What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Ambassador Hymnal

#173

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear;

What a privilege to carry

Ev’rything

to God in

pray’r

!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pains we bear,

All because we do not carry

Ev’rything

to God in

pray’r

.

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged:

Take it to the Lord in

pray’r

.

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our

ev’ry

weakness,

Take it to the Lord in

pray’r

.

Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge;

Take it to the Lord in

pray’r

.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in

pray’r

!

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Confession of SinAmbassador Hymnal Pg. 48 #4

Heavenly Father, we come before You to seek Your mercy and grace. We have sinned against You and against ourselves with our wrong attitudes of selfishness and pride.

We have not followed completely what You have told us in Your Word and have at times even rebelled against Your ways.

Confession of SinAmbassador Hymnal Pg. 48 #4

We are sorry. We seek Your forgiveness and cleansing through Your Son Jesus Christ, to whom all praise and glory will be given.

In His Name, Amen.

For God So Loved the World

Ambassador Hymnal #519

For God so loved the world

He gave His only Son

To die on

Calv’ry’s

tree,

From sin to set me free;

Some day He’s coming back—

What glory that will be!

Wonderful His love to me.

For God so loved the world

To die on

Calv’ry’s

tree,

From sin to set me free;

Some day He’s coming back—

What glory that will be!

Wonderful His love to me.

Now Thank We All Our God

Ambassador Hymnal #145

Now thank we all our God,

With heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done,

In whom His world rejoices;

Who from our mother’s arms

Hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love,

And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God,

Through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts,

And blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace,

And guide us when perplexed,

And free us from all ills,

In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God

The Father now be given,

The Son and Him who reigns

With them in highest heaven;

The one eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore;

For thus it was, is now,

And shall be evermore!

I Am Thine, O Lord

Ambassador Hymnal

#471

I am Thine, O Lord—

I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the

pow’r

of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope

And my will be lost in Thine.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

O the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in

pray’r

and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

There are depths of love that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

The LORD’s Prayer

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven;

Give us this day our daily bread:

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us,

The LORD’s Prayer

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil;

For

Thine

is the kingdom, and the power,

And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.

Amen

Amen

Amen

Have a wonderful day!
