May the Mind of Christ, Our Savior

May the mind of Christ, our Savior, live in us from day to day;
By His love and grace controlling, all we do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly, in our hearts from hour to hour;
So that all may see we triumph, only through His power.

May the peace of God our Father, rule our lives in everything;
That we may be quick to comfort, sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill us, as the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing, this is victory!

May we run the race before us, strong and brave to face our foes;
Looking only unto Jesus, as we onward go.

May His beauty rest upon us, as we strive our Light to Shine;
And may they forget the channel, seeing only Him.

Here, O Our Lord, We See Thee Face to Face

Here, O our Lord, we see Thee face to face, here do we touch and handle things unseen;
Here see with clearer eye eternal grace, and all our weariness upon Thee lean.

Here do we feed upon the Bread of God, here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n;
Here do we lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

We have no help but Thine, nor do we need, another arm save Thine to lean upon;
It is enough, Our Lord, enough indeed, Our strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Ours was the sin, but Thine the righteousness, ours was the guilt, but Thine the cleansing Blood;
Here is our Robe, our Refuge, and our Peace, Thy Blood, Thy Righteousness, O Lord Our God!

We Gather Together

We gather together, to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chasten and hastens, His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing, now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to His name, He forsakes not His own!

Beside us, to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining, His Kingdom divine;
So from the beginning, the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader Triumphant,
We know that Thou always our Fortress will be,
For Thy congregation, endures all tribulation
Thy Name be ever praised; Thou hast made us free!

We Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

We love Thy Kingdom, Lord, the House of Thine Abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved, with His own precious Blood!

We love Thy Church, O God, Her walls be-fore Thee stand,
Dear as the Apple of Thine eye, and graven on Thy hand.

For Her our tears shall fall, for Her our prayers ascend,
To Her our toils and cares be giv'n, till toils and care shall end!

Beyond our highest joys, we prize Her heav'nly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise!

Sure as Thy truth does stand, to Zion has been giv'n,
The brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter glories of heav'n!

O Word of God Incarnate

O Word of God Incarnate, O Wisdom from on High,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O light of our deep sky;
We praise Thee for the ra-diance, that from Thy hallowed Sage,
A lantern to our foot-steps, shines on from age to age!

The Church, from her dear Master, received the Gift divine,
And still that Light she lifteth, o'er all the world to shine.
He is the golden chalice, where all our gems are stored,
He is the risen Master, He's Christ, the living Word!

He floweth like a banner, that's by God's host unfurled;
He shineth like a beacon, before a blinded world,
He is the chart and compass, that o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mist and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O God, to Thee!

Thou'st made Thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest Gold;
To bear before the nations,Thy true Light as of old,
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims, by Thee their path to trace,
Till clouds and darkness ended, they see Thee face to face!

Oh, Thou Almighty King

Oh Thou Almighty King, help us Thy name to sing;
Help us to praise, Father all glorious, o'er all victorious,
Thou dost reign over all, Ancient of days!

Oh Thou Incarnate Word, Thou art for-ever our Lord,
Our prayer attend, Thou hast Thy people blessed,
And giv'n Thy Word success, Spirit of Holiness, in us be dressed!

Oh Holy Com-forter, Thy sacred wi-tness bear;
In this glad hour: Thou who almighty art, dost rule in every heart,
Thou'll ne'er from us depart, Spi-rit of Power!

To Thee, Great One in Three, E-ternal prai-ses be!
Hence evermore; Thy Sovereign Majesty,
May we in glory see, and for eternity, love and adore!

Jesus Does Reign

Jesus does reign, where-e'er the sun, does his successive journeys run;
His Kingdom spread from shore to shore, till moons shall wax and wan no more!

To Him shall endless pray'r be made, and endless praises crown His head;
His name, like sweet perfume shall rise, with our daily sacrifice!

People and realms of every tongue, dwell on His love with sweetest song,
And infant voices do proclaim, their early blessings on His name!

Let every creature rise and bring, His grateful honor to our King;
Angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud 'Amen'!

Jesus lives, and So Do We

Jesus lives, and so do we; death, thy sting is gone forever!
He for us did deign to die, lives the bands of death, He's severed!
He has raised us from the dust, Jesus is our strength and trust!

Jesus lives and reigns supreme, and His Kingdom still remaining;
We shall ever be with Him, ever living, ever reigning!
God has promised, be it must, Jesus is our strength and trust!

Jesus lives, and by His grace, vic'try o'er our passions giving,
So have changed our hearts and ways, ever to His glory living!
He has raised us from the dust, Jesus is our strength and trust!

Jesus lives, we know full well, Naught from Him our hearts can sever;
Life nor death nor pow'rs of hell,joy nor grief, henceforth forever
None of all His saints is lost, Jesus is our strength and trust!

Jesus lives, and death is naught, for we've entered into glory;
Courage then my brothers, thou, hast a crown of life forever!
They did find their hope was just; Jesus is our strength and trust!

Rise up, O Church of God

Rise up, O Church of God! Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of kings!

Rise up, O Church of God! His Kingdom did appear;
Brought in the day of brotherhood, and banned the night of fear!

Rise up, O Sons of God! The Church or you doth wait;
Her strength is equal to Her task, rise up and make Her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod;
As follwers of the Son of Man, rise up, O Church of God!
