Whiter than snow Lord, wash me just now,

Wounded and weary help me, I pray!
Power all power surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine!

Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

Hymn 618: Stand Up! Stand Up for Jesus!
STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS!
1) Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory, His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed.
2) Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day.
Ye that are His now serve Him against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger and strength to strength oppose.
3) Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you; ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armour, and watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger, be never wanting there.
4) Stand up! stand up for Jesus! the strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song.
To him that overcometh, a crown of life shall be;

Hymn 423: Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
GLORIOUS THINGS OF THEE ARE SPOKEN
1) Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken formed thee for His own abode;
On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake Thy sure repose?
With salvations' wall surrounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2) See the streams of living waters springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear and want remove;
Who can faint when such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, never fails from age to age.
3) Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering showing that the Lord is near;
Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in the Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God.
4) Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name;
Fading is the world's pleasure, all his boasting pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zions' children know.

Hymn 570: Not I, But Christ
NOT I, BUT CHRIST
Not I, but Christ, be honoured, loved, exalted;
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard;
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action;
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.
Not I, but Christ, to gently soothe in sorrow,
Not I, but Christ, to wipe the falling tear;
Not I, but Christ, to lift the weary burden,
Not I, but Christ, to hush away all fear.
Christ, only Christ! no idle words e'er falling,
Christ, only Christ; no needless bustling sound;
Christ, only Christ; no self important bearing;
Christ, only Christ; no trace of "I" be found.

Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be;
Christ, only Christ, for body, soul and spirit,
Christ, only Christ, here and eternally.

Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more;
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

the pleasure earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
that I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

leave hungers that won't pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more

Let the fire and cloudy pillar, lead me all my journey through;
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer, be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

Death of death and hells' destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.

COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING

While the hope of endless glory fills my heart with joy and love.
2) Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I've come,
And I hope by Thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home.

He to rescue me from danger interposed His precious blood.
3) O, to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind me closer still to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart - O, take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above.
