Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross Ambassador Hymnal #71

Jesus, keep me near the Cross, There a precious fountain Free to all—a healing stream, Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Refrain: In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

Near the Cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the bright and morning star Shed its beams around me.

In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Refrain: In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

Near the Cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadow o’er me.

In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Refrain: In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

Near the Cross I’ll watch and wait, Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river.

In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Refrain: In the Cross, in the Cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

1 Peter 4:1-11

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;…

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal …He ascended into heaven; And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From where He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting, Amen.

We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gifts may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, oh Lord, from Thee. Amen.

Living for Jesus Ambassador Hymnal #506

Living for Jesus a life that is true, Striving to please Him in all that I do, Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free, This is the pathway of blessing for me.

For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; Refrain: O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee; For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus who died in my place, Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace, Such love constrains me to answer His call, Follow His leading and give Him my all.

For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; Refrain: O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee; For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus wherever I am, Doing each duty in His holy name, Willing to suffer affliction or loss, Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; Refrain: O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee; For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus thro’ earth’s little while, My dearest treasure, the light of His smile, Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem, Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; Refrain: O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee; For Thou, in Thy Atonement, Didst give Thyself for me; I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.

Just As I Am, Without One Plea Ambassador Hymnal #417

Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, tho’ tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Dread fears within and strife without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am! Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am! Thy love unknown Hast broken every barrier down; Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

The LORD’s Prayer Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread: And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.
