Job 14:1-2; 5 (NIV)

Psalm 39:4-5 (NIV)

¹Man born of woman

is of few days and full of trouble.

²He springs up like a flower and withers away;

like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.

⁵Man’s days are determined;

You have decreed the number of his months and

have set limits he cannot exceed.

⁴Show me, O LORD, my life’s end

And the number of my days;

Let me know how fleeting my life is.

⁵You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

The span of my years is as nothing before you.

Each man’s life is but a breath.

HYMN 1: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

HYMN 2: WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS

¹My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust my sweetest fame.

But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name

On Christ the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

²When darkness seems to veil His face,

I rest on His changing grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil:

³His oath, His covenant and blood;

Support me in the whelming flood

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my God;

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down:

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realms of nature mine?

That were an offering far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my live, my all

HYMN 3: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

HYMN 4: HE KNOWS IT ALL, MY TOTAL HEART

When we walk with the LORD

In the light of His Word

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will, He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey

                Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

                To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away:

Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay

Not a grieve nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross,

But is blest if we trust and obey

But we can never prove the delight of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay

For the favour He show and the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,

What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.

He knows my thoughts, my ways, my deeds;

My Jesus knows it all.

Every part of me His hands hath made,

He knows, He knows it all.

He knows it all, my total heart.

Nothing is hidden from my Lord

He knows, He knows it all.

In darkness or in bright sunlight,

He knows, He knows it all.

The depths  beneath the heights above,

He knows, He knows it all.

He knows it all, my total heart,

He notes and takes into account,

What’re I do or say.

He plans my ways, He directs me,

He knows, He knows it all.

In time of woe in time of joy

He knows, He knows it all.

He plans for me is in His hands,

He plans and controls everything,

Yes, Jesus knows it all.

My life on earth, my Jesus knows,

He knows, He knows it all.

If I should leave this earthly home,

Jesus has one for me.

Jesus loves me beyond compare

I am the sheep of His pasture

He loves me this I know.

HYMN 1. Whither, pilgrims are you going (578)

HYMN 3: There’s a land that is fairer than day  (61)

¹Whither, pilgrims are you going,

Going each with staff in hand?

We are going on a journey

Going at our King’s command;

Over hills and plains and valleys,

We are going to His palace,

Going to the better land.

²Fear ye not the way so lonely,

You a little, feeble band?

No; for friends unseen are near us,

Holy angels round us stand;

Christ, our Leader, walks beside us;

He will guard, and He will guide us,

Guide us to the better land.

³Tell us, pilgrims, what you hope for

In that far-off better land?

Spotless robes and crowns of glory,

From a Saviour’s loving hand;

We shall drink of life’s clear river,

We shall dwell with God for ever,

In that bright and better land.

⁴Pilgrims, may we travel with you

To that bright and better land?

Come and welcome, come and welcome,

Welcome to our pilgrim band.

Come, O come, and do not leave us;

Christ in waiting to receive us

In that bright and better land.

¹There’s  a land that is fairer than day

And by faith we can see it afar;

For the Father waits over the way

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

          In the sweet by and by,

          We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

          In the sweet by and by

          We shall meet on that beautiful shore

²We shall sing on that beautiful shore

The melodious songs of the blest,

And our spirits shall sorrow no more,

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

²To our bountiful Father above,

We will offer the tribute of praise

For the glorious gift of His love

And the blessings that hallow our days.

HYMN 3: My hope is built on nothing less (697)

¹My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus Blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust my sweetest fame.

But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name

On Christ the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

²When darkness seems to veil His face,

I rest on His changing grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil:

³His oath, His covenant and blood;

Support me in the whelming flood

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

HYMN 4 : All to Jesus I surrender (32)

HYMN 5: Nearer, my God to Thee (475, 40)

¹All to Jesus I surrender,

All to Him I freely give;

I will ever love and trust Him,

In His presence daily live.

                I surrender all;

                All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,

                I surrender all.

²All to Jesus I surrender,

Humbly at His feet I bow;

Wordly pleasures all forsaken,

Take me, Jesus, take me now!

³All to Jesus I surrender,

Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;

Let the Holy Spirit witness,

I am Thine and Thou art mine.

⁴All to Jesus I surrender,

Lord, I give myself to Thee;

Fill me with Thy love and power,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

⁵All to Jesus I surrender;

Now I feel the sacred flame.

Ah, the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory to His name!

¹Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee;

E’en though it be a cross

That raiseth me,

Still all my song shall be-

Nearer, my God, to Thee!

Nearer, my God, to Thee!

Nearer to Thee!

²Though, like the wanderer,

The sun goes down,

Darkness be over me,

My rest a stone,

Yet in my dream I’d be

Nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee!

Nearer to Thee!

³There let the way appear steps unto heaven;

All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;

Angles to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to Thee!

Nearer, my God to Thee!

Nearer to Thee!

⁴Then with my waking thoughts

Bright with Thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel  I’ll raise;

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!

⁵Or if on joyful wings

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upwards I fly,

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to Thee;

Nearer, my God to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!
