Jesus our Lord, our Light and our Salvation,
Inspire our lips to sing Thy worthy fame,
Spreading abroad to every tribe and nation,
The saving knowledge of Thy glorious Name.
[ Verse 2 ]
Help us O Lord, to keep our pledge unbroken,
Guard Thou our ways, our thoughts, our tongues, our hearts;
Help us to trust the Word which Thou has spoken,
That from Thy paths, our feet may ne’er depart.
[ Verse 3 ]
Here in these halls of learning and devotion
Let mind and heart be taught Thy holy will;
Then lead us forth, amid this world’s commotion,
Our high and sacred calling to fulfill.
[ Verse 4 ]
Help us O Lord! Our strength is only weakness:
Thine, Thine the power by which alone we live;
Help us each day to bear the cross with meekness,
Till Thou at last the promised crown shalt give.

JOIN ALL THE GLORIOUS NAMES
[ Verse 1 ]
Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore:
All are too poor to speak His worth,
Too poor to set my Saviour forth.
[ Verse 2 ]
Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless Thy name:
By Thee the joyful news Of our salvation came,
The joyful  news of sins forgiv'n,
Of hell subdued and peace with heav'n.
[ Verse 3 ]
Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered His blood, and died;
My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside:
His pow’rful blood did once atone
And now it pleads before the throne.
[ Verse 4 ]
Thou art my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide,
And Thou my Shepherd art; Oh, keep me near Thy side;
Nor let my feet e’er turn astray,
To wander in the crooked way.
[ Verse 5 ]
My Saviour and my Lord, My Conquer'r and my King,
Thy sceptre and Thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing:
Thine is the pow’r; behold I sit
In willing bonds beneath Thy feel.	Amen
[ Heading 6a ]
CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS
[ Verse 1 ]
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity.
[ Verse 2 ]
Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began,
And ye, who tread where He hath trod, Crown Him the Son of man;
Who every grief hath known That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own, That all in Him may rest.
[ Verse 3 ]
Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die.
[ Verse 4 ]
Crown Him the Lord of love! Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified:
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me:
Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity.		Amen.
[ Heading 6b ]
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
[Verse 1 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss:
From victory unto victory His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed.

Refrain:
Stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner.
It must not, it must not suffer loss.
[ Verse 2 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict, In this His glorious day:
”Ye that are men, now serve Him” Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.
[ Verse 3 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, The next, the victor’s song:
To Him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be:
He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally.
