New Every Morning is the Love

New every morning is the love
our waking and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.

New mercies each returning day
around us hover while we pray,
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still of countless price
God will provide for sacrifice.

The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask,
room to deny ourselves,
a road to bring us daily nearer God.

Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above,
and help us, this and every day
to live more nearly as we pray!

How Far Love Goes

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus.
No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the Cross before me;
the world behind me, the Cross before me;
the world behind me, the Cross before me.
No turning back, no turning back.

Though none go with me, I still will follow;
though none go with me, I still will follow;
though none go with me, I still will follow.
No turning back, no turning back.

Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.

This is My Father’s World

This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and ’round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks, and trees, of skies, and seas —
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world;
the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world;
He shines in all that’s fair;
in the rustling grass, I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father’s world;
oh let me not forget
that though the wrong seems oft’ so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world,
the battle is not done;
Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied,
and earth and heaven be one.

Jesus, All For Jesus

(Words & Music: © Robin Mark. Church CCLI #2458953)

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought in the day and the night,
waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom; be Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, thine own may I be,
Thou in me dwelling, and I one with Thee.

Riches I heed not, nor vain earthly praise,
Thou my inheritance, though all my days;
Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art!

The Church’s One Foundation

The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are His new creation
by water and the word;
from heaven He came and sought us
that we might ever be
His living servant people,
by His own death set free.

Called forth from every nation,
yet one o’er all the earth,
our charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth,
one holy name professing
and at one table fed,
to one hope we are pressing,
by Christ’s own Spirit led.

We now on earth have union
with God the Three-in-One,
and share, through faith, communion
with those whose rest is won, —
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with Thee.

Jésus Serviteur

Words & Music: Hélène Lemieux

(This is a rough translation from the original French words)

Jesus, kneeling at the foot of our heart,
Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

Jesus, nailed to the Cross, linked to our hearts,
Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

He loves us until the end,
His heart is pierced.

Jesus, the Eucharist, fills us with the Spirit.
Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

He loved us until the end,
broken for our hearts.

Jesus, whom we adore, beloved in our hearts.
Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

Like Him, we should love until the end,
our hands are His heart.

Jesus, kneeling at the foot of our hearts,
Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

Servant Jesus, Lord Jesus.

Shine, Jesus, Shine

Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
in the midst of the darkness, shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us.
Set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me; shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine;
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow;
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
send forth Your word,
Lord, and let there be light!

Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,
from the shadows into Your radiance;
by Your blood I may enter Your brightness.
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me; shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine;
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow;
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
send forth Your word,
Lord, and let there be light!

As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
so our faces display Your likeness,
ever changing from glory to glory:
mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me; shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine;
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow;
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
send forth Your word,
Lord, and let there be light!

Jesus Calls Us Here to Meet Him

Jesus calls us here to meet Him
as, through word and song and prayer,
we affirm God’s promised presence
where His people live and care.
Praise the God who keeps His promise;
praise the Son who calls us friends;
praise the Spirit who, among us,
to our hopes and fears attends.

Jesus calls us to confess Him;
Word of Life and Lord of all,
sharer of our flesh and frailness
saving all who fail or fall.
Tell His holy human story;
tell His tales that all may hear;
tell the world that Christ in glory
came to earth to meet us here.

Jesus calls us to His table
rooted firm in time and space,
where the church in earth and heaven
finds a common meeting place.
Share the bread and wine, His body;
share the love of which we sing;
share the feast for saints and sinners
hosted by our Lord and King.

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

Here is Bread, Here is Wine

Here is bread; here is wine:
Christ is with us: He is with us.
Break the bread; taste the wine:
Christ is with us here.

Here is grace; here is peace:
Christ is with us: He is with us.
Know His grace; find His peace:
feast on Jesus here.

In this bread, there is healing;
in this cup there’s life forever.
In this moment, by the Spirit,
Christ is with us here.

Here we are, joined in one:
Christ is with us; He is with us.
We’ll proclaim, till He comes,
Jesus crucified.

In this bread, there is healing;
in this cup there’s life forever.
In this moment, by the Spirit,
Christ is with us here.

Sent Forth By Your Blessing

Sent forth by Your blessing,
our true faith confessing,
Your people, O God, from Your table take leave.
The supper is ended:
oh now be extended
the fruits of Your service in all who believe.
The seed of Your teaching
our hungry souls reaching,
shall blossom in action for all humankind.
Your grace shall incite us,
Your love shall unite us
to work for Your kingdom, Your purpose to find.

