Prelude: Contemplation on "Kingsfold"

Favourite Hymns

Ernie and Lynda Cox




O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing


O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace.


Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease,

‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life and health and peace.


My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad the honours of thy name.



The Old Rugged Cross


On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame;

And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain.


Refrain


So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it some day for a crown.


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary.


To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;

Then he'll call me someday to my home far away,

Where his glory forever I'll share.



When I Survey The Wondrous Cross


When I survey the wondrous cross 

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.


See from his head, his hands, his feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down,

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?


Were the whole realm of nature mine, 

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine, 

Demands my soul, my life, my all. 



“THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN”

Rev. Steve Zink


In fact, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21) 





Special Music: "The Healer"

Hymn: “Breathe On Me, Breath of God”

Sue Sparks


Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with life anew,

That I may love what thou dost love, and do what thou wouldst do.


Breathe on me, Breath of God, until my heart is pure,

Until my will is one with thine, to do and to endure.


Breathe on me, Breath of God, till I am wholly thine,

until this earthly part of me glows with thy fire divine.


Breathe on me, Breath of God, so shall I never die,

But live with thee the perfect life of thine eternity.
