Hymns:
64 Based on PSALM 92
SWEET is the work, my God, my King,
to praise Your Name, give thanks and sing;
to show Your love by morning light,
and talk of all Your truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
no mortal cares disturb my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
like David’s harp of solemn sound!
3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
and bless His works and bless His Word;
Your works of grace, how bright they shine,
how deep Your counsels, how divine!
4 And I shall share a glorious part,
when grace has well refined my heart;
and fresh supplies of joy are shed,
like holy oil, to cheer my head.
5 Sin, my worst enemy before,
shall vex my eyes and ears no more;
my inward foes shall all be slain,
nor Satan break my peace again.
6 Then shall I see, and hear, and know
all I desired or wished below;
and every power find sweet employ
in that eternal world of joy.
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

THE Lord is King; lift up your voice,
O earth, and all you heavens rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring:
‘The Lord omnipotent is King!’
2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
resist His will, distrust His care,
or murmur at His wise decrees,
or doubt His royal promises?
3 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
the Judge of all the earth is just:
holy and true are all His ways;
let every creature speak His praise.
4 He reigns! you saints, exalt your strains:
your God is King, your Father reigns;
and He is at the Father’s side,
the Man of love, the Crucified.
5 One Lord, one kingdom, all secures:
He reigns – and life and death are yours;
through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
‘The Lord omnipotent is King!’
Josiah Conder, 1789-1855

I WILL sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me;
how He left His home in glory
for the cross on Calvary.
I was lost: but Jesus found me,
found the sheep that went astray;
threw His loving arms around me,
drew me back into His way.
2 I was bruised; but Jesus healed me –
faint was I from many a fall;
sight was gone, and fears possessed me:
but He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o’er me;
sorrow’s paths I often tread;
but the Saviour still is with me,
by His hand I’m safely led.
3 He will keep me till the river
rolls its waters at my feet:
then He’ll bear me safely over,
where the loved ones I shall meet.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me;
sing it with the saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.

GRACE, ’tis a charming sound,
harmonious to the ear;
heaven with the echo shall resound,
and all the earth shall hear.
2 Grace first contrived a way
to save rebellious man;
and all the steps that grace display,
which drew the wondrous plan.
3 Grace first inscribed my name
in God’s eternal book;
’twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
who all my sorrows took.
4 Grace turned my wandering feet
to tread the heavenly road;
and new supplies each hour I meet,
while pressing on to God.
5 Grace taught my soul to pray,
and made my eyes o’erflow;
’tis grace that kept me to this day,
and will not let me go.
6 Grace all the work shall crown,
through everlasting days;
it lays in heaven the topmost stone,
and well deserves the praise.
vv. 1, 2, 4 & 6, Philip Doddridge, 1702-51;
