O GOD OF BETHEL BY WHOSE HAND

Salzburg (Haydn)

1. O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led:

2. Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before thy throne of grace:
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.

3. Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.

4. O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

Gradual Hymn

CHRIST IS MINE FOREVERMORE

CityAlight

1. Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings
--
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, his love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am His forevermore

2. Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good

But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes his work in me

3. Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for his name

But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And he has said he will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

4. And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

Come rejoice now, O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore!

Offertory Hymn

O FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD

Martyrdom

1. O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

2. What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

3. Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

4. The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

5. So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

Communion Hymn

I SURRENDER ALL

Surrender

1. All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live

[Chorus]
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all

2. All to Jesus I surrender
Humbly at His feet I bow
Worldly pleasures all forsaken
Take me Jesus take me now [Chorus]

3. All to Jesus I surrender
Make me Savior wholly Thine
Let me feel the Holy Spirit
Truly know that Thou art mine [Chorus]

4. All to Jesus I surrender
Lord I give myself to Thee
Fill me with Thy love and power
Let Thy blessing fall on me [Chorus]

5. All to Jesus I surrender
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation
Glory glory to His name [Chorus]

Communion Hymn

HIS FOREVER

Sczebel

1. Jesus, friend of sinners
Loved me 'ere I knew Him
Drew me with His cords of love
Tightly bound me to Him
'Round my heart still closely twined
The ties that none can sever
For I am His and He is mine
Forever and forever

2. Jesus, friend of sinners
A crown of thorns You wore for me
Bruised for my transgressions
Pierced for my iniquities
The wrath of God that I deserved
Was poured out on the Innocent
He took my place, my soul to save
Now I am His forever

3. Jesus, friend of sinners
I love to tell the story
Redeeming love has been my theme
And will be when in glory
Not death nor life nor anything
Can ever separate me
O love that will not let me go
Yes, I am His forever

Recessional Hymn

YOUR THRONE O GOD

Kerr

[Chorus]
Your throne O God
Will last forever and ever
Your throne O God
Will last forever and ever
A scepter of justice
Will be the scepter of Your Kingdom
Your throne O God
Will last forever forever and ever

[Chorus]

1. High in the heavenlies
You rule over all of creation
Angels surround You with praise
We join in their chorus [Chorus]

2. Through all generations
Your memory will be remembered
Nations are lifting their praise,
We join with our voices [Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yours is the kingdom
The power the glory
Kingdoms of earth will fall
But Yours will stand forever

[Chorus x2]
