O wor-ship the King, all-glo-rious a-bov£,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
And sweet- ly dis- tills in the dew and the rain.

Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying: "Christian, love me morel"
In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian love me more than these."
Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies,
Savior may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience
Serve and love Thee best of all.

Take My Life
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
Ev'ry power as Thou shalt choose.
3
Take my will and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only all for Thee.

Where fields of strife lie desolate and bare
Take Thy sweet flow'rs of peace and plant them there.
Bring selfish lives from shadow-lands of loss
Into the radiance of the Savior's cross,
Where, in that gift — so precious, yet so lone —
Life finds its brotherhood and love its throne.

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side,
Bear patiently thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake.
Al! now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul, the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below

CANDLE FLAMING
56A (Service, Adapted) Schattachneider
Candle flaming, my heart naming
Christ the Lord of all;
Jesus, Savior, mine forever;
I have heard Thy call.
Candle glowing, my heart knowing
I should follow Him.
Jesus leading, guiding, pleading,
"Let no light be dim."
Candle gleaming, my face beaming,
Let me rise and go,
Whiie He leads me, where He needs me
In His world below.
Candle glorious — Christ victorious
Leads His people on.
Mighty army, forward journey,
Till the goal is won.

Draw near to Jesus' table,
Ye contrite souls, draw near;
The hungry, sick and feeble
Are made most welcome here:
Let Jesus' death engraven
Upon your hearts remain;
Thus here, and there in heaven,
Eternal life you gain.
85
All standing, the Minister shall consecrate the bread, saying:
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same night in which he was
betrayed, took bread, and, when he had given thanks, he
brake it, and gave it to his disciples and said: Take, eat; this
is my body which is given for you. This do in remembrance
of me.
22P (Hamburg) Gregorian Melody
James Montgomery 1771-1854 (1833)
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
I59A (Worship) German Popular Melody
C. R. vonZinzendorf 17271752
Bishop C. Gregor 1723-1801
Bishop Philip Molther, tr. 1714-1780
'Tis the most blest and needful part
To have in Christ a share,
And to commit our way and heart
Unto his faithful care:
This done, our steps are safe and sure,
Our hearts' desires are rendered pure,
And naught can pluck us from his hand,
Which leads us to the end.
My only joy and comfort hero
Is Jesus' death and blood;
I with this passport can appear
Before the throne of God-
Admitted to the realms of bliss,
I then shall see him as he is,
Whore countless pardoned sinners meet,
Adoring at his feet.

I68A (Zurich) Homburg, Alt. by Jacobi
Jesus, Source of my salvation,
Conqu'ror both of death and hell,
Thou Who didst, as my Oblation,
Feel what I deserved to feel,
Through Thy suff'rings, death and merit,
I eternal life inherit;
Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee,
Dearest Lord, for ever be.
Lord/ I'll praise Thee now and ever,
Who for me wast crucified;
For Thy agony, dear Savior,
For Thy wounds and pierced side,
For Thy love, so tried, unending,
For Thy death, all deaths transcending,
For Thy death and love divine,
Lord, I'll be for ever Thine.
II9A (Trochaic) Joh. E. Schmidt
Count N. L. vonZinzendorf 1700-1760
Bread of Life, Bread of Life,
Christ by Whom alone we live;
Bread that came to us from heaven,
My poor soul can never thrive
Unless Thou appease its craving;
Lord I hunger only after Thee,
Feed Thou me, feed Thou me.
O how great, O how great
Are the blessings we derive
From the fullness of our Savior;
They who Him by faith receive,
And desire to taste His favor,
From this source may freely take always
Grace for grace, grace for grace.
When the bread has been distributed, the communicants shall rise
and the Minister shall say:
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, Take, eat; this is my body
mich is given for you.
SILENT PRAYER

