1. Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee
Who was and is and evermore shall be
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
2. Psalm 8
ESV
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
3. This is My Father’s World

This is my Father’s world
And to my list’ning ears
All nature sings and ‘round me rings
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
This is my Father’s world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their Maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rust’ling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me ev’rywhere
This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father’s world
The battle is not done
Jesus who died will be satisfied
And Earth and heav’n be one
Jesus who died will be satisfied
And Earth and heav’n be one

On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken, weary soul, find your rest and be made whole
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars, pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree
In the sky, between two thieves, hung the blameless Prince of Peace
Bruised and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns
“It is finished” was His cry
The perfect Lamb was crucified
His sacrifice our victory
Our Savior chose the mercy tree
Hope went dark that violent day
The whole earth quaked at love's display
Three days silent in the ground; this body born for Heaven's crown
On that bright and glorious day
When Heaven opened up the grave
He's alive and risen indeed
Oh, praise Him for the mercy tree
Death has died; love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome—He is risen from the dead
One day soon we'll see His face
Every tear, He'll wipe away
No more pain or suffering
Praise Him for the mercy tree
Death has died; love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome—He is risen from the dead
Death has died; love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome—He is risen from the dead
On a hill called Calvary
There stands an endless mercy tree
5. The Broken Heart
Excerpt from The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions
No day of my life has passed that has not
proved me guilty in thy sight.
Prayers have been uttered from a prayerless heart;
Praise has been often praiseless sound;
My best services are filthy rags.
Blessed Jesus, let me find a covert in
thy appeasing wounds.
Though my sins rise to heaven, thy merits
soar above them;
Though unrighteousness weighs me down to hell,
thy righteousness exalts me to thy throne.
All things in me call for my rejection,
All things in thee plead my acceptance.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness
That the light of Christ
Might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory
Teach us Lord, full obedience
Holy reverence, true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of pow’r that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights
Of Your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises
And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory
7. What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Words by Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1855); Music (Converse) by Karl Reden (1868)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
Jesus, Savior, is our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Blessed Savior, You have promised
All our burdens You will bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to You in earnest prayer
Soon, in glory bright unclouded
Face to face will be our prayer
Joyful praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
8. John 15:12–15
ESV
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
