O What Precious Balm and Healing Ambassador Hymnal #82

O what precious balm and healing, Jesus, in Thy wounds I find! Ev’ry hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind; Should some evil thought rush in, And provoke my soul to sin, Thoughts of Thy deep wounds, from sinning Keep me in its first beginning.

Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Lo! I think upon Thy passion, And the breach is soon made good: Or should Satan press me hard, Thinking I am off my guard, Christ, I say, for me was wounded, And the tempter flees confounded.

If the world my heart entices On the broad and easy road, And both by its gay devices Silence ev’ry thought of God, When the heavy load I see Which, dear Lord, was laid on Thee, I can still each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion.

Yes, whate’er may pain or grieve me, Thy dear wounds can make me whole; When my heart sinks, they revive me, Life pours in upon my soul: May Thy comfort render sweet Ev’ry bitter cup I meet; Thou, who by Thy death and passion Hast procured my soul’s salvation.

Isaiah 53:1-7 Mark 15:16-32

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.

There is a Fountain Filled with Blood Ambassador Hymnal #412

There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains: Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; Lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day. And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away; Wash all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow’r, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more: Be saved to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more; Be saved to sin no more.

E’er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; And shall be till I die.

When this poor lisping, stamm’ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save: I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save, I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save; I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.

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!

Have a wonderful day!