With praise and thanksgiving
to God ever-living
the task of our everyday life we will face,
our faith ever sharing,
in love ever caring,
embracing as neighbours all those of each race.
One feast that has fed us,
one light that has led us,
unite us as one in Your life that we share.
Then may all the living,
with praise and thanksgiving,
give honour to Christ and His name that we bear.

Let Us With a Gladsome Mind

Let us with a gladsome mind
praise the Lord, so good and kind:
for God’s mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us blaze God’s name abroad;
of all gods the Lord is God,
for God’s mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

God with all-commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light,
for God’s mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

All things living God doth feed;
with full hand supplies their need,
for God’s mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

Speak, Lord, in the Stillness

Speak, Lord, in the stillness
speak Your word to me;
hushed my heart to listen
in expectancy.

Speak, O gracious Master,
in this quiet hour;
let me see Your face, Lord,
feel Your touch of power.

Speak, Your servant listens,
be not silent, Lord;
let me know Your presence;
let Your voice be heard.

Joyful, Joyful We Adore You

Joyful, joyful we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love.
Hearts unfold like flowers before You,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.

All Your works with joy surround You;
earth and heaven reflect Your rays;
stars and angels sing around You,
centre of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
join to praise You joyfully.

You are giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blessed,
well-spring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest.
God Creator, Christ our Saviour,
all are Yours who live in love.
Teach us how to love our neighbour;
lift us to Your joy above.

Morning stars, awake the chorus;
mortals, join with every part,
for what joy is set before us
as Christ’s love joins heart to heart!
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward
in the triumph song of life.

Praise the Lord with the Sound of Trumpet

Praise the Lord with the sound of trumpet,
praise the Lord with the harp and lute,
praise the Lord with the gentle sounding flute.
Praise the Lord in the field and forest,
praise the Lord in the city square,
praise the Lord anytime and anywhere.

Praise the Lord in the wind and sunshine,
praise the Lord in the dark of night,
praise the Lord in the rain or snow
or in the morning light.
Praise the Lord in the deepest valley,
praise the Lord on the highest hill,
praise the Lord; never let your voice be still.

Praise the Lord with the crashing cymbal,
praise the Lord with the pipe and string,
praise the Lord with the joyful songs you sing.
Praise the Lord on a weekday morning,
praise the Lord on a Sunday noon,
praise the Lord by the light of sun or moon.

Praise the Lord in the time of sorrow,
praise the Lord in the time of joy,
praise the Lord every moment;
nothing let your praise destroy.
Praise the Lord in the peace and quiet,
praise the Lord in your work or play,
praise the Lord everywhere in every way.

Cares Chorus

I cast all my cares upon You.
I lay all of my burdens
down at Your feet.
And any time
that I don’t
know what to do,
I will cast all my cares upon You.

I cast all my cares upon You.
I lay all of my burdens
down at Your feet.
And any time
that I don’t
know what to do,
I will cast all of my cares upon You —
I will cast all my cares upon You.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me:
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

What thanks I owe you, and what love —
a boundless, endless store —
shall echo through the realms above
when time shall be no more.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
than when we’d first begun.

Count Your Blessings

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done!

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done!

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done!

You Are My All in All

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all.
Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool,
You are my all in all.

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

When I am dry You fill my cup,
You are my all in all.

Worthy is Your name.

All the Way My Saviour Leads Me

All the way my Saviour leads me;
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy
who through life has been my guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
here by faith in Him to dwell;
for I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well —
for I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for every trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see —
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Saviour leads me,
oh the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised,
in my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,
this my song through endless ages,
“Jesus led me all the way!” —
this my song through endless ages,
“Jesus led me all the way!”

Day by Day and With Each Passing Moment

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
gives unto each day what He deems best,
lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord, Himself, is near me,
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counellor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
is a charge that on Himself He laid.
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,
so to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
till with Christ the Lord I stand.

In His Time

In the Bulb There is a Flower

In the bulb there is a flower,
in the seed, an apple tree,
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there’s a spring that waits to be;
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there’s a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning,
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing,
in our life, eternity;
in our death, a resurrection,
at the last, a victory;
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
