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;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev’ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
Thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Hymn: “Depth of Mercy” by Charles Wesley

Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
grieved Him by a thousand falls.

Hymn: “Good Night” by Leonhard Strum

I journey forth rejoicing
From this dark vale of tears;
To heav’nly joy and freedom,
From earthly bonds and fears;
Where Christ, our Lord, shall gather
All his redeemed again,
His kingdom to inherit,
Good night, till then!

Hymn: “Love Lifted Me” by James Rowe

I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me—
Now safe am I.

Hymn: “God Is Working His Purpose Out” by Arthur C. Ainger

God is working this purpose out
As year succeeds to year;
God is working this purpose out,
And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.

Hymn:“‘Holy, Holy,’ Is What the Angels Sing“ by Johnson Oatman Jr.

There is singing up in heaven
Such as we have never known,
Where the angels sing the praises
Of the Lamb upon the throne,
Their sweet harps are ever tuneful,
And their voices always clear,
O that we might be more like them
While we serve the Master here!

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.

Hymn: “They Shall Call His Name Immanuel” by Charles Wesley

Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise, in songs divine,
The incarnate Deity;
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
