WE STAND FOR GOD

1. We stand for God, and for His glory
The Lord supreme and God of all;
Against His foes we raise His

Around the cross we hear His call.

Strengthen our faith Redeemer,
Guard us when danger is nigh;
To you we pledge our lives and
service
Strong in a trust that ne’er shall
die.
To you we pledge our lives and
service
Strong in a trust that ne’er shall
die.

breath,
To Christ our King and Lord of
lords,
We shall be faithful unto death.

HYMN 298 I LOVE TO HEAR THE STORY

Traditional

Lyrics

I LOVE TO HEAR THE STORY

1. I love to hear the story
Which angel voices tell
How once the King of Glory
Came down on earth to dwell:
I am both weak and sinful,
But this I surely know:
The Lord came down to save me,
Because He loved me so!

2. I’m glad my blessed Saviour
Was once a child like me,
To show how pure and holy
His little ones might be;
And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
Because He loves me so!

3. To sing His love and mercy,
My sweetest songs I’ll raise;
And though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise;
For He has kindly promised
That I shall surely go
To sing among His angels,
Because He loves me so!

GENTLE JESUS, MEEK AND MILD

1. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to thee.

Blessed Lord, forbid it not:
In the Kingdom of thy grace.
Give a little child a place.

3. Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
Thou shalt my example be;
Thou art gentle, meek and mild!
Thou wast once a little child.

4. Fain I would be as Thou art;
Give me Thy obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind.

5. Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb;
In Thy gracious hands I am;
Make me, Saviour, what Thou art,
Live Thyself within my heart.

HYMN 296 JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

Traditional

Lyrics

JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

1. Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last!

2. Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.

3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind:
Just and holy is Thy name,
I am all unrighteousness:
Vile, and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.

4. Plenteous grace with Thee is found-
Grace to cover all my sin:
Let the healing streams abound;
Make me, keep me pure within:
Thou of life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee:
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

HYMN 295 LOVING SHEPHERD OF THY SHEEP

Traditional

Lyrics

LOVING SHEPHERD OF THY SHEEP

1. Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,
Keep thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can thy power withstand,
None can pluck me from thy hand.

2. Loving Saviour, thou didst give-
Thine own life that we might live,
And the hands outstretched to bless
Bear the cruel nails’ impress.

3. I would praise thee every day,
Gladly all thy will obey,
Like thy blessed ones above
Happy in thy precious love.

4. Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach thy lamb thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my steps to stray
From the straight and narrow way.

5. Where thou leadest I would go,
Walking in thy steps below,
Till before my Father’s throne
I shall know as I am known.

HYMN 294 TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY

Traditional

Lyrics

TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY

1. Tell me the Old, Old Story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the Story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.

Chorus:
Tell me the Old, Old Story
Of Jesus and His love!

2. Tell me the Story slowly,
That I may take it in-
That wonderful redemption,
God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the Story often,
For I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning
Has passed away at noon.

3. Tell me the Story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember! I’m the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me that Story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.

4. Tell me the same Old Story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory
Is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the Old, Old Story:
AChrist Jesus makes thee whole.

HYMN 293 THERE’S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

Traditional

Lyrics

THERE’S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

1. There’s a Friend for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
A Friend who never changeth,
Whose love can never die.
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy,
The precious name He bears.

2. There’s a rest for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Who love the blessed Saviour,
And AAbba, Father, cry;
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and danger free;
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.

3. There’s a home for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy.
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare:
For every one is happy,
Nor could be happier, there.

4. There’s a crown for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by and by-
A crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On all who’ve found His favour
And loved His name below.

5. There’s a song for little children,
Above the bright blue sky-
A song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as King.

6. There’s a robe for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And a harp of sweetest music,
And a palm of victory,
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone;
Oh, come, dear little children,
That all may be your own.

HYMN 292 I THINK WHEN I READ THE SWEET STORY

Traditional

Lyrics

I THINK WHEN I READ THE SWEET STORY

1. I think when I read the sweet story
of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as
lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with them
then;
I wish that His hands had been
placed on my head,
That His arms had been thrown
around me,
And that I might have seen His kind
look when He said:
Let the little ones come unto me!

2. Yet still to His footstool in prayer I
may go,
And ask for a share of His love:
And if I now earnestly seek Him
below,
I shall see Him and hear Him
above.
In that beautiful place He has gone
to prepare
For all who are washed and
forgiven;
And many dear children are
gathering there
For of such is the kingdom of
heaven.

3. But for thousands and thousands
who wonder and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I should like them to know there is
room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to
come.
I long for the joy of that glorious
time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little children of
every clime
Shall crowd to arms and be blessed.
