Scripture: Acts 17:28

1. 1. 1. 
         
         1. 1. 
               1. Living for Jesus, a life that is true,
                  Striving to please Him in all that I do;
                  Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
                  This is the pathway of blessing for me.
                  • Refrain:
                    O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
                    For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me;
                    I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne;
                    My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.
               2. Living for Jesus Who died in my place,
                  Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace;
                  Such love constrains me to answer His call,
                  Follow His leading and give Him my all.
               3. Living for Jesus, wherever I am,
                  Doing each duty in His holy Name;
                  Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
                  Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
               4. Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
                  My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
                  Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
                  Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

            1. O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end;
               Be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend;
               I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side,
               Nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my Guide.
            2. Oh, let me hear Thee speaking in accents clear and still,
               I dare not trust my judgment: Thy way shall be my will;
               Oh, speak to reassure me, to hasten or control;
               Oh, speak, and help me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul.
            3. O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee
               That where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be;
               And Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end—
               Oh, give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend.
            4. Oh, let me see Thy footprints, and in them plant mine own;
               My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone;
               Oh, guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end;
               And then in Heav’n receive me, my Savior and my Friend.

      1. 
         
         
         1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
            Let me hide myself in Thee;
            Let the water and the blood,
            From Thy wounded side which flowed,
            Be of sin the double cure,
            Save from wrath and make me pure.
         2. Not the labor of my hands
            Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
            Could my zeal no respite know,
            Could my tears forever flow,
            All for sin could not atone;
            Thou must save, and Thou alone.
         3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
            Simply to Thy cross I cling;
            Naked, come to Thee for dress;
            Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
            Foul, I to the fountain fly;
            Wash me, Savior, or I die.
         4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
            When my eyes shall close in death,
            When I rise to worlds unknown,
            And behold Thee on Thy throne,
            Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
            
            
            Let me hide myself in Thee.

                  Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of Heav’n to earth come down; Fix in us thy humble dwelling; All thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart.
                  Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.
                  Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return and never, Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.
                  Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till in Heav’n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

                  Throw your soul’s fresh, glowing ardor
                  Into the battle for truth.
                  Jesus has set the example,
                  Dauntless was He, young and brave;
                  Give Him your loyal devotion;

                  He gave Himself for your ransom,
                  Gave up His glory above.
                  Laid down His life without murmur,

1. 1. 1. 
         
      2. 1. Years I spent in vanity and pride,
            Caring not my Lord was crucified,
            Knowing not it was for me He died
            On Calvary.
            • Refrain:
              Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
              Pardon there was multiplied to me;
              There my burdened soul found liberty
              At Calvary.
         2. By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
            Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
            Till my guilty soul imploring turned
            To Calvary.
         3. Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
            Now I gladly own Him as my King,
            Now my raptured soul can only sing
            Of Calvary!

            Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
            Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
            At Calvary!

         All our sins and griefs to bear!
         What a privilege to carry
         Everything to God in prayer!
         Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
         Oh, what needless pain we bear,
         All because we do not carry
         Everything to God in prayer!
      3. Have we trials and temptations?
         Is there trouble anywhere?
         We should never be discouraged—
         Take it to the Lord in prayer.
         Can we find a friend so faithful,
         Who will all our sorrows share?
         Jesus knows our every weakness;
         Take it to the Lord in prayer.
      4. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
         Cumbered with a load of care?
         Precious Savior, still our refuge—
         Take it to the Lord in prayer.
         Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
         Take it to the Lord in prayer!
         In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
         Thou wilt find a solace there.
      5. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
         Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
         May we ever, Lord, be bringing
         All to Thee in earnest prayer.
         Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
         There will be no need for prayer—
         Rapture, praise, and endless worship
         Will be our sweet portion there.

      Watching and waiting, looking above,

   1. I have a dear Savior, the best Friend I know,
      While daily my life-race I run,
      I’ll try to help others as onward I go,
      And into His keeping bring one.
      
      • Refrain:
        Each soul that we save is a star in our crown,
        When heaven’s glad morning’s begun;
        If I cannot do more ere life’s sun goeth down
        I will bring to the Savior just one.
   2. So many are walking in pathways of sin,
      Who gladly the evil would shun
      If someone would help them the vict’ry to win;
      I’ll try to the Christ to bring one.
   3. So many grow weary and fall in the fight,
      Their journey to heav’n just begun;
      Perhaps they are watching my dim little light—
      I’ll try in His name to bring one.
   4. I’ll stand in the presence of Jesus my King
      Some day when my work is all done:
      With all of the ransomed I’ll joyfully sing,
      If unto my Lord I bring one.
