Hymn: “I Am Waiting for the Dawning” by S. Trevor Francis
I am waiting for the dawning
Of that bright and glorious day,
When the darksome night of sorrow
Shall have vanished far away;
When forever with the Saviour,
Far beyond this vale of tears,
I shall swell the hymn of worship
Thru the everlasting years.

Hymn: “Was There Ever Kindest Shepherd” by Frederick W. Faber
Was there ever kindest shepherd
Half so gentle, half so sweet,
As the Saviour who would have us
Come and gather round His feet?
It is God; His love looks mighty,
But is mightier than it seems:
'Tis our Father, and His kindness
Goes out far beyond our dreams.

Hymn: “Not What I Am, O Lord, but What Thou Art” by Horatius Bonar
Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art,
that, that alone can be my soul’s true rest;
Thy love, not mine, bids fear and doubt depart,
and stills the tempest of my throbbing breast.

Hymn: “Wide, Wide as the Ocean” by Charles Austin Miles
Wide, wide as the ocean,
high as the heavens above;
deep, deep as the deepest sea
is my Saviour’s love.
I, though so unworthy,
still am a child of his care,
for his word teaches me
that his love reaches me
ev'rywhere.

Hymn: “Come, Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love”
Come, let us sing of a wonderful love,
Tender and true, tender and true,
Out of the heart of the Father above,
Streaming to me and to you:
Wonderful love, wonderful love,
Dwells in the heart of the Father above.

God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

Hymn: “There's a Wideness in God's Mercy” by Frederick W. Faber
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.

Poem: “Love Constraining to Obedience” by William Cowper
No strength of nature can suffice
To serve the Lord aright:
And what she has she misapplies,
For want of clearer light.

Hymn: “God Is Still on the Throne” by Kittie Suffield
Have you started for glory and Heaven?
Have you left this old world far behind?
In your heart is the Comforter dwelling?
Can you say, “Praise the Lord, He is mine”?
Have the ones that once walked on the highway
Gone back, and you seem all alone?
Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies;
God is still on the throne.
