Dearest Jesus, Draw Thou Near Me Ambassador Hymnal #235

Dearest Jesus, draw Thou near me, Let Thy Spirit dwell with mine; Open now my ear to hear Thee, Take my heart and seal it Thine;

Keep me, lead me on my way Thee to follow and obey E’er to do Thy will and fear Thee, And rejoice to know and hear Thee.

Underneath Thy wings abiding, In Thy Church, O Savior dear, Let me dwell in Thee confiding, Hold me in Thy faith and fear;

Take away from me each thought That with wickedness is fraught, Tempting me to disobey Thee, Root it out, O Lord I pray Thee.

Thou, earth’s greatest joy and gladness, And salvation, full and free. Let Thy presence cheer my sadness, And prepare my soul for Thee!

In the hour when I depart, Touch my spirit, lips, and heart, With Thy Word assure, uphold me Till the heav’nly gates enfold me.

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;…

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.

When Peace Like a River Ambassador Hymnal #561

When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought; My sin, not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to His cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend; Even so it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

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.

Amen Amen AmenAmen!

Have a WONDERFUL day!!!
