Hymn: “There Is a Fountain” by William Cowper
There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

Where rivers of pleasure I see.

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Hymn: “Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven” by Henry Francis Lyte
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring!
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me His praise should sing?
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the everlasting King!

Hymn: “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say” by Horatius Bonar
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.

And I no more as now shall sing;
But oh, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King!

Hymn: “I Love to Tell the Story” by Katharine Hankey
I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story
Because I know ‘tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else could do.

Hymn: “O How the Grace of God Amazes Me” by Emmanuel T. Sibomana
O how the grace of God amazes me!
It loosed me from my bonds and set me free!
What made it happen so?
His own will, this much I know,
Set me, as now I show, at liberty.
