Hymn of Praise - "No Sweeter Name Than Jesus"
Verse 1
There's no sweeter name than Jesus
I have tasted I have seen
Nothing better than His presence
A friend when I'm in need
Verse 2
There's no sweeter name than Jesus
He's the Savior of my soul
By His blood I am forgiven
He calls me now His own
Chorus
I will declare His goodness
I will declare His love
My life will testify forever
All that He is and what He's done
(All that He is and what He's done)
Verse 3
There's no greater name than Jesus
At its mention darkness hides
All creation stands in wonder
And heaven glorifies
Bridge
Hallelujah
He is worthy
Worthy of our praise
Ending
There's no sweeter name than Jesus
I have tasted I have seen
There's no sweeter name than Jesus
A friend when I'm in need

Prayer of Thanksgiving
Hymn of Invitation - #347 "And Can It Be?"
Verse 1
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood
Died He for me who caused His pain
For me who Him to death pursued
Amazing love how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me
Amazing love how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me
Verse 2
He left His Father's throne above
So free so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all immense and free
For O my God it found out me
'Tis mercy all immense and free
For O my God it found out me
Verse 3
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off my heart was free
I rose went forth and followed Thee
My chains fell off my heart was free
I rose went forth and followed Thee
Verse 4
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th'eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own
Bold I approach th'eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own
