3. O For a Closer Walk With God
Ambassador Hymnal #466

4. O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav’nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

5. Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.

6. The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.

7. So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

8. Whiter Than Snow
Ambassador Hymnal #425

9. Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want Thee forever to live in my soul,
Break down ev’ry idol, cast out ev’ry foe;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

10. Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Refrain:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

11. Lord Jesus, look down from Thy throne in the skies,
And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up myself, and whatever I know—
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

12. Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Refrain:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

13. Lord Jesus, Thou knowest how helpless my state;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee, Thou ­never said No—
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

14. Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Refrain:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

15. Ecclesiastes 11:7 – 12:14

16. 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;…

17. 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.

21. A Mighty Fortress
Ambassador Hymnal #141

22. A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.

23. For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

24. Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.

25. Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

26. And tho’ this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.

27. The prince of darkness grim—
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

28. That word above all earthly pow’rs—
No thanks to them abideth:
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thro’ Him who with us sideth.

29. Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

49. Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Ambassador Hymnal #450

50. Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us;
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

51. We are Thine; do Thou befriend us,
Be the Guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear the children when they pray.

52. Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and pow’r to free:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee.

53. Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.

54. 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,

55. 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.

56. Amen
Amen!

57. Have a
wonderful day!
