THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU
The Lord bless you and keep you,
the Lord make his face to shine upon you.
To shine upon you and be gracious
and be gracious unto you.

The Lord bless you and keep you,
the Lord make his face to shine upon you.
To shine upon you and be gracious
and be gracious unto you.

The Lord lift up the light
of his countenance upon you,
the Lord lift up the light
of his countenance upon you.

And give you peace,
and give you peace,
and give you peace,
and give you peace.

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,
Amen, Amen, Amen.

I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me, and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, weary, worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place and He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
the living water: thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched,
my soul revived and now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light.
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise and all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my star, my sun:
and in that light of life I’ll walk till trav’lling days are done.

RETURN TO GOD
‍Refrain
‍Return to God with all your heart, the source of grace and mercy;
come seek the tender faithfulness of God.

Now the time of grace has come, the day of salvation;
come and learn now the way of our God.     Refrain
‍
If you break the chains of oppression,
if you set the pris'ner free;
if you share your bread with the hungry,
give protection to the lost;
give shelter to the homeless,
clothe the naked in your midst,
then your light shall break forth like the dawn.     Refrain

IN CHRIST ALONE
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘til on that cross as Jesus died
the wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid
here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
light of the world by darkness slain;
then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
for I am His and He is mine
bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
this is the power of Christ in me;
from life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand;
til He returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
