COME, YE SINNERS

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

Weak and wounded, sick and sore

Jesus ready stands to save you, 

Full of mercy, love and pow’r 

Come ye thirsty, come, and welcome, 

God’s free bounty glorify

True belief and true repentance

Every grace that brings you nigh

I will arise and go to Jesus

He will embrace me and call me His own

In the arms of my dear Savior 

My restless soul will find a home

Come, ye weary, heavy laden

Come, ye burdened, and alone 

Look, a river, living water

Flowing out of rock and stone

I will arise and go to Jesus

He will embrace me and call me His own

In the arms of my dear Savior 

My restless soul will find a home

FAITHFUL GOD

Faithful God, your loving heart is always kind

Even when we run away and have no one else

You find us where we are 

You speak peace, to our fears and unbelief

When we are afraid, the faithful hands that made us

Remind us who we are  

With your Word on our hearts and your Love on our lips

Give us courage, God, give us courage 

To follow your movement wherever it is leading

Spirit lead us, Spirit lead us

Hosanna, (hosanna), save us God

Hosanna, (hosanna), save us God

JESUS, ROOT US IN YOUR LOVE

Jesus, lead us into peace

Lead us into peace

Lead us into peace

Jesus, root us in your love

We want to see your kingdom come 

Help us to follow you

Jesus, teach us to speak peace

and move our hearts and feet,

Give us words to speak

Jesus, you make all things new

Come, fix our eyes on you 

And give us your work to do 

Jesus, lead us into peace

Lead us into peace

Lead us into peace

BRING YOUR PEACE

Bring your peace, when I am lost

When I’m lost, Lord, bring your peace

Bring your peace, when I’m alone

When I’m alone, Lord, bring your peace

And make us instruments to sing your peace

And give us love for each other

Into a world that longs to hear

Send us, Lord, to bring your peace

Bring your peace when we’re afraid

When we’re afraid, Lord, bring your peace

Bring your peace into the storm

Into the storm, Lord, bring your peace

And make us instruments

To sing your peace

And give us love for each other

Into a world that longs to hear

Send us, Lord, to bring your peace

SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY

Surely goodness and mercy

Surely goodness and mercy

Surely goodness and mercy

Shall follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

For ever

NOW THE DAY IS OVER

Now the day is over,
night is drawing nigh;
shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.

Jesus, give the weary
calm and sweet repose;
with your tend'rest blessing
may our eyelids close.

Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
watching late in pain;
Give courage to your laborers

That we may rise again

When the morning wakens,
then may we arise
Sure and strong and ready
in your holy eyes.

Lyrics: S. Baring-Gould, 1865, alt.

SEEDS

These seeds you have sown,

In our hearts and in our bones,

Cover them with your love.

Use our hands, use our feet,

To show your love and your peace,

And cover us,

Cover us,

Cover us with your love.

I WAIT FOR THE LORD

I wait for the LORD

more than watchmen wait for the morning,
watchmen wait for the morning,

I wait for the LORD

Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;

LORD, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive to my cry 

for mercy.

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
LORD, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can,

Serve you,

with reverence, serve you.

I wait for the LORD, 

my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

I wait for the LORD

more than watchmen wait for the morning,
watchmen wait for the morning,

I wait for the LORD

GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS

Great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness in the morning

Your love never ceases, great is your faithfulness

Behind the curtain of night, your mercy’s waiting, your mercy’s waiting

With the sun on the rise, your love’s creating, your love’s creating

Like the rain of the  spring, your mercy’s falling, your mercy’s falling

When the mockingbirds sing, your love is calling, your love is calling

Great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness in the morning

Your love never ceases, great is your faithfulness

Great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness in the morning

Your love never ceases, great is your faithfulness

3:22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; 

3:23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness in the morning

Your love never ceases, great is your faithfulness 

Great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness in the morning

Your love never ceases, great is your faithfulness

THIS IS THE DAY

This is the day that the LORD has made

I will rejoice and be glad

Sorrows may come with fire and rain

But this is the day that the LORD has made

And this is the song that we’ll make

This is the hour that the LORD has made

I lift my head and my hands

We labor in dust, but never in vain

This is the hour that the LORD has made

And this is the song that we’ll make

This is the night that the LORD has made

I will find rest and give thanks

With wine on our lips, at a table we praise

This is the night that the LORD has made

And this is the song that we’ll make

PSALM 27 (ONE THING I ASK)

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask

To gaze upon and learn of all your beauty, Lord, to gaze upon you

To gaze upon and learn of all your beauty, Lord, to gaze upon you

Do not hide your face from me, or cut me from the land.

If you leave me to my own, who will lend their hand?

If my enemies surround me, if my heart my should yield,

If my mother and my father leave, you will be my shield.

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask

I believe that I will see the goodness of God

I believe that I will see the goodness of God

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask

This one thing I ask, to dwell in the house of God, one thing I ask
