Favourite Hymns

Ernie and Lynda Cox




O PRAISE YE THE LORD


O praise ye the Lord! praise Him in the height;

Rejoice in His Word, ye angels of light;

Ye heavens, adore Him by Whom ye were made,

And worship before Him in brightness arrayed.


O praise ye the Lord! Praise Him upon earth,

In tuneful accord, ye sons of new birth;

Praise Him Who hath brought you His grace from above,

Praise Him Who hath taught you to sing of His love.


O praise ye the Lord! Thanksgiving and song

To Him be outpoured all ages along!

For love in creation, for Heaven restored,

For grace of salvation, O praise ye the Lord!



LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS


What a fellowship, what a joy divine, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms; 

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Refrain:

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; 

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.


O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms; 

O how bright the path grows from day to day, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms. 


What have I to dread, what have I to fear, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms? 

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, 

Leaning on the everlasting arms. 



BE STILL MY SOUL


Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side;

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

Leave to your God to order and provide;

In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly Friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.


Be still, my soul: your God will undertake

To guide the future as he has the past.

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;

All now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.


Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on

When we shall be forever with the Lord,

When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

 


“THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST”

Rev. Steve Zink 


 “Let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six” Rev 13:18




Special Music: “Eternal Life”

Terri-Ann Wint with Ernie Cox 



Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith. 

Where there is despair, hope.  

Where there is darkness, light. 

Where there is sadness, joy! 


O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek,

To be consoled as to console, 

To be understood as to understand. 

To be loved as to love. 

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning we are pardoned.

It is in dying that we are born to eternal life!



Hymn: “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”

Sue Sparks


What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!


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!


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 your friends despise, forsake you? take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
