CHRIST OUR HOPE IN LIFE AND DEATH
VERSE 1
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ in which we stand
CHORUS
O sing hallelujah
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
VERSE 2
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
CHORUS
O sing hallelujah
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
VERSE 3
Unto the grave what shall we sing?
Christ, he lives, Christ, he lives
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him
There we will rise to meet the Lord
Then sin and death will be destroyed
And we will feast in endless joy
When Christ is ours forevermore
CHORUS
O sing hallelujah
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
CHORUS

Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death

HIS MERCY IS MORE
VERSE 1
What love could remember
no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all knowing
He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea
without bottom or shore
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
new every morn
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
VERSE 2
What patience would wait
as we constantly roam
What Father, so tender
is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest
the vilest, the poor
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
new every morn
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
VERSE 3
What riches of kindness
He lavished on us
His blood was the payment
His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt
we could never afford
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
new every morn
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
new every morn
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
Tag
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more
Our sins, they are many
His mercy is more

Sermon
1 Thessalonians 5:23-28 – Samuel Andres
COMMUNION
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
VERSE 1
When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
VERSE 2
Those He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fast
He’ll not let my soul be lost
His Promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He must hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
Verse 3
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
CHORUS
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
COME THOU FOUNT
VERSE 1
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
VERSE 2
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
VERSE 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O, take it seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
VERSE 4
Oh, that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Full arrayed in blood-washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Bring Thy promises to pass
For I know Thy pow’r will keep me
Till I’m home with Thee at last
