3. How Great Thou Art
Ambassador Hymnal #510

4. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed;

5. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

6. When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

7. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

8. But when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin;

9. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

10. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, “My God, how great thou art!”

11. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

12. Rock of Ages
Ambassador Hymnal #398

13. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and pow’r.

14. Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

15. Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

16. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

17. Mark 12:1-12

18. 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;…

19. 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.
