Lyrics and Scripture for September 25/26, 2021

Psalm 19 (NASB)
The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me; then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

This Is My Father’s World

Verse 1
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings and ‘round me rings the music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world; I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought

Verse 2
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world; He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere

Verse 3
This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yets
This is my Father’s world, the battle is not done
Jesus who died shall be satisfied
And earth and heaven be one

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Verse 1
O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace

Verse 2
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim
To spread throughout the earth abroad the honors of Thy name

Verse 3
Jesus, the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life and health and peace

Verse 4
He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me

Verse 5
Before the throne we’ll sing the song with saints from every age
With thousands times ten thousand strong, we’ll praise His holy name

Immortal Invisible

Verse 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

Verse 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

Verse 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 nought changest Thee

Verse 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

In Christ Alone

Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Verse 4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
