Doxology 00:29
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!
2.
Abide with me: fast falls the even tide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changes not, abide with me! I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Thru cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine thru the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
3.
In the hour of trial, Jesus plead for me, Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear nor favor Suffer me to fall. With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm; Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil and woe, Or should pain attend me On my path below, Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee.
4.
All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. Refrain: I surrender all, I surrender all; All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow; Worldy pleasures all forsaken, Take me, Jesus, take me now. [Refrain] All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessings fall on me. [Refrain]

Peace Medley 04:15
[Prince of Peace! Control My Will] Prince of Peace, control my will, Bid this struggling heart be still; Bid my fears and doubtings cease Hush my spirit in to peace. Thou hast bought me with thy blood, Opened wide the gate of God; Peace I ask, but peace must be, Lord, in being one with Thee. [Savior Grant Me Rest and Peace] Savior grant me rest and peace, Let my troubled dreaming cease; With the chiming midnight bell, Teach my heart that "all is well." I would trust my all with Thee, All my cares and sorrows flee, Till the breaking light shall tell Night is past and "all is well." I would seek Thy service Lord, Leaning on Thy promise word; Let my hourly labors tell I am Thine, and "all is well." [Peace, Perfect Peace] Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin: The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. It is enough; earth's strug-gles soon shall cease, And Je-sus call us to heav'n's per-fect peace. [It Is Well With My Soul] When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like seabillows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul." It is well, it is well with my soul. And Lord haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back like a scroll, The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, "Even so" it is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.
6.
Flee as a bird to your mountain, Thou who art weary of sin: Go to the clear flowing fountain Where you ay wash and be clean. Fly, for th'avenger is near thee; Call, and the Savior will hear thee; He on His bosom will bear thee, O thou who art weary of sin, O thou who art weary of sin. He will protect thee forever, Wipe every falling tear; He will forsake thee, O never, Sheltered so tenderly there. Haste, then, the hours are flying, Spend not the moments in sighing, Cease from your sorrow and crying: The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear, The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear.
7.
When my love to Christ grows weak, When for deeper faith I seek, Then in thought I go to thee, Garden of Gethsemane! There I walk amid the shades, While the lingering twilight fades, See that suffering, friendless One Weeping, praying there alone. When my love for man grows weak, When for stronger faith I seek, Hill of Calvary! I go To thy scenes of fear and woe. There behold his agony, Suffered on the bitter tree; See his anguish, see his faith; Love triumphant still in death. Then to life I turn again, Learning all the worth of pain, Learning all the might that lies In a full self-sacrifice.
8.
I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses; And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing; And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. [Refrain] I'd stay in the garden with Him Tho' the night around me be falling; But He bids me go; thro' the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling. [Refrain]
9.
Tho' like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, my God, Nearer, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, Nearer, to Thee. O Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise; While the hope of endless glory Fills my heart with joy and love. Teach me ever to adore Thee; May I still Thy goodness prove, Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; Never let me wander from Thee, Never leave the God I love; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en tho' it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
10.
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me; see, on the portals he's waiting and watching, watching for you and for me. Refrain: Come home, come home; you who are weary come home; earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home! Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not his mercies, mercies for you and for me? [Refrain] Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me; shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, coming for you and for me. [Refrain] O for the wonderful love he has promised, promised for you and for me! Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me. [Refrain]
11.
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer! Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge-- take it to the Lord in prayer! Do your friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there.
12.
Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains; And the mountains in reply, Echo back their joyous strains. Chorus: Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord the newborn King. [Chorus] See Him in a mager laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise. [Chorus]
13.
The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace, The Lord make His face to shine upon you, And be gracious unto you; The Lord be gracious unto you. Amen.
