'Saved for Glory' : a Hymn for Today

Saved for Glory 87 87
Tune: All to Jesus
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Christ is all in all to me;
I will tell the wondrous story,
How He came to set us free.Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

He came down to bring us freedom,
From man’s own self-righteous law;
Came to grant us free salvation,
Tell it out from door to door.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

Christ, the one Son of the Father,
God incarnate came to earth;
When you claim through Him redemption,
Through God’s Spirit get rebirth.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

You can claim this glorious blessing,
You receive the bounty free;
You can sing the Saviour’s story,
Tell it out aloud like me.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

Tell the world you’re saved for glory,
That in heav’n one day we’ll meet;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
We will worship at their feet.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

A hymn for the Sunday School: 'Little Children'

Little Children   7777 

Tune: Jesus Loves Me

Little children pure and sweet,

Worship at the Saviour’s feet;

He looks down at them to say,

Walk My straight and narrow way.

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      The Bible tells us so.

Jesus seated on the ground,

Called the children, gather round;

Drew them close to be with Him,

Gave them life, pure, free from sin.

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

The Bible tells us so.

Promised them that He’d be there,

And would hear their every prayer;

He’d supply their every need,

All His little lambs He’d lead.

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

The Bible tells us so.

'Angels Were Praising' : New Hymn for Today

Angels Were Praising  11 10 11 10 & Refrain

TUNE: One Day

Jesus our Saviour, our Lord and Redeemer,

Came down to earth from God’s heaven above;

Born of a virgin and lain in a manger,

Angels were praising the sign of God’s love.

Stars shone above Him as He was sleeping,

Nobody knew of the pain He would bear;

Jesus came down to bring us to salvation,

And on the cross God’s great love would declare.

One night He prayed all alone in the garden,

Sweat fell like blood, in blessed drops from His frame;

Seeking to serve God, His Father in heaven,

He’d pay the ransom, for sin bear the shame.  

Stars shone above Him as He was sleeping,

Nobody knew of the pain He would bear;

Jesus came down to bring us to salvation,

And on the cross God’s great love would declare.

Nailed to the cross Jesus suffered in sorrow,

He bore the pain our sin caused Him to bear;

He paid the cost for God’s plan of redemption,

He bought our freedom, now naught can compare.

Stars shone above Him as He was sleeping,

Nobody knew of the pain He would bear;

Jesus came down to bring us to salvation,

And on the cross God’s great love would declare.

Now He is risen, and seated in glory,

Waiting the time when the angel choirs sing;

Jesus will come for His people awaiting,

Then we’ll proclaim Him our Saviour and King!

Stars shone above Him as He was sleeping,

Nobody knew of the pain He would bear;

Jesus came down to bring us to salvation,

And on the cross God’s great love would declare.

Out across the earth;

Of the Saviour’s birth.

Born in simple stable,

To a virgin birth;

Blesséd Lord and Saviour,

Jesus came to save us,

Came to set us free;

Heavens day is dawning

Now on you and me.

Gospel Story  77 77

TUNE: St Bees

Jesus came down from above,

Telling us of God’s great love;

He’s our brother, Lord and friend,

And on Him we can depend.

He has paid the ransom cost,

To redeem the poor and lost;

Lame men walk and blind men see,

When He calls them, “Follow Me.”

When His promises we claim,

He will set our hearts aflame;

He will grant us when we serve,

Blessings more than we deserve.

His the glory, His the praise,

Songs of royal worship raise;

To His feet your tributes bring,

Praise and glorify the King!

'Jesus Lifts Me' : New Hymn for Today

Jesus Lifts Me  LM

TUNE: Abends

When I am weary, feeling bad,

When I am down or feeling sad,

When the world seems too hard to bear,

Then I find Christ is waiting there.

As I walk on life’s rocky road,

It’s sometimes hard to bear my load;

When I to God, in prayer, enquire,

Then I find Jesus lifts me higher.

Christ lifts me up, to raise me high,

Sometimes it seems I reach the sky;

Then when I see His wondrous face,

I’m silenced by His divine grace.

One day I’ll join with heaven’s choir,

To sing His praise my one desire;

Then in His light I’ll praise and sing,

In worship of our heav’nly King!

And kneel in silent awe;

In adoration, praise His name,

Give praise with one accord;

Praise Him on the throne.

Lost in wonder, lost in awe,

Lost in depths of praise.
