Hymn: “Though Troubles Assail” by John Newton

Though troubles assail
and dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail
And foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide:
The promise assures us,
“The Lord will provide.”

Hymn: “Rescue the Perishing” by Frances J. Crosby


Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Hymn: “Be Still, My Soul” by Kathrina von Schlegel, trans. Jane Borthwick

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

grieved Him by a thousand falls.
