3. I Peter 1:3-12
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

4. 10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.

6. We’ll Understand It Better By and By
Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessèd Promised Land;
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
and we’ll follow till we die,
We will understand it better by and by.
By and by, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we’ve overcome,

7. Oft our cherished plans have failed, Disappointments have prevailed
And we’ve wandered in the darkness,
heavy hearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
By and by, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we’ve overcome,

8. God Will Make a Way God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me,
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way

9. Please Take This Opportunity
To Welcome and
Encourage Each Other

10. My Hope is in the Lord My hope is in the Lord Who gave Himself for me
And paid the price of all my sin at Calvary
For me, He died, For me, He lives
And everlasting life and light He freely gives

11. Before the Father’s throne He shows His wounded hands
And now for me He stands
Before the Father’s throne
He shows His wounded hands
and names me as His own
For me, He died, For me, He lives
And everlasting life and light He freely gives

12. His grace has planned it all Tis mine but to believe
And recognize His work of love and Christ receive
For me, He died, For me, He lives
And everlasting life and light He freely gives

13. O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Though pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God.

14. A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt.
Lord, give me such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.

15. He Is Able He is able, more than able
To accomplish what concerns me today
He is able more than able
To handle anything that comes my way
To do much more than I could ever dream
To make me what He wants me to be

16. Be Still My Soul Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

17. Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.

18. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

23. When We See Christ Oft times the day seems long,
our trials hard to bear
We’re tempted to complain to murmur and despair
But Christ will soon appear to catch His bride away
All tears forever over in God’s eternal day
It will be worth it all When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrow will erase so bravely run the race
Till we see Christ

24. Life’s day will soon be o’er all storms forever past
We’ll cross the great divide To glory safe at last
We’ll share the joys of heav’n
A harp a home a crown
The tempter will be banished
We’ll lay our burden down
It will be worth it all When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ
One glimps of His dear face
All sorrow will erase so bravely run the race
Till we see Christ
