Hymn 567: Have Thine Own Way, Lord

HAVE THINE OWN WAY, LORD


1) Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Thou art the potter; I am the clay.

Mold me and make me after Thy will,

While I am waiting, yielded and still.


2) Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Search me and try me, Master today!

Whiter than snow Lord, wash me just now,

As in Thy presence humbly I bow.


3) Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Wounded and weary help me, I pray!

Power all power surely is Thine!

Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine!


4) Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Hold o'er my being absolute sway!

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;

He with the King of glory shall reign eternally.

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 every need supplying,

Not I, but Christ, my strength and health to be;

Christ, only Christ, for body, soul and spirit,

Christ, only Christ, here and eternally.

Hymn 518: Standing on the Promises

STANDING ON THE PROMISES



1) Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Thru eternal ages let His praises ring;

Glory in the highest I will shout and sing

Standing on the promises of God.


Refrain:


Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Saviour;

Standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God.



2) Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living word of God, I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.


Refrain


3) Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by loves' strong cord,

Overcoming daily with His Spirit's sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

Hymn 493: Fill My Cup, Lord

FILL MY CUP, LORD



1) Like the woman at the well I was seeking

for things that could not satisfy;

And then I heard my Saviour speaking:

"Draw from My well that never shall run dry."


Refrain:


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!



2) There are millions in this world who are craving

the pleasure earthly things afford;

But none can match the wondrous treasure

that I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.


Refrain


3) So, my children, if the things this world gave you

leave hungers that won't pass away,

My blessed Lord will come and save you,

if you kneel to Him and humbly pray:


Refrain.
