Lyrics - For the Beauty of the Earth
TEXT: Folliott S. Pierpoint | MUSIC: Conrad Kocher
[Verse 1]
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
[Verse 2]
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
[Verse 3]
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
[Verse 4]
For Thy Church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
[Verse 5]
For Thyself, best gift divine
To our race so freely given
For that great, great love of Thine
Peace on earth and joy in heaven:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

[Verse 1]
I have a song that Jesus gave me
It was sent from heav'n above
There never was a sweeter melody
'Tis a melody of love
[Chorus]
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody, with heaven's harmony
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody of love
[Verse 2]
I love the Christ who died on Calv'ry
For He washed my sins away
He put within my heart a melody
And I know it's there to stay
[Chorus]
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody, with heaven's harmony
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody of love
[Verse 3]
'Twill be my endless theme in glory
With the angel I will sing
'Twill be a song with glorious harmony
When the courts of heaven ring
[Chorus]
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody, with heaven's harmony
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody of love
There rings a melody of love

Lyrics - How Deep the Father's Love for Us
TEXT & MUSIC: Stuart Townend

[Verse 1]
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
[Verse 2]
Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
[Verse 3]
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
[End]
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Scripture Reading

R-6 GOD’S GRACIOUS LOVE 上帝恩愛
Psalm 103:1-13, 17 (NKJV)
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

Lyrics - I Will Sing of My Redeemer
TEXT: Philip P. Bliss | MUSIC: Rowland H. Prichard
[Verse 1]
I will sing of my Redeemer
And His wondrous love to me
On the cruel cross He suffered
From the curse to set me free
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 2]
I will tell the wondrous story
How my lost estate to save
In His boundless love and mercy
He the ransom freely gave
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 3]
I will praise my dear Redeemer
His triumphant power I’ll tell
How the victory He giveth
Over sin and death and hell
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 4]
I will sing of my Redeemer
And His heavenly love to me
He from death to life hath bro’t me
Son of God, with Him to be
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
Worship through Prayer
Lord, please forgive me for exalting myself especially when I think I deserve it. Keep me humble in every circumstance. Let true humility be found in my heart when You search me. May all honor and glory I receive be given back to You.
Thank You for using my life in big and small ways. Remind me that apart from You I can do nothing of eternal worth. My life belongs to You alone. Help me to be faithful in serving and living for You.
Heavenly Father, look upon me with favor always. Let me be Your beloved child forever. Thank You for Your grace and mercy that continue to fill my life. I am blessed through the Lord Jesus. I give You thanks with a heart of worship. Amen.
