Main Subject: God's Love
Scripture: Romans 8:39


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!

Upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest;


Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace;
Another year of gladness
In the shining of Thy face;
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise;
Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days;


Another year of service,
Of witness for Thy love;
Another year of training
For holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for Thee.

Main Subject: Christmas
Scripture: Luke 2:8-9







Far, far away on Judea's plains,
Shepherds of old
Heard the joyous strains:
Glory to God, Glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest:
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men;
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men!

Sweet are these strains
Of redeeming love,
Message of mercy from heaven above:
Glory to God, Glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest:
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men;
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men!

Lord, with the angels
We too would rejoice,
Help us to sing with
The heart and voice:
Glory to God, Glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest:
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men;
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men!

Hasten the time when,
From every clime,
Men shall unite
In the strains sublime:
Glory to God, Glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest:
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men;
Peace on earth,
Good-will to men!

Scripture: Revelation 21:2



  1. We read of a place that’s called heaven,
    It’s made for the pure and the free;
    These truths in God’s Word He hath given,
    How beautiful heaven must be.
    • Refrain:
      How beautiful heaven must be,
      Sweet home of the happy and free;
      Fair haven of rest for the weary,
      How beautiful heaven must be.

    No wishing for elsewhere to be;
    God’s light is forever there shining,
    How beautiful heaven must be.
  3. Pure waters of life there are flowing,
    And all who will drink may be free;
    Rare jewels of splendor are glowing,
    How beautiful heaven must be.
  4. The angels so sweetly are singing,
    Up there by the beautiful sea;
    Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing,
    How beautiful heaven must be.

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Father's hand




Words: George Matheson
Music: Albert L. Peace
Copyright: Public Domain
Main Subject: God's Love
Scripture: Romans 5:8








O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.


O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.


O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.


O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Nearer, My God to Thee

Dream of Jacob


Words: Sarah Flower Adams
Music: Lowell Mason
Tune: Bethany
Copyright: Public Domain
Main Subject: God's Comfort
Scripture: Gen. 28:11-19


Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee! 
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!


Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone; 
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; 
All that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, 
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky, 
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
