Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

This is my Father's world,

And to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--

His hand the wonders wrought.

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

This is our Father's world:

O let us not forget

That though the wrong is great and strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

He trusts us with his world

to keep it clean and fair

All earth and trees, all skies and seas

All creatures everywhere

Verse 3

This is my Father’s world:

God shines in all that’s fair;

In rustling grass I hear him pass

He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father's world:

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King: let heaven ring!

God reigns; let earth be glad!

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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 (sung at the end)

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]

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

All hail the power of Jesus' name!

and crown him Lord of all!

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race

Ye ransomed from the fall,

hail him who saves you by his grace,

Hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all!

Verse 3

Let every kindred, every tribe

On this terrestrial ball,

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all.

To him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all!

Oh, that with yonder sacred throng

we at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

Amen.

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

I hear the Savior say,

“Thy strength indeed is small.

Child of weakness, watch and pray,

Find in Me thine all in all.”

REFRAIN

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.

(Last time) Amen.

VERSE 2 (sung at the end)

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,

Can change the leper’s spots

And melt the heart of stone.

VERSE 3

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim;

I’ll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

VERSE 4

And when, before the throne,

I stand in Him complete,

“Jesus died my soul to save,”

My lips shall still repeat.

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

there is no shadow of turning with thee;

thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;

as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

Refrain:

Great is thy faithfulness!

Great is thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see:

all I have needed thy hand hath provided--

Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

sun, moon, and stars in their courses above

join with all nature in manifold witness

to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. [Refrain]

Verse 3

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! [Refrain]

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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 He bought 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 (sung at the end)

I heard about His healing

Of His cleansing power 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 brought to me the victory [Refrain]

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
