MAY THE MIND OF CHRIST, MY SAVIOUR
[ Verse 1 ]
May the mind of Christ, my Saviour,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling
All I do and say.
[ Verse 2 ]
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow’r.
[ Verse 3 ]
May the peace of God, my Father,
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.
[ Verse 4 ]
May the love of Jesus fill me,
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.
[ Verse 5 ]
May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
[ Verse 6 ]
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.	Amen.

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES
[ Verse 1 ]
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
[ Verse 2 ]
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name.
[ Verse 3 ]
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace,
[ Verse 4 ]
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
[ Verse 5 ]
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.	Amen.

[ Heading 6b ]
PRAISE YE THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY
[ Verse 1 ]
Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!
[ Verse 2 ]
Praise ye the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
[ Verse 3 ]
Praise ye the Lord, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee!
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guilded and stayed thee;
How oft in grief Hath not He brought thee relief.
Spreading His wings for to shade thee!
[ verse 4 ]
Praise ye the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that halth life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again:
Glady for aye we adore Him.	Amen.
