Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

I LOVE YOU LORD / SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
by Laurie Klein (c 1978 House of Mercy Music -

Company) / by Walford and Bradbury

I love You Lord and I lift my voice
To worship You, O my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what You hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known

In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer

To be happy in Jesus

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

IN THE GARDEN

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses

chorus: And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

But wholly lean on Jesus name

Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way

I ‘D RATHER HAVE JESUS / GIVE ME
JESUS / JESUS IS ALL THE WORLD TO ME /
I ‘D RATHER HAVE JESUS
by R. Miller and G.B. Shea / F. Crosby and J. Sweney /
W. Thompson

I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abideth ever
Through eternal years the same

O the height and depth of mercy
O the length and breadth of love
O the fullness of redemption
Pledge of endless life above!

Jesus is all the world to me
My life, my joy, my all
He is my strength from day to day
Without Him I would fall

Jesus is all the world to me
And true to Him I’ll be
Oh, how could I this Friend deny

When He’s so true to me?

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

A RESTING PLACE
by Chisholm and Lowden / Edmonds and Kirkpatrick

For Thou, in Thy atonement
Didst give Thyself for me

My heart shall be Thy throne
My life I give, henceforth to live
O Christ for Thee alone

chorus: I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me


“I have been crucified with Christ and I
no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The
life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son
of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
by G. Bennard (c 1913 by G. Bennard, renewed
1941, The Rodeheaver Co. a division of Word, Inc.)


On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

chorus: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For ‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me


“Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father
has sent me, I am sending you.”

SO SEND I YOU / UNTIL THEN
by M. Clarkson and J. W. Peterson / (c 1954, 1982
Singspiration ASCAP) / S. Hamblen (c 1958 Hamblen
Music Co., Inc.)


So send I you to labor unrewarded
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing
So send I you, to toil for Me alone

So send I you to leave your life’s ambition
To die to dear desire, self-will resign
To labor long, and love where men revile you
So send I you, to lose your life in Mine

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!
