  2. Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

    Our Father, who art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy name;
    thy kingdom come;
    thy will be done;
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread.
    And forgive us our trespasses,
    as we forgive those who trespass against us.
    And lead us not into temptation;
    but deliver us from evil.
    For thine is the kingdom,
    the power, and the glory
    for ever and ever.
    Amen.

  3. CH4 124 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

    1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
      O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
      Come, all who hear; into his presence draw near,
      join me in glad adoration.

    2. Praise to the Lord, who in all things is wondrously reigning;
      shields you from harm and is gently yet firmly sustaining!
      Have you not seen how your heart’s wishes have been
      granted by God’s wise ordaining?

    3. Praise to the Lord, who with blessing and power will defend you;
      surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
      Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
      God will forever befriend you.

    4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
      All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.
      Let the Amen sound from God’s people again;
      gladly forever adore him.

  6. In Christ Alone

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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;
      till He returns or calls me home,
      here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!

  8. CH4 96 You Are Before Me, Lord

    tune: Highland Cathedral

    1. You are before me, Lord, You are behind.
      And over me You have spread out Your hand;
      Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
      Too high to grasp, too great to understand.

    2. Then from Your Spirit where, God, shall I go;
      And from Your presence where, God, shall I fly?
      If I ascend to heaven You are there,
      and still are with me if in hell I lie.

    3. If I should take my flight into the dawn,
      If I should dwell on ocean's farthest shore,
      Your mighty hand will rest upon me still,
      And Your right hand will guard me evermore.

    4. If I should say, "Let darkness cover me,
      And I shall hide within the veil of night,"
      Surely the darkness is not dark to You;
      The night is as the day, the darkness light.

    5. Search me, O God, search me and know my heart;
      Try me, O God, my mind and spirit try;
      Keep me from any path that gives You pain,
      And lead me in the everlasting way.

  11. CH4 268 O God of Bethel!

    1. O God of Bethel, by whose hand
      thy people still are fed,
      who through this weary pilgrimage
      hast all our fathers led;

    2. Our vows, our prayers, we now present
      before thy throne of grace;
      God of our fathers, be the God
      of their succeeding race.

    3. Through each perplexing path of life
      our wandering footsteps guide;
      give us each day our daily bread,
      and raiment fit provide.

    4. O spread thy covering wings around
      till all our wanderings cease,
      and at our Father's loved abode
      our souls arrive in peace.

    5. Such blessings from thy gracious hand
      our humble prayers implore;
      and thou shalt be our chosen God,
      and portion evermore.
