    Red Hymnal #67                                                                                       

    Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine

    1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!,

    O what a foretaste of glory divine!

    Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

     

    Refrain:          This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.

    This is my story, this is my song,

    Praising my Savior all the day long.

     

    1. Perfect submission, perfect delight,

    Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

    Angels descending bring from above

    Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.                      Repeat Refrain

     

    1. Perfect submission, all is at rest,

    I and my Savior am happy and blest;

    Watching and waiting, loving above,

    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.           Repeat Refrain

    Words: Fanny J. Crosby. Music: Phoebe P. Knapp

    Scripture Reading:                                                                      Psalm 6

    O Lord, Deliver My Life

    1 O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
    nor discipline me in your wrath.

    2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
    heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

    3 My soul also is greatly troubled.
    But you, O Lord—how long?

    4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
    save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

    5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;
    in Sheol who will give you praise?

    6 I am weary with my moaning;
    every night I flood my bed with tears;
    I drench my couch with my weeping.

    7 My eye wastes away because of grief;
    it grows weak because of all my foes.

    8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
    for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

    9 The Lord has heard my plea;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.

    10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
    they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

     

    Scripture Reading:                                                                  Psalm 130

    My Soul Waits for the Lord

    1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

    2 O Lord, hear my voice!
    Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

    3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could stand?

    4 But with you there is forgiveness,
    that you may be feared.

    5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;

    6 My soul waits for the Lord
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

    7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.

    8 And he will redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

     

    Prayer of Invocation

     

    Declaring What We Believe:

    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.

    ‘Til He returns or calls me home

    Here in the power of Christ I stand.

    We Respond to God’s Presence

     

    O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

    O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!

    Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!

    Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love –

    Leading onward, leading homeward, to Thy glorious rest above!

     

    O the deep, deep love of Jesus – Spread His praise from shore to shore!

    How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!

    How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;

    How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!

     

    O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!

    ‘Tis an ocean full of blessing, ‘tis a haven giving rest!

    O the deep, deep love of Jesus – ‘tis a heaven of heavens to me;

    And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!

    Words: Samuel Trevor Francis. Music: EBENEZER, Thomas J. Williams

     

     

    Spirit of Heaven

    1. Spirit of Heaven, flood over me,

    forming Christ in all that I do.

    Turn every sinful desire in me

    into holy passion for You.

     

    Refrain:     O, Spirit of God, come down; Let mercy and grace abound.

    My passionate prayer shall be: Christ in me.

     

    1. Spirit of beauty and holiness,

    come refine with fire from above,

    Till I am cast in Your righteousness

    and I love the things that you love.                (Refrain)

     

    1. Breathe Your forgiveness when darkness falls

    and my heart is heavy with sin.

    Fill me with faith for the higher cause

    of the ceaseless praise of the King.                (Refrain)

  • His Mercy Is More

    1. What love could remember no wrongs we have done;

    Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.

    Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    Refrain:     Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

    Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    1. What patience would wait as we constantly roam;

    What Father, so tender, is calling us home.

    He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    Refrain:     Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

    Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    1. What riches of kindness He lavished on us;

    His blood was the payment, His life was the cost.

    We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

     

    Refrain:     Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

    Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

    Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

    (Repeat Refrain)

    Sermon Hymn:                                                                                         

    Psalm 119:81-88 (Kaph)

    O LORD, my delight, my delight is in your law.

    81 My soul languishes for your salvation; *

    I hope in your word.

    82 My eyes fail with watching for your promises; *

    I ask, “When will you comfort me?”

    O LORD, my delight, my delight is in your law.

     

    83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, *

    yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

    84 How long must your servant endure? *

    When will you judge those who persecute me?

    O LORD, my delight, my delight is in your law.

     

    85 The arrogant have dug pitfalls for me; *

    they flout your law.

    86 All your commandments are enduring; *

    I am persecuted without cause; help me.

    O LORD, my delight, my delight is in your law.

     

    87 They have almost made an end of me on earth; *

    but I have not forsaken your precepts.

    88 In your steadfast love spare my life, *

    so that I may keep the decrees of your mouth.

    O LORD, my delight, my delight is in your law.

    I Will Wait for You (Psalm 130)

    1. Out of the depths I cry to You;

    In darkest places I will call.

    Incline Your ear to me anew,

    and hear my cry for mercy, Lord.

     

    1. Were You to count my sinful ways;

    how could I come before Your throne?

    Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze;

    I stand redeemed by grace alone.

     

    Refrain:     I will wait for You; I will wait for You;

    on Your word I will rely.

    I will wait for you, surely wait for You;

    till my soul is satisfied.

     

    1. So put Your hope in God alone:

    take courage in His power to save.

    Completely and forever won

    by Christ’s emerging from the grave.

     

    Refrain:     I will wait for You; I will wait for You;

    on Your word I will rely.

    I will wait for you, surely wait for You;

    till my soul is satisfied.

     

    1. Now He has come to make a way,

    and God Himself has paid the price,

    that all who trust in Him today

    find healing in His sacrifice.

     

    Refrain:     I will wait for You; I will wait for You;

    through the storm and through the night.

    I will wait for you, surely wait for You;

    for Your love is my delight.
