Hymn: “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” by Frederick W. Faber
Was there ever kindest shepherd,
Half so gentle, half so sweet
As the Savior 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.

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.

Hymn: “To God Be the Glory” by Fanny Crosby
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.

Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be.

Hymn: “Count Your Blessings” by Johnson Oatman, Jr.
When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
