  • What a friend we have in Jesus!

    1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
    all our sins and griefs to bear
    What a privilege to carry
    Everything to God in prayer…

    O what peace we often forfeit
    O what needless pain we bear
    All because we do not carry
    Everything to God in prayer…

    2 Have we trials and temptations?
    Is there trouble anywhere?
    We should never be discouraged
    Take it to the Lord in prayer…

    Can we find a friend so faithful
    Who will all our sorrows share?!
    Jesus knows our every weakness
    Take it to the Lord in prayer…

    3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
    Cumbered with a load of care?
    Precious Savior, still our refuge
    Take it to the Lord in prayer

    Do your friends despise, forsake you?
    Take it to the Lord in prayer
    In His arms He’ll take and shield you
    You will find a solace there…

    What a friend we have in Jesus,
    all our sins and griefs to bear
    What a privilege to carry
    Everything to God in prayer…

  • Amazing grace

    1 Amazing grace,
    How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost, but now am found,
    Was blind, but now I see…

    2 ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    And grace my fears relieved
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed…

    3 Through many dangers, toils and snares,
    I have already come
    ‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
    And grace will lead me home…

    4 The Lord has promised good to me,
    His Word my hope secures
    He will my shield and portion be,
    As long as life endures…

    5 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease
    I shall possess, within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace….

    6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God, who called me here below,
    Will be forever mine…

    7 When we’ve been there ten thousand years
    Bright shining as the sun
    We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
    Than when we’d first begun

    (Shout, shout for glory,
    Shout, shout aloud for glory;
    Brother, sister, mourner,
    All shout glory hallelujah…)

    (Written by John Newton and William Cowper- Olney hymns)

  • Blessed assurance

    1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
    O, what a foretaste of glory divine
    Heir of salvation, purchase of God
    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood…

    (Chorus)
    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my Savior all the day long (2)

    2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
    Visions of rapture, now burst on my sight
    Angels descending, bring from above
    Echoes of mercy, whispers of love…

    (Chorus)

    3 Perfect submission, all is at rest,
    I in my Savior am happy and blest;
    Watching and waiting, looking above,
    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

    (Chorus)

    (Written by Fanny Jane Crosby)

  • Old rugged cross

    1 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
    Till my trophies, at last I lay down
    I will cling to the old rugged Cross
    And exchange it some day, for a crown…

    2 Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
    Has a wondrous attraction for me
    For the dear Lamb of God, left His Glory above
    To bear it to dark Calvary

    (Chorus)
    So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross…

    3 In the old rugged Cross,
    Stain’d with blood so divine
    A wondrous beauty I see
    For ’twas on that old cross
    Jesus suffered and died,
    To pardon and sanctify me

    (Chorus)
    So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross…

    4 To the old rugged Cross,
    I will ever be true
    Its shame and reproach gladly bear
    Then He’ll call me some day
    To my home far away,
    Where His glory forever I’ll share

    (Chorus)
    So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross…

    I will cling to the old rugged Cross
    And exchange it some day, for a crown…

    (Written by George Bennard)
