‘HE LEADETH ME
O BLESSED THOUGHT’
[ All who are able please stand ]

10. (1a)
He leadeth me,
O blessed thought! O words with
heav’nly comfort fraught! Whate’er I do, where’er I be Still ’tis God’s hand
that leadeth me.

11. (1b)
He leadeth me,
He leadeth me, By His own hand
He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer
I would be, For by His hand
He leadeth me.

12. (2a)
Lord, I would place
my hand in Thine, Nor ever murmur
nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since ’tis my God
that leadeth me.

13. (2b)
He leadeth me,
He leadeth me, By His own hand
He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer
I would be, For by His hand
He leadeth me.

14. (3a)
And when my task
on earth is done, When by Thy grace
the vict’ry’s won, E’en death’s cold wave
I will not flee, Since God through
Jordan leadeth me.

15. (3b)
He leadeth me,
He leadeth me, By His own hand
He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer
I would be, For by His hand
He leadeth me.

WHITER THAN SNOW
and
SANCTUARY

18. (1a)
Lord Jesus, I long
to be perfectly whole;
I want you forever
to live in my soul.
Break down every idol;
cast our every foe
Now wash me and I shall be
whiter than snow.

19. (1b)
Whiter than snow,
yes, whiter than snow
Now wash me and I shall be
whiter than snow.

20. (2a)
Lord Jesus, before You
I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me
a new heart create.
To those who have sought You, You never said “No”-
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

21. (2b)
Whiter than snow,
yes, whiter than snow
Now wash me and I shall be
whiter than snow.

22. Lord, prepare me
to be a sanctuary,
pure and holy,
tried and true;
With thanksgiving,
I’ll be a living
sanctuary for You.

24. A TIME OF SHARING WITH
GOD’S CHILDREN
OF ALL AGES

25. THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE:
James 1:16-18, 22, 27
Don't be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all He created.

26. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says! Religion that God our Father accepts, as pure and faultless, is this: To look after orphans and widows in their distress and
to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

27. #685
‘FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS’
(1a)
Sweetly, Lord,
Have we heard You calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see
Where Your footprints falling
Lead us to You.

28. (1b)
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

29. (2a)
Though they lead
To the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along
By the welcome fountains,
Helping the weak.

30. (2b)
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

31. (3a)
If they lead
Through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes
Of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

32. (3b)
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

33. (4a)
Then, at last,
When on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest
Where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.

34. (4b)
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

45. THE CLOSING HYMN
#780
‘UNTIL THEN’

46. (1a)
My heart can sing
when I pause to remember A heartache here
is but a stepping stone Along a path that's
always winding upward This troubled world
is not my final home

47. (1b)
But until then
my heart will go on singing Until then with joy I'll carry on, Until the day
my eyes behold that city, Until the day
God calls me home.

48. (2a)
The things of earth
will dim and lose their value If we recall
they're borrowed for awhile And things of earth
that cause this heart to tremble Remembered there
will only bring a smile

49. (2b)
But until then
my heart will go on singing Until then with joy I'll carry on, Until the day
my eyes behold that city, Until the day
God calls me home.

50. (3a)
This weary world
with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll
of misery and strife;
The soul of man
is like a waiting falcon
When it’s released,
it’s destined for the skies.

51. (3b)
But until then
my heart will go on singing Until then with joy I'll carry on Until the day
my eyes behold that city Until the day
God calls me home.

52. THE PASTORAL BENEDICTION
Go forth from this place
as God’s elect and covenant people . . .
AMEN
