I heard the voice of Jesus say
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: Together in Song #585 (1999) Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.'
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.'
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.'
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk,
till travelling days are done.

I will love thee;
and, that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast,
thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enroll thee:
ev'n eternity's too short
to extol thee. Scripture: 1 John 4:16-21 Languages: English Tune Title: GWALCHMAI

O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,

till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.

thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,

O still small voice of calm. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-21 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord who left the heavens

chooses the pure in heart.

in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor ev'n the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 So shalt you, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day and night
from sacredness be free;
but with you, Lord, in every step,
my fellowship will be. Scripture: 1 John 1:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND

and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move,
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:8-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL

from the sins that hurt us,
would to truth convert us;
from our folly spares us,
and his own declares us.
3 So, as you have known him,
be prepared to own him;
do not spurn him coldly,
but still trust him boldly;
for our Lord receives us,
heals us, and forgives us.
4 Christ, all grace possessing,
comes to us in blessing;
to his Supper leads us,
with himself he feeds us,
love and mercy showing,
peace on us bestowing.
5 Come then, O Lord Jesus,
from our bondage free us,
in your love enfold us,
in true faith uphold us.
Let us here confess you,
till in heaven we bless you. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTES SOHN IST KOMMEN

raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.

4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within:
thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee,
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity.

A man there lived in Galilee
Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: Together in Song #235 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 A man there lived in Galilee
like no one else before,
for he alone from first to last
our flesh unsullied wore;
a perfect life of perfect deeds
once to the world was shown,
that everyone might mark his steps
and in them place their own.
2 A man there died on Calvary
above all others brave;
he gave to all, he saved and blessed,
himself he scorned to save;
no thought can gauge the weight of woe
on him, the sinless, laid;
we only know that with his death
our ransom price was paid.
3 A man there stands at God's right hand,
divine, yet human still;
that grand, heroic, peerless soul
death sought in vain to kill.
All power is his: supreme he rules
all realms of time and space;
yet still our human cares and needs
find in his heart a place. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21 Languages: English Tune Title: TYROLESE

covered with meritorious scars,
the tokens of his dying love
our great high-priest in glory bears,
he pleads his passion on the tree,
he shows himself to God for me.
2 Before the throne my Saviour stands,
my friend and advocate appears;
my name is graven on his hands,
and him the Father always hears;
while low at Jesus' cross I bow,
he hears the blood of sprinkling now.
3 This instant now I may receive
the answer of his powerful prayer;
this instant now by him I live,
his prevalence with God declare;
and soon my spirit, in his hands,
shall stand where my forerunner stands.

3 Gird on thy thigh the Spirit’s sword,
and take to thee thy power divine;
stir up thy strength, almighty Lord,
all power and majesty are thine:
assert thy worship and renown;
O all-redeeming God, come down.
4 Come, and maintain thy righteous cause,
and let thy glorious toil succeed;
spread forth the victory of thy cross,
ride on, and prosper in thy deed;
through earth triumphantly ride on,
and reign in every heart alone. Scripture: Colossians 1:19-20 Languages: English Tune Title: WORSLEY

Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
When I survey the wondrous cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Together in Song #342 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 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?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small:
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember thee:

and all thy love to me!

will I remember thee.

and mind and memory flee,
when thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
then, Lord, remember me. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA

and full of love divine,
perfect, and right, and pure, and good —
your life revealed in mine.

This is a day of new beginnings
Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Together in Song #653 (1999) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember, and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.
2 For by the life and death of Jesus,
God's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference
as faith and hope are born again.
3 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
step from the past, and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4 Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.
4* In faith we'll gather round the table
to taste and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.

mighty in all your ways.

his scepter, pity in distress;
the end of all our woes he brings,

Our Saviour, we now raise
our grateful hymns of praise.

where Christ the ruler is confessed!
What happy hearts and happy homes
to whom this king in triumph comes!
The cloudless sun of joy he is,
Who brings us pure delight and bliss.
Our Comforter, we raise
our grateful hymns of praise.
4 Lift up the gates; lift up your heart,
make it a temple set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy:
so shall your sovereign enter in,
and new and nobler life begin.
To you, O God, be praise
for word, and deed, and grace.

my heart to you I open wide.

your grace and love in me reveal;
your Holy Spirit guide us on
until our glorious goal is won.

we offer to your name. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Languages: English Tune Title: MACH NOCH DIE TÜR
