God of mercy, God of grace, Show the brightness of your face. Shine upon us, Saviour, shine; Fill your Church with light divine, And your saving health extend To the earth's remotest end.

Let the people praise you, Lord! Be by all that live adored. Let the nations shout and sing Glory to their Saviour-King; At your feet their tribute pay, And your holy will obey.

Let the people praise you, Lord, Then enjoy your rich reward! God to us his blessing give, We to God devoted live, All below and all above One in joy and light and love.

“Take Time to Be Holy” Take time to be holy, speak much with the Lord; Abide in Him always and feed on His Word. Make friends of God's children, help those who are weak, Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy, this world rushes on; Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus like Him you will be, Your friends in your conduct His likeness will see.

Take time to be holy, let Him be your guide, And run not before Him, whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow still follow the Lord, And looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy, be calm in your soul. Place each thought and motive beneath His control. Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, You soon will be fitted for service above.

“When This Passing World is Done” When this passing world is done, When has sunk the radiant sun, When I stand with Christ on high, Looking o'er life's history, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe.

When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see You as You are, Love You with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe.

When the praise of heaven I hear, Loud as thunders to the ear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as harp's melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Only then, how much I owe.

Chosen not for good in me, Wakened up from wrath to flee, Hidden in the Saviour's side, By the Spirit sanctified; Teach me, Lord, on earth to show By my love how much I owe.

Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus—this is rest.

Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found. Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they. Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

“Arise, my Soul, Arise” Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears: The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears: Before the Throne my Surety stands, My name is written on his hands.

He ever lives above, For me to intercede, His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for ev'ry race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Five bleeding wounds he bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly plead for me; Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die!

My God is reconciled; His pard'ning voice I hear; He owns me for his child, I can no longer fear; With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba, Father!" cry.
