The Fool Whose Heart Declares in Pride
1 The fool whose heart declares in pride,
‘There is no God to fear,’
forgets the Lord’s all-seeing eye
who finds no goodness here.
For all have sinned and turned from God,
not one has kept God’s way;
corrupt alike, not one does good-
we all have gone astray.
2 Do they not know, can they not tell,
who plan to crush the poor,
that God is with the righteous still,
their refuge ever sure?
Now come, O Lord, your people bless,
and purify from wrong,
that we may make your righteousness
our everlasting song!
 
 
Immortal, Invisible
1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish– but naught changeth Thee.
4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

 
Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
2 We are Thine; do Thou befriend us,
Be the guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear, O hear us when we pray;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear, O hear us when we pray.
3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse and power to free:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee.
4 Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our beings fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
  
 
Ancient Words
1 Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart;
Oh, let the ancient words impart.
Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us cope;
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home.

Chorus
Ancient words ever true,
Changing me and changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

2 Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age,
Came to us through sacrifice;
Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ.
Marty’s blood stain each page
They have died for this faith
Hear them cry through the years
Heed these words and hold them dear.
 
 
Take My Life and Let It Be
1 Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days–
let them flow in ceaseless praise,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee,
swift and beautiful for Thee.
3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee,
filled with messages from Thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
every pow'r as Thou shalt choose,
every pow'r as Thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it Thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart– it is Thine own;
it shall be Thy royal throne,
it shall be Thy royal throne.
6 Take my love– my Lord, I pour
at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee,
ever, only, all for Thee.

Rejoice! Rejoice, Believers!
Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, O Sun so longed for,
O’er this benighted sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption
That sets your people free.