The Rev. John Praetorius 1738-1782
Thy blood, so dear and precious
Love made thee shed for me;
Oh, may I now, dear Jesus,
Love Thee most fervently;
May the divine impression
Of thy atoning death,
And all thy bitter passion,
Ne'er leave me while i've breath.
AH standing, the Minister shall consecrate the wine, saying:
After the same manner al:o our Lord Jesus Christ took
the cup, when he had supped, gave thanks, and gave it
to his disciples, saying: Drink ye all of it; this is my blood,
the blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you and
for many, for the remission of sins. This do ye, as oft as ye
drink it, in remembrance of me.
58IK (Graceham) S. C. Chitty 1831-1902
The Rev. A. M. Toplady 1740-1748
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me h:de myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side which flowed,
Bd of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power
Nothing in my hand I bring;
Simpiy to thy cro:s I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dross,
Helpless, look to thee for grace,
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids closo in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
Seo theo on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for mo!
Let me hide myself in theo.

Charlotte Elliott 1789-1871 (1836)
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God! I come — I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God! I come — I cornel
Just as I am; thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God! I come — I come!
Just as I am; thy love unknown
Has broken eve y barrier down;
Now, to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God! I come — I come!

I am trusting thee to guide me;

H. Louise von hayn 1724-1782 (1776)
Jesus makes my heart rejoice,
I'm his sheep, and know his voice;
He's a shepherd, kind and gracious,
And his pastures are delicious;
Constant love to me he shows,
Yea, my very name he knows.
Trusting his mild staff always,
I go in and out in peace;
He will feed me with the treasure
Of his grace in richest measure;
When athirst to him I cry,
Living water he'll supply.
Should not I for gladness leap,
Led by Jesus as his sheep?
For when these blest days are over,
To the arms of my dear Saviour,
I shall be conveyed to rest;
Amen, yea, my lot is blest.

The Saviour's blood and righteousness
My beauty is, my glorious dress;
Thus well arrayed, I need not fear,
When in his presence I appear.
The holy, spotless Lamb of God,
Who freely gave his life and blood,
For all my numerous sins to atone,
I for my Lord and Saviour own.
O King of glory, Christ the Lord,
God's only Son, eternal Word,
Let all the world thy mercy see,
And bless those who believe in thee.

I IBB (Agnus Christi) Grimm's Choral Buch 1755
The Rev. John Rambach 1693-1745
How great the bliss to be a sheep of Jesus,
And to be guided by his shepherd-staff;
Earth's greatest honors, howsoe'er they please us,
Compared to this, are vain and empty chaff:
Yea, what this world can never give,
May, through the Shepherd's grace, each needy sheep
receive.
Here is a pasture, rich and never failing,
Here livin.g waters in abundance flow;
None can conceive the grace with them prevailing,
Who Jesus' shepherd-voice obey and know:
He banishes all fear and strife,
And leads them gently on to everlasting life.
In the case of individual service, when the cups have been dis-
tributed, the communicants shall rise, and the Minister shall say:
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, Drink ye all of it. This do ye,
as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of Me.
Here all shall kneel
SILENT PRAYER
Then trie minister shall say, and the communicants respond:
O Thou Lamb of God Which takest away the sin of the

As often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye pro-
claim the Lord's death,
UNTIL HE COME.

22Z (Federal Street) Henry K. Oliver I8C0-I885

His seeking and his finding me.

What brought us together, what joined our hearts?
The pardon which Jesus, our High-priest imparts:
'Tic this which cements the disciples of Christ,
Who are into one by the Spirit baptized.
Is this our high calling, harmonious to dwell,
And thus in sweet concert Christ's praises to tell,
In peace and blest union our moments to spend,
And live in communion with Jesus our Friend?
O yes, having found in the Lord our delight,
He is our chief object by day and by night;
This knits us together, no longer we roam,
We all have one Father, and heaven is our home.

Tc Draiso thy name in fellowship
Wo humbly meet before thy face,
And in thy presence love fca't keep:
Shrd in on- hearts thy lovo abroad,
Thy Spirit's unction now impart-
Grant we may all, O Lamb of God,
In Thee bo truly one in hoart.

