A mighty fortress—Jesus, Lord
A tower of strength never failing

In Humility, Our Savior
IN HUMILITY, OUR SAVIOR
#172, Hymns
In humility, our Savior
Grant thy Spirit here, we pray
As take the bread and water
In thy name this latter day
Let me not forget, O Savior
Thou didst bleed and die for me
When thy heart was stilled and broken
On the cross at Calvary
Fill our hearts with sweet forgiving
Teach us tolerance and love
Let our prayers find access to thee
In thy holy courts above
Then, when we have proven worthy
Of thy sacrifice divine
Lord, let us regain thy presence
Let thy glory round us shine
Let us not forget, O Savior
Thy sacrifice divine
Lord, let us regain thy presence
Let thy glory round us shine

#194, Hymns
There is a green hill far away
Without a city wall
Where thou dear Lord was crucified
And died to save us all
We may not know, we cannot tell
What pains were thine to bear
But we believe it was for us
Thou hung and suffered there
—text: Cecil Frances Alexander, adapted; music: John H. Gower

Thou came as man, though Son of God
And bowed thyself beneath the rod
Thou died in holy innocence
A broken law to recompense

#194, Hymns
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin
Thou only could unlock the gate of heav’n
And let us in
Oh, dearly, dearly has thou loved
And we must love thee too
And trust in thy redeeming blood
And try thy works to do

Because I Have Been Given Much
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MUCH
#93, Hymns
“Prayer of Thanksgiving” instrumental
—music: Anon., The Netherlands
#219, Hymns
Because I have been given much
I too must give
Because of thy great bounty, Lord
Each day I live
I shall divide my gifts from thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me
Because I have been sheltered, fed
By the good care
I cannot see another’s lack
And I not share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread
My roof’s safe shelter overhead
That he too may be comforted
Because of thy life’s mission, Lord
I too will serve
I’ll leave the comfort of my home
To teach thy word
I’ll seek thy sheep who’ve gone astray
And those who’ve never known the way
I will make thy work my work today
I shall give love to those in need
I’ll show that love by word and deed
Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed

I need thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford
I need thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh
I need thee, oh, I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need thee every hour
Most holy One
Oh, make me thine indeed
Thou blessed Son
I need thee, oh, I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to thee
I come to thee

Redeemer of Israel
Our only delight
On whom for a blessing we call
Our shadow by day
And our pillar by night
Our King, our Deliv’rer, our all
How long we have wandered
As strangers in sin
And cried in the desert for thee
Our foes have rejoiced
When our sorrows they’ve seen
But Israel will shortly be free
Restore, my dear Savior
The light of thy face
Thy soul-cheering comfort impart
And let the sweet longing
For thy holy place
Bring hope to my desolate heart
My shadow by day
And my pillar by night
My King, my Deliv’rer, my all
Redeemer of Israel
Redeemer of Israel
Redeemer of Israel

Peace, Be Still
PEACE, BE STILL
#105, Hymns
Master, the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh
Carest thou not that we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threat’ning
A grave in the angry deep?
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Whether the wrath of the storm tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, peace, be still
—text: Mary Ann Baker; music: H.R. Palmer

The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them
While He dwelt below

JESUS, THE VERY THOUGHT OF THEE
#141, Hymns
Jesus, the very thought of thee
With sweetness fills my breast
But sweeter far thy face to see
And in thy presence rest
No voice can sing, nor heart can frame
Nor can the mem’ry find
A sweeter sound than thy blest name
O Savior of mankind
O hope of every contrite heart
O joy of all the meek
To those who fall, how kind thou art
How good to those who seek
Jesus, our only joy be thou
As thou our prize wilt be
Jesus, be thou our glory now
And through eternity
Jesus, the very thought of thee
