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

(Words & Music: Diane Ball © Maranatha Music, Church CCLI #2458953)

 

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.

Come To Us, Beloved Stranger

Come to us, beloved Stranger,
as You came that Easter day.
Walk with us to our Emmaus,
for we need You still today.
Come to us when we are broken,
when our dearest hopes are lost,
speak to us the prophets’ message
You fulfilled upon the cross.

Stay with us and give us blessing,
that our hopes again may rise.
Offer us Your broken body;
open our unseeing eyes.
Come to us, God’s love embodied;
touch our hearts with burning flame.
Risen Christ, once dead, now living,
come to us through joy, through pain.

We would never fail to see You
as You walk with us each day.
As a friend and not a stranger
You would join us on our way.
Help us trust that through Your mercy
we can doubt and fear transcend,
and to others be a blessing.
Keep us faithful till life’s end!

Be Thou My Vision

(Music: Public Domain, Words © Oxford University Press, 1961 Church CCLI# 2458953)

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song.
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease,
my Comforter, my All in All
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
the wrath of God was satisfied,
for every sin on Him was laid,
here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.
For I am His, and He is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
this is the power of Christ in me.
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand.
Till He returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand.
Till He returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

At the Dawning of Salvation

At the dawning of salvation,
in the morning of the world,
Christ is raised, a living banner
by the love of God unfurled.
Through the daylight, through the darkness,
Christ leads on His great array:
all the saints and all the sinners
He has gathered on His way.

He is risen in the morning;
He is risen from the dead;
He is laughter after sadness;
He is light when night has fled.
He has suffered; He has triumphed;
life is His alone to give:
as He gave it once, He gives it
evermore, that we may live.

For the glory of salvation
in the dawn of Easter day
we will praise You, loving Father;
we rejoice to sing and pray
with the Son and with the Spirit.
Lead us on, Your great array,
saints and sinners celebrating
Your triumphant love today.

Jesus, All For Jesus

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

 

The Day of Resurrection

The day of resurrection — earth tell it out abroad,
the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God!
From death to life eternal, from earth unto the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over with hymns of victory.

Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light,
and, listening to his accents, may hear, so calm and plain,
His own “All Hail!” and, hearing, may raise the victor strain.

Now let the heavens be joyful; let earth its song begin;
let the round world keep triumph, and all that is therein;
invisible and visible, their notes together blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that hath no end

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

(Words: Isaac Watts, Music: Edward Miller.  Words and Music: Public Domain)

Were You There?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
An upper room did our Lord prepare
For those He loved until the end,
And His disciples still gather there
To celebrate their risen Friend.

A lasting gift Jesus gave His own —
To share His bread, His loving cup;
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
He, by His Cross, shall lift us up.

And after supper, He washed their feet,
For service, too, is sacrament;
In Him our joy shall be made complete —
Sent out to serve, as He was sent.

 

Here is Bread; Here is Wine

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.

All Glory, Laud, and Honour

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal son,
who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and blessed one.

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

The people of the Hebrews with palms before Thee went,
our praise and prayer and anthems before Thee we present.

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

To Thee before Thy passion they sang their hymns of praise;
to Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.

 

Filled With Excitement

Filled with excitement, all the happy throng
Spread cloaks and branches on the city streets.
There in the distance they begin to see,
Riding on a donkey, comes the Son of God.
From every corner a thousand voices sing
Praises to Him who comes in the name of God.
With one great shout of acclamation loud
Triumphant songs break forth:

Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!
Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!!

As in that entrance to Jerusalem,
We sing hosannas to the Christ, our King,
To the living Saviour who still calls today,
Asking us to follow Him with love and faith.
From every corner a thousand voices sing
Praises to Him who comes in the name of God.
With one great shout of acclamation loud
Triumphant songs break forth:

Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!
Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!!
