Worship through Songs
TEXT: Henry van Dyke | MUSIC: Ludwig van Beethoven
[Verse 1]
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
[Verse 2]
All Thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee
[Verse 3]
Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blest
Well-spring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine
[Verse 4]
Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Love divine is reigning o’er us
Leading us with mercy’s hand
Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life

[Verse 1]
There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the Rock I cling
[Chorus]
How can I keep
From singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep
From shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
[Verse 2]
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You see me through
And sing the songs You give
[Chorus]
How can I keep
From singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep
From shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
[Bridge]
I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne
[Chorus]
How can I keep
From singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep
From shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart
I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart
I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

[Verse]
我是空谷的回音
Wo shi kong gu di hui yin
四處尋找我的心
Si chu xun zhao wo di xin
問遍溪水和山林
Wen bian xi shui he shan lin
我心依然無處尋
Wo xin yi ran wu chu xun
I’m the echo of the valley seeking for my being
I’ve asked the streams and forest
but found no peace within
哦我曾經多徬徨
O wo ceng jing duo pang huang
四週一無安息土
Si zhou yi wu an xi tu
笑聲留不住歡樂
Xiao sheng liu bu zhu huan le
眼淚帶不走痛苦
Yan lei dai bu zou tong ku
O, how I searched but couldn’t find a resting place -
laughter can’t keep happiness; tears don’t ease sorrows
[Verse 2]
我說生命不稀奇
Wo shuo sheng ming bu xi qi
一聲嘆息歸塵土
Yi sheng tan xi gui chen tu
放棄一切的追求
Fang qi yi qie di zhui qiu
任憑潮水帶我走
Ren ping chao shui dai wo zou
I said life isn’t great – we return to dust in a span of sigh
leaving our plans behind, carried away by the tide
哦我曾經多徬徨
O wo ceng jing duo pang huang
四週一無安息土
Si zhou yi wu an xi tu
笑聲留不住歡樂
Xiao sheng liu bu zhu huan le
眼淚帶不走痛苦
Yan lei dai bu zou tong ku
O, how I searched but couldn’t find a resting place -
laughter can’t keep happiness; tears don’t ease sorrows
[Verse 3]
有人曾經告訴我
You ren ceng jing gao su wo
耶穌正在尋找我
Ye su zheng zai xun zhao wo
祂愛能夠保護我
Ta ai neng gou bao hu wo
祂手能夠醫治我
Ta shou neng gou yi zhi wo
Then someone said to me,
“Jesus is looking for you… His love can shield you,
His hand will heal you”
哦我心中多快樂
O wo xin zhong duo kuai le
我又見到那太陽
Wo you jian dao na tai yang
我心緊緊跟隨祂
Wo xin jin jin gen sui ta
我唇還要讚美祂
Wo chun hai yao zan mei ta
O, how my heart was filled with joy -
I could see the sun again
Now my heart follows Him and my mouth praises Him
[Verse 4]
朋友你今在哪裡
Peng you ni jin zai na li
四處奔跑何時已
Si chu ben pao he shi yi
如果你還願意聽
Ru guo ni hai yuan yi ting
讓我再來告訴你
Rang wo zai lai gao su ni
Where are you going this day, my friend?
Rushing to and fro; if you would pause and listen
let me repeat once again
耶穌基督救贖主
Ye su ji du jiu shu zhu
祂曾滿足心無數
Ta ceng man zu xin wu shu
向祂傾訴向祂哭
Xiang ta qing su xiang ta ku
祂必使你得飽足
Ta bi shi ni de bao zu
Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior: He will fill your soul
tell Him all your sorrows; He will meet your needs

[Verse 1]
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
[Refrain]
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
[Verse 2]
When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints'and angels' song
[Refrain]
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
[Verse 3]
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Tho’ stretched from sky to sky
[Refrain]
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-8 GOD OUR STRENGTH 上帝是咱的力量
Psalm 27:1-8,13-14 (NKJV)
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Sermon
Song of Response
TEXT & MUSIC: Eugene M. Bartlett
[Verse 1]
I heard an old, old story
How a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me
I heard about His groaning
Of His precious blood’s atoning
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory
[Refrain]
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bo’t me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood
[Verse 2]
I heard about His healing
Of His cleansing pow’r revealing
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,”
And somehow Jesus came and bro’t
To me the victory
[Refrain]
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bo’t me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood
[Verse 3]
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea
About the angels singing
And the old redemption story
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there
The song of victory
[Refrain]
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bo’t me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood
Worship through Prayer
Life's challenges are inevitable. Yet, I praise You, Lord, for You have been my refuge and strength. Help me to fix my eyes on You instead of dwelling on the troubles of life. May I continue to trust in You.
I thank You even for this pandemic season. You are sovereign and good. I believe You are accomplishing Your holy will even during this uncertain times. All of nature is under Your control. Release us when it has served its purpose. Help us to wait patiently on You.
There are so much injustice in this world. Wicked people seem to get away unpunished. Yet, I know nothing escapes You, Lord. Remember the evil done against Your children. Save us from the evil hurled against us. When we suffer from the hands of those who do evil, keep us holy and righteous in our ways. Help us not to retaliate but allow You to avenge us.
