Worship through Songs
TEXT: Fanny J. Crosby | MUSIC: William H. Doane
[Verse 1]
To God be the glory great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life-gate that all may go in
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus, the Son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done
[Verse 2]
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To every believer, the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus, the Son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done
[Verse 3]
Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing thro' Jesus, the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus, the Son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus, the Son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done

[Verse 1]
When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings—name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done
[Refrain]
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God hath done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done
[Verse 2]
Are you ever burdened with a load of care
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear
Count your many blessings; every doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by
[Refrain]
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God hath done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done
[Verse 3]
When you look at others with their lands and gold
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high
[Refrain]
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God hath done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done
[Verse 4]
So amid the conflict, whether great or small
Do not be discouraged; God is over all
Count your many blessings; angels will attend
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end
[Refrain]
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God hath done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-7: GOD OUR REFUGE 上帝是咱的避難所
詩 篇 Psalm 46:1-11 (NKJV)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

[Verse 1]
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav’n and home
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
[Refrain]
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
[Verse 2]
“Let not your heart be troubled,”
His tender words I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubt and fear
Tho’ by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
[Refrain]
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
[Verse 3]
Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him
From care He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
[Refrain]
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Worship through Prayer
Lord, I praise You for You are an unchanging God. What You have made known through Your Word will never change. You are who You are eternally. I can rest assured in knowing that You remain true and faithful forever. Your promises are sure. These truths give me courage to move forward with confidence.
Thank You for the revealed truths in the Bible. Give me a heart to delight in Your Word. Let my life be marked by faithful obedience to Your commands. Give me courage and strength to trust and obey You, especially when it goes against my will and understanding.
Thank You for Your constant loving presence. Thank You for keeping Your promise to be with me always. Give me eyes of faith to see You when I feel lost and abandoned.
Here I am, Lord, use me. I offer my life to do Your will. Let me start by obeying Your commands each day. Teach me to love others in the same way You have loved me. Give me opportunities to show them grace and kindness.
Self-Reflection & Discussion
What uncertainties do you expect to happen in your life this year? What character of God gives you strength and courage to face these uncertainties?
What truth from God's Word gives you courage and boldness in uncertainties?
How do you know that God’s presence is with you through life's challenges?
Have you placed your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? If so, as God's child, what promise have received from God that enabled you to stand with boldness when you faced challenges in your life? If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus, what is preventing you from doing so?
