this joyful day,
Accept our glad thanksgiving, and listen as we pray;
And may our preparation for this day’s service be
With one accord to offer ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.

For this Thy house we praise Thee, reared at Thine own command,
For every generous spirit, and every willing hand;
And now within Thy temple Thy glory let us see,
For all its strength and beauty are nothing without Thee.

And oft as here we gather, and hearts in worship blend,
May truth reveal its power, and fervent prayers ascend;
Here may the busy toiler rise to the things above;
The young, the old, be strengthened, and all men learn Thy love.

And as the years roll onward, and strong affections twine,
And tender mem’ries gather about this sacred shrine,
May this its chief distinction, its glory, ever be,
That multitudes within it have found their way to Thee.

Lord God, our fathers’ helper, our joy, and hope and stay:
Grant now a gracious earnest of many a coming day.
Our yearning hearts Thou knowest, we wait before Thy throne,
O come, and by Thy presence make this new house Thine own.

O Love That Will Not Let Go

O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

God Leads Us Along

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,

Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.

Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.

Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.

Away from the mire, and away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His dear children along.

Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

They follow wherever I go; a stranger’s voice do they not know;
My sheep hear My voice, and to pastures green I lead them so often to feed,
And to the cool sparkling stream where beside its still waters I lead.
My sheep will know My voice, in the valley of dread I shall lead them some day;
But no danger nor harm can touch them, for I will be with them alway.
My sheep know My voice, and day by day they abide in the fold and go not astray,
They love Me, they made me their choice, My sheep know My voice.

Friends may forsake me; He’ll be true.
Trusting in Him, He’ll guide me through.

Living for Jesus till at last
Into His glory I have passed;
There to behold Him on His throne,
Hear from His lips, “My child, well done!”

Help me to serve Thee more and more.
Help me to praise Thee o’er and o’er;
Live in Thy presence day by day,
Never to turn from Thee away.

Nor ours to hear, on seasons eves, the reaper’s song among the sheaves.
And ours the grateful service whence comes, day by day, the recompense;
The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, the fountain, and the noonday shade.
And were this lift the utmost span, the only end and aim of man,
Better the toil of fields like these than waking dream and slothful ease.
But life, though falling like our grain, like that revives and springs again;
And, early called, how blest are they who wait in heaven, their harvest day!

But wholly trust in Jesus’ name.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

If such blessing it affords us just to tell the precious story,

And the Lord, unseen, to us so dear can be;
If we love Him while in tears and pain for harvest we are sowing,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be?

If when those we love are taken from us we can still adore Him,
And to Him in that dark hour for comfort flee;
As we clasp their hands on yonder shore, to cast our crowns before Him,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be?

What will it be? What will it be?

And your soul is almost sinking in despair,

Don’t forget that God in Heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care;
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end.
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.

Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a mother’s faith
Can help us on life’s way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

And a mother's steadfast love

Sunday Morning Praise

We Gather in Thy Name

We gather in Thy name, O Master,
We come with one accord;
O meet with us, we pray, this moment,
Fulfill Thy holy Word.

We gather in Thy name, O Savior,
Thy grace on us bestow;
Now let us feel Thy gracious presence,
And with Thy love o’erflow.

We gather in Thy name, O Jesus,
We come to worship Thee;
For Thou dost save us thro’ Thy merit,
To all eternity.

Meet with us, we pray,
Meet with us today,
Set our waiting hearts aflame;
Fill us with Thy love,
Sent from Heav’n above,
As we gather in Thy name.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1 Corinthians 16:23

Wonderful Grace of Jesus

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful all sufficient grace for even me.
Broader than all of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Colossians 3:17

Have I Done My Best For Jesus?

I wonder have I done my best for Jesus,
Who died upon the cruel tree?
To think of His great sacrifice at Calvary!
I know my Lord expects the best from me.

I wonder have I cared enough for others,
Or have I let them die alone?
I might have helped a wand’rer to the Saviour,
The seed of precious Life I might have sown.

No longer will I stay within the valley
I’ll climb to mountain heights above;
The world is dying now for want of someone
To tell them of the Saviour’s matchless love.

How many are the lost that I have lifted?
How many are the chained I’ve helped to free?
I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
When He has done so much for me?

But earnestly desire the best gifts.
And yet I show you a more excellent way.
1 Corinthians 12:31

Give of Your Best to the Master

Give of your best to the Master,
Give Him your loyal devotion,
Give the best you have.
Give of your best to the Master,
Naught else is worthy of His love.
He gave Himself for your ransom,
Gave up His glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur,
You from sin’s ruin to save.
Give Him your heart’s adoration,
Give Him the best you have.


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Psalm 108:1

​

oly:


My Steadfast Heart, O God

My steadfast heart, O God,
Will sound Thy praise abroad
With tuneful string;
The dawn shall hear my song,
Thy praise I will prolong,
And where Thy people throng
Thanksgiving bring.

Thy truth and tender love
Are high as Heav’n above;
Thy help we crave.
Be Thou exalted high
Above the lofty sky;
Lest Thy beloved die,
O hear and save.

God’s Word shall surely stand;
His name through every land
Shall be adored;
Lord, who shall lead our host?
Thine aid we covet most,
In Thee is all our boast,
Strong in the Lord.

I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
Psalm 17:15

Some Sweet Morn

Some sweet morn the day will break,
Nevermore to sink in night.
Some sweet morn we shall awake,
Mid the everlasting light.
Some sweet day the end shall come
To our parting and our pain,
Some sweet day we’ll all go home,
Nevermore to part again.
Some sweet morn we’ll see His face,
And we shall be satisfied.


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
