MP 162 From heaven you came

1. From heaven You came, helpless babe,
   entered our world, Your glory veiled,
   not to be served but to serve,
   and give Your life that we might live.
   

   This is our God, the Servant King,
   He calls us now to follow Him,
   to bring our lives as a daily offering
   of worship to the Servant King.
   

2. There in the garden of tears
   my heavy load He chose to bear;
   His heart with sorrow was torn,
   ‘Yet not my will but yours,’ He said.
   

   This is our God, the Servant King,
   He calls us now to follow Him,
   to bring our lives as a daily offering
   of worship to the Servant King.
   

3. Come see His hands and His feet,
   the scars that speak of sacrifice,
   hands that flung stars into space
   to cruel nails surrendered.
   

   This is our God, the Servant King,
   He calls us now to follow Him,
   to bring our lives as a daily offering
   of worship to the Servant King.
   

4. So let us learn how to serve
   and in our lives enthrone Him,
   each other’s needs to prefer,
   for it is Christ we’re serving.
   

   This is our God, the Servant King,
   He calls us now to follow Him,
   to bring our lives as a daily offering
   of worship to the Servant King.

MP 200 Great is thy faithfulness

1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
   there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
   Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not,
   as Thou hast been Thou for ever wilt be.
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning
   new mercies I see;
   all I have needed
   Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
   

2. Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
   sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
   join with all nature in manifold witness
   to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning
   new mercies I see;
   all I have needed
   Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
   

3. Pardon for sin, and a peace that endureth,
   Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
   strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
   blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning
   new mercies I see;
   all I have needed
   Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
