Hymn 83

O Worship the King

O worship the King, all glorious above

O gratefully sing His wonderful love;

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,

Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end!

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Hymn 510If You But Trust in God to Guide

You

Verse 1 and 4: Congregation

If you but trust in God to guide youAnd place your confidence in Him,

You’ll find Him always there beside you,To give you hope and strength within.

For those who trust God’s changeless loveBuild on the rock that will not move.

Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,Offer your service faithfully,

And trust His word; though undeserving,You’ll find His promise true to be.

God never will forsake in needThe soul that trusts in Him indeed.

Hymn 158Were You There?

Verse 1 and 2: ChorusVerse 3 and 4: Congregation

Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Were you there when the sun refused to shine?Were you there when the sun refused to shine?O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

The WordActs 4: 31-33

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together

was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word

of God with boldness.

32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul;

neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but

they had all things in common.

33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon

them all.

Hymn 165

Look, You Saints, the Sight is Glorious

Look, you saints, the sight is glorious,See the Man of sorrows now;From the fight returned victorious,Every knee to Him shall bow.Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crowns become the victor’s brow.Crowns become the victor’s brow.

Crown the Savior! angels crown Him!Rich the trophies Jesus brings;On the seat of power enthrone HimWhile the vault of heaven rings.Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crown the Savior, King of Kings.Crown the Savior, King of Kings.

Sinners in derision crowned Him,Mocking thus the Savior’s claim;Saints and angels crowd around Him,Own His title, praise His name.Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Spread abroad the victor’s fame!Spread abroad the victor’s fame!

Hark! those bursts of acclamation!Hark! those loud triumphant chords!Jesus takes the highest station;Oh, what joy the sight affords!Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!King of kings and Lord of lords!King of kings and Lord of lords!
