Hymn 170: Fairest Lord Jesus Crusader's Hymn

(In the 11am service, Praisemakers, an interactive music program for ages 4-7, may go to the Catacombs.)

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.

Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight,
and all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels heav’n can boast.

Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
now and for evermore be thine.

Offertory: He That Raised Up Jesus (11am) Carlton Russell

Chamber Choir

He that raised up Jesus from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in us. Wherefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope. Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fullness of joy, and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore. Amen.

Hymn 498: Jesus What a Friend for Sinners! Hyfrydol

Text: J. Wilbur Chapman (1910)

Jesus! what a Friend for sinners! Jesus! lover of my soul;
friends may fail me, foes assail me, he, my Savior, makes me whole.

(Refrain)
Hallelujah! what a Savior! Hallelujah, what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, he is with me to the end.

Jesus! what a strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in him;
tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, he, my strength, my vict’ry wins. (Refrain)

Jesus! what a help in sorrow! While the billows o’er me roll,
even when my heart is breaking, he, my comfort, helps my soul. (Refrain)

Jesus! what a guide and keeper! While the tempest still is high,
storms about me, night o’ertakes me, he, my pilot, hears my cry. (Refrain)

Jesus! I do now receive him, more than all in him I find;
he hath granted me forgiveness, I am his, and he is mine. (Refrain)

Benediction
