Worship through Songs

[Verse 1]
The fight is onーthe trumpet sound is ringing out
The cry “To arms!” is heard afar and near
The Lord of hosts is marching on to victory
The triumph of the Christ will soon appear
The fight is on, O Christian soldier
And face to face in stern array
With armor gleaming and colors streaming
The right and wrong engage today
The fight is on but be not weary
Be strong and in His might hold fast
If God be for us, His banner o’er us
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last
[Verse 2]
The fight is onーarouse, ye soldiers brave and true
Jehovah leads, and vict’ry will assure
Go buckle on the armor God has given you
And in His strength unto the end endure
The fight is on, O Christian soldier
And face to face in stern array
With armor gleaming and colors streaming
The right and wrong engage today
The fight is on but be not weary
Be strong and in His might hold fast
If God be for us, His banner o’er us
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last
[Verse 3]
The Lord is leading on to certain victory
The bow of promise spans the eastern sky
His glorious name in ev’ry land shall honored be
The morn will breakーthe dawn of peace is nigh
The fight is on, O Christian soldier
And face to face in stern array
With armor gleaming and colors streaming
The right and wrong engage today
The fight is on but be not weary
Be strong and in His might hold fast
If God be for us, His banner o’er us
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last

[Verse 1]
The name of Jesus is so sweet
I love its music to repeat
It makes my joys full and complete
The precious name of Jesus
Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name
Jesus! Every day the same
Jesus! Let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever
[Verse 2]
I love the name of Him whose heart
Knows all my griefs and bears a part
Who bids all anxious fears depart
I love the name of Jesus
Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name
Jesus! Every day the same
Jesus! Let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever
[Verse 3]
That name I fondly love to hear
It never fails my heart to cheer
Its music dries the falling tear
Exalt the name of Jesus
Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name
Jesus! Every day the same
Jesus! Let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever

[Verse 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
[Verse 2]
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
[Verse 3]
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
[Verse 4]
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-9: GOD OUR SECURITY (上帝是咱的保障)
Psalm 91:1-16 (NKJV)
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone...
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him...
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

[Verse 1]
Simply trusting every day
Trusting thro’ a stormy way
Even when my faith is small
Trusting Jesus that is all
Trusting as the moments fly
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting Him whate’er befall
Trusting Jesus that is all
[Verse 2]
Brightly doth His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine
While He leads I cannot fall
Trusting Jesus that is all
Trusting as the moments fly
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting Him whate’er befall
Trusting Jesus that is all
[Verse 3]
Singing if my way is clear
Praying if the path be drear
If in danger, for Him call
Trusting Jesus that is all
Trusting as the moments fly
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting Him whate’er befall
Trusting Jesus that is all
[Verse 4]
Trusting Him while life shall last
Trusting Him till earth be past
Till within the jasper wall
Trusting Jesus that is all
Trusting as the moments fly
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting Him whate’er befall
Trusting Jesus that is all
Worship through Prayer
Worthy are You, O Lord, of all my love and devotion. Give me a steadfast faith to love and serve You all the days of my life. I am Yours. Let it be to me according to Your will and Your word unto Your glory.
Thank you that this Advent season is less frantic and commercialized than before. May I focus on the true reason of the season, giving thanks for the birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Lord Immanuel, I offer my life once again as a gift to You.
Lord Jesus, I give thanks for all Your grace and lovingkindness. I cannot imagine living without You. You are my life, my everything. I want to know You more and love You better each passing day. I pray that when I finally meet You face-to-face, the joy of knowing You in this lifetime would be made full.