I59A (Worship) Bernstein; Swertner, tr.; Benade
We in one covenant are joined,
And one in Jesus are;
With voices and with hearts combined,
His praise we will declare;
In doctrine and in practice one,
We'll love and serve the Lord alone;
With one accord sound forth His praise,
Till we shall see His face.
We covenant, as heart to heart,
To follow Christ, our Lord;
With world and sin and self to part,
And to obey His word;
To love each other heartily,
In truth and in sincerity,
And under cross, reproach and shame
To glorify His name.
I95A (Groeningen) Joachin Neander 1610-1680 (1679)
G. Tersteegen 1697-1769
Bishop F. W. Foster 1760-1835
God reveals his presence;
Let us now adore him,
And with awe appear before him:
Sod is in his temple;
All in us keep silence,
And before him bow with reverence:
Him alone, God we own:
He's our Lord and Saviour:
Praise his name for ever.
Oh, majestic Being,
Were but soul and body
Thee to serve at all times ready:
Might we, like the angels
Who behold thy glory,
.• With abasement sink before thee,
And through grace be always,
In our whole demeanor,
To thy praise and honor.
S8IK Graceham) S. C. Chitty 1831-1902
Frances R. Havergal 1836-1879 (1865)
Jesus, Master, whose I am,
Purchased thine alone to be,
By thy blood, O spotless Lamb,
Shed so willingly for me;
93
Lot my heart be all thin* own,
Let me liv« to thee alone.
Jesus, Master, I am thine;
Keep me faithful, keep me near.
Let thy presence in me shine
All my homeward way to cheer.
Jesus, at thy feet I fall,
Oh, be thou my all in all!
!4C (Bedford) C. M. William Wheall 1690-1727
Jamas Montgomery 1771-1854 (181?)
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed;
The motion of a hidden fire,
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
Prayer is the simplest form of speech,
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high.
O thou, by whom we come to God,
The life, the truth, the way!
The path of prayer thyself hast trod;
Lord I teach us how to pray.
22F (Hus L. M.) John Hus 1369-1415
The Rev. John Cennick b. 1718
Be present at our table, Lord;
Be here and everywhere adored;
From thy all-bounteous hand our food
May we receive with gratitude.
We humbly thank thee, Lord our God,
For all thy gifts on us bestowed;
And pray thee graciously to grant
The food which day by day we want.

6 . The Rev. John Gambold I7II-I77I
What praise to thee, my Saviour,
Is due for every favor,
E'en for my daily food:
Each crumb thou dost aliow me,
With gratitude shall bow me,
Accounting all for me too good.
(Bread of Life) ,Wm.- Sherwin
Break Thou the Bread of Life,
Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves
Beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page
I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee,
O living Word!
Thou art the Bread of Life,
O Lord, to me.
Thy holy Word the truth
That saveth me;
Give me to eat and live
With Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth,
For Thou art love.
Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord,
To me — to me —
As Thou didst bless the bread
By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease,
All fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace,
My All-in-all.
68A (Thuringia) Adam Drese 1620-1701
Count N. L. vonZinzendorf 1700-1760 (1721)
Bishop C. Cregor 1723-1801
Jesus! still lead on,
Til! our rest be won;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
95
.'{ the way be drear.
If the foo be near.
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe
To our home we go.
When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring,
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
Jesus! still lead on
Till our rest be won;
Heavenly leader still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
h our fatherland.

I59D (Bechler) Bishop John C. Bechler 1784-1857
The Rev John Swertner 1746-1813 (1789)
Sing hallelujah, praise the Lord,
S.ng with a cheerful voice;
Exalt our God with one accord,
And in his name rejoice:
Ne'er cease to sing, thou ransomed host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Until in realms of endless light
Your praises shall unite.
There we to all eternity
Shall join the angelic lays,
And sing in perfect harmony
To God our Saviour's praise;
He hath redeemed us by his blood,
And made us kings and priests to God;
For us, for us, the Lamb was slain:
Praise ye the Lord! Amen.
Benediction
