Thy way, not mine, O Lord
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #573 (1961) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
How ever dark it be!
Lead me by thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me;
Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to thy rest.
2 The kingdom that I seek
Is thine; so let the way
That leads to it be thine,
Else I must surely stray.
I dare not choose my lot;
I would not if I might:
Choose thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright.
3 Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill
As best to thee may seem;
Choose thou my good and ill.
Not mine, not mine the choice
In things or great or small;
Be thou my Guide, my Strength,
My Wisdom, and my All. Scripture: Romans 6:13 Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James W. Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #44 (2013) Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Topics: God Ways Of Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
thou who hast, by thy might, led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee,
lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land. Scripture: Exodus 15 Languages: English Tune Title: ANTHEM
Lift Every Voice and Sing
Come with all joy to sing to God
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #16 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God
our saving rock, the living Lord;
in glad thanksgiving seek his face
with songs of victory and grace.
2 In holiness and light arrayed
above all gods that we have made,
he is the one almighty king,
and his the glory that we sing.
3 The earth is his from east to west,
from ocean-floor to mountain-crest;
he made the sea and formed the lands,
he shaped the islands by his hands.
4 Come near to worship! Come with faith,
bow down to him who gives us breath:
God is our shepherd, he alone;
we are his people, all his own.
5 But if you hear God's voice today
do not reject what he will say;
when Israel wandered from God's path
they suffered forty years of wrath.
6 That generation went astray;
they did not want to know his way:
they put their saviour to the test,
and saw his power, but lost their rest.
7 So to the God of earth and heaven,
the Father, Spirit, Son, be given
praise now, as praise has ever been
and ever shall be praise — Amen! Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: FULDA
Come with all joy to sing to God
How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #29 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: God Ways Of Lyrics: 1 How sweet was the garden, fertile and fair,
the first and best home God gave to our care,
a paradise lavished on creatures of clay;
yet we were not willing to follow God’s way.
2 We freely could eat from all but one tree
(forbidden, perhaps, lest gods we might be?),
but tasting we grew not divine after all:
the fruit in our mouth turned from nectar to gall.
3 From dark, bitter fruit came forth a bright seed,
for God did not turn from us in our need;
the love that first formed us embraces us still
and woos us from wandering to follow God’s will.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #46B (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever present aid,
and, therefore, though the earth gives way,
we will not be afraid;
though hills amidst the sea be cast,
'though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
the city of our God,
the holy place wherein the Lord
Most High has his abode;
Since God is in the midst of her,
unmoved her walls shall stand,
for God will be her early help,
when trouble is at hand.
3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved,
but when his voice was heard,
the troubled earth was stilled to peace
before his mighty word.
The Lord of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
4 O come, behold what wondrous works
the Lord's great might has wrought;
come, see what desolation great
he on the earth has brought.
To utmost ends of all the earth
he causes war to cease;
the weapons of the strong destroyed,
he makes abiding peace.
5 Be still and know that I am God,
o'er all exalted high;
the subject nations of the earth
my name shall magnify.
The Lord of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #455 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace; Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis myst'ry all! Th'Immortal dies:
who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]
3 He left his Father's throne above
(so free, so infinite his grace!),
humbled himself (so great his love!)
and bled for all his chosen race!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain]
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th'eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain] Scripture: Romans 5:6-11 Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA

I Am Not Skilled to Understand
Author: Dora Greenwell Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #459 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace; Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
what God has willed, what God has planned;
I only know that at his right hand
is One who is my Savior!
2 I take him at his word indeed:
“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;
for in my heart I find a need
of him to be my Savior!
3 That he should leave his place on high
and come for sinful man to die,
you count it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior!
4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see
the travail of his soul in me,
and with his work contented be,
as I with my dear Savior!
5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring
my strength, my solace from this spring;
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.
Scripture: Acts 5:31 Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWELL
