Opening Hymn
806
With harps and with viols, there stand a great throng
in the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song:
Unto him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
unto him be the glory forever. Amen.
All these once were sinners, defiled in his sight,
now arrayed in pure garments in praise they unite:
He maketh the rebel a priest and a king,
He hath bought us and taught us this new song to sing
How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,
If he never had loved us till cleansed from our sin
Aloud in his praises our voices shall ring,
so that others believing, this new song shall sing

He leadeth me! O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine
Nor ever murmur or repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the victory's won,
E'en death's cold waves I would not flee
Since Thou through Jordan leadeth me.

Final Hymn
532
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred
minds is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathising tear.
When for awhile we part,
This thought will soothe our pain,
That we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way,
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toil and pain
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN

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 every race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away The presence of His Son.
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
My God is reconciled, His pardoning 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.
