He loved me ere I knew him;
he drew me with the cords of love,
and thus he bound me to him;
and round my heart still closely twine
those ties which naught can sever,
for I am his, and he is mine,
forever and forever.
2 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He bled, he died to save me;
and not alone the gift of life,
but his own self he gave me!
Naught that I have mine own I'll call,
I'll hold it for the Giver,
my heart, my strength, my life, my all
are his, and his forever.
3 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
All pow'r to him is given,
to guard me on my onward course,
and bring me safe to heaven:
eternal glory gleams afar,
to nerve my faint endeavor:
so now to watch, to work, to war;
and then to rest forever.
4 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend!
So kind and true and tender,
so wise a Counselor and guide,
so mighty a defender!
From him who loves me now so well
what pow'r my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?
No! I am his forever.

My God, accept my heart this day
How sweet and awful is the place
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Calling; The Church The Church of Christ; The Church Christ's Presence in; The Church Growth of; Communion with Christ and God; Election; Holy Scriptures; Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?"
4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God,
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious Word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
6 We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May, with one voice and heart and soul,
Sing thy redeeming grace.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 14:14-24 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

The Master Has Come, and He Calls Us

The track of the footprints He leaves on our way;
Far over the mountain and through the deep hollow,
The path leads us on to the mansions of day:
The Master has called us, the children who fear Him,
Who march 'neath Christ's banner, His own little band;
We love Him and seek Him, we long to be near Him,
And rest in the light of His beautiful land.
2 The Master has called us; the road may be dreary,
And dangers and sorrows are strewn on the track;
But God's Holy Spirit shall comfort the weary;
We follow the Savior and cannot turn back.
The Master has called us: tho' doubt and temptation
May compass our journey, we cheerfully sing:
"Press onward, look upward," thro' much tribulation;
The children of Zion must follow their King.
3 The Master has called us in life's early morning,
With spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod;
We turn from the world with its smiles and its scorning,
To cast in our lot with the people of God:
The Master has called us, His sons and His daughters,
We plead for His blessing and trust in His love;
And through the green pastures, beside the still waters,
He'll lead us at last to His kingdom above. Scripture: Psalm 23:2 Used With Tune: ASH GROVE

let us sing to God our praise;
to the Rock of our salvation
loud hosannas let us raise.
Thankful tribute gladly bringing,
let us come before him now,
and, with psalms his praises singing,
joyful in his presence bow.
2 For how great a God, and glorious,
is the LORD of whom we sing;
over idol gods victorious,
great is he, our God and King.
In his hand are earth's deep places,
also his are all the hills;
his the sea whose bounds he traces,
his the land his bounty fills.
3 To the LORD, such might revealing,
let us come with reverence meet,
and, before our Maker kneeling,
let us worship at his feet.
He is our own God who leads us,
we the people of his care;
with a shepherd's hand he feeds us
as his flock in pastures fair.
4 While he offers peace and pardon
let us hear his voice today,
lest, if we our hearts should harden,
we should perish in the way--
lest to us, so unbelieving,
he in judgment should declare:
"You, so long my Spirit grieving,
never in my rest will share." Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: BEECHER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
