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.

Dwells in the heart of the Father above.

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.

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.

To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.

Hymn: “Make Me a Captive, Lord” by George Matheson

Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life’s alarms when by myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.
