Postlude

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past, 

Our hope for years to come, 

Our shelter from the stormy blast, 

And our eternal home!

Under the shadow of Thy throne 

Still may we dwell secure; 

Sufficient is Thine arm alone, 

And our defense is sure. 

Before the hills in order stood, 

Or earth received her frame, 

From everlasting Thou are God, 

To endless years the same. 

A thousand ages in Thy sight 

Are like an evening gone; 

Short as the watch that ends the night, 

Before the rising sun. 

O God, our help in ages past, 

Our hope for years to come, 

Be Thou our guide while life shall last, 

And our eternal home! 

Amen. 

Abide With Me

Abide with me—fast falls the eventide; 

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 changest not, abide with me. 

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; 

Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness; 

Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? 

I triumph still if Thou abide with me. 

Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! 

O what a foretaste of glory divine! 

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, 

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. 

[CHORUS]:

This is my story, this is my song, 

Praising my Savior all the day long; 

This is my story, this is my song, 

Praising my Savior all the day long. 

Perfect submission, perfect delight, 

Vision of rapture now burst on my sight; 

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 

[CHORUS]

Perfect submission, all is at rest, 

I in my Savior am happy and blest; 

Watching and waiting, looking above, 

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. 

[CHORUS]
