For the Beauty Ambassador Hymnal #182

For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies: Christ, our Lord, to You we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

For the wonder of each hour Of the day and of the night. Hill and vale and tree and flow’r, Sun and moon and stars of light: Christ, our Lord, to You we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind’s delight, For the mystic harmony Linking sense to sound and sight: Christ, our Lord, to You we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

For the joy of human love. Brother, sister, parent, child Friends on earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild: Christ, our Lord, to You we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

For Yourself, best gift divine To the world so freely giv’n; Agent of God’s grand design, Peace on earth and joy in heav’n: Christ, our Lord, to You we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

Romans 8:1-15

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;…

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal …He ascended into heaven; And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From where He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting, Amen.

We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gifts may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, oh Lord, from Thee. Amen.

Tell Me the Story Ambassador Hymnal #532

Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev’ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard! Tell how the angels, in chorus, Sang as they welcomed His birth, “Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth!”

Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev’ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard!

Fasting alone in the desert! Tell of the days that are past— How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore— He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor.

Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev’ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard!

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how He liveth again! Love, in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see: Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me!

Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev’ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard!

Take My Life Ambassador Hymnal #453

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move With the impulse of Thy love: Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only for my King; Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold; Take my intellect, and use Ev’ry pow’r as Thou dost choose.

Take my will and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee.

The 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,

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.

Amen Amen AmenAmen!

Have a blessed day!
