HYMN #398 JESUS CALLS US

Jesus calls us o’er the tumult
Of our life’s wild, restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
Saying “Christian, follow me!”

As of old the apostles heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for Jesus’ sake.

Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world’s golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying “Christian, love me more!”

In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christians, love me more than these!”

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thine obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all.

HYMN #397 I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

I need thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford.

I need thee,
O, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour,
Stay thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.

I need thee,
O, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

I need thee,
O, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour,
Teach me they will;
And thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

I need thee,
O, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.

I need thee,
O, I need thee;
Every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee.

HYMN #396 O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED

O Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
Be thou forever near me,
My Master and my friend.

I shall not fear the battle
If thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If thou wilt be my guide.

O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;

My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But Jesus, draw me nearer,
And shield my heart from sin.

O let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.

O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou guardian of my soul.

O Jesus, thou hast promised
To all who follow thee
That where thou art in glory
There shall thy servant be.

And Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.

HYMN #395 TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY

Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in him always,
And feed on his word.

Make friends of God’s children,
Help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy,
The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone.

By looking to Jesus,
Like him thou shalt be:
Thy friends in thy conduct
His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy,
Let Him be thy guide,
And run not before Him,
Whatever be-tide.

In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His word.

Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive,
Beneath His control.

Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.

HYMN #394 SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Something beautiful,
Something good;
All my confusion
He understood;
All I had to offer Him
Was brokenness and strife,
But He made
Something beautiful
Of my life.

Fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.

HYMN #391 O HAPPY DAY THAT FIXED MY CHOICE

O happy day, that fixed my choice
On thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how
To watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

O happy bond, that seals my vows
To him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill his house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how
To watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

It’s done: the great transaction’s done!
I am the Lord’s and he is mine;
He drew me and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how
To watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

Now rest, my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how
To watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in life’s latest hour I bow
And bless in death a bond so dear.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how
To watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

HYMN #390 FORGIVE OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE

“Forgive our sins as we forgive,”
You taught us, Lord, to pray;
But you alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say.

How can your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart?

In blazing light your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew:
What trivial debts are owed to us,
How great our debt to you!

Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls,
And bid resentment cease;
Then, bound to all in bonds in love,
Our lives will spread your peace.

HYMN #389 FREELY, FREELY

God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name,
I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name,
And in Jesus’ name I come to you,
To share His love as He told me to.

He said, “Freely, freely you have received,
Freely, freely give.
Go in my name and because you believe,
Others will know that I live.”

All power is given in Jesus’ name,
In earth and heaven in Jesus’ name,
And in Jesus’ name I come to you,
To share His power as He told me to.

He said, “Freely, freely you have received,
Freely, freely give.
Go in my name and because you believe,
Others will know that I live.”
