Love Divine, All Love Excelling Ambassador Hymnal #226

Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav’n to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev’ry trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev’ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav’n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 Almighty God, our Maker and Redeemer, we poor sinners confess to You that we are by nature sinful and unclean, and that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed.

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 Therefore we flee for refuge to Your infinite mercy and ask You for Christ’s sake, grant us forgiveness of all our sins, and by Your Holy Spirit increase in us true knowledge of You and of Your will and true obedience to Your Word,

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 To the end that by Your grace we may come to eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Redeemed, Restored, Forgiven Ambassador Hymnal #402

Redeemed, restored, forgiven Through Jesus’ precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven, O praise our pard’ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures, Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev’nfold treasures, Enrich and sanctify!

Once on the dreary mountain We wander’d far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side; But Jesus sought and found us, And wash’d our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye.

Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recover’d soul; Ah, who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days.

Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear; And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere; Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Ambassador Hymnal #526

O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free!

Refrain: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.

Thru death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there; Over us sin no more hath dominion— For more than conq’rors we are!

Refrain: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.

His word shall not fail you—He promised; Believe Him, and all will be well: Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!

Refrain: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me Ambassador Hymnal #469

All the way my Savior leads me, What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who thro’ life has been my Guide?

Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell! For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well; For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the living bread.

Though my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see; Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me, O the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father’s house above.

When my spirit, clothed, immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day, This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way; This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.

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 Amen AmenAmen!

Have a FANTASTIC day!!!
