WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Brethren, We Have Met to Worship Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God; Will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the Word? All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses sister aided him; Will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior, tell them that He will be found; Sisters, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other, too; Let us love and pray for sinners, till our God makes all things new. Then He ll call us home to heaven, at His table we ll sit down; Christ will gird Himself, and serve us with sweet manna all around. Blessed Be the Name O for a thousand tongues to sing; blessed be the name of the Lord! The glories of my God and King; blessed be the name of the Lord! Chorus Blessed be the name, blessed be the name; blessed be the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name, blessed be the name; blessed be the name of the Lord! Jesus, the name that charms our fears; blessed be the name of the Lord! Tis music in the sinner s ears; blessed be the name of the Lord! He breaks the power of cancelled sin; blessed be the name of the Lord! His blood can make the foulest clean; blessed be the name of the Lord! I never shall forget that day; blessed be the name of the Lord! When Jesus washed my sins away; blessed be the name of the Lord! 6
WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Leaning on the Everlasting Arms What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms. What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms. Chorus Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms. O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. Grace, Greater Than Our Sin Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt, Yonder on Calvary s mount out-poured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt. Chorus Grace, grace, God s grace, grace that will pardon and cleanse within! Grace, grace, God s grace, grace that is greater than all our sin. Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, Threaten the soul with infinite loss; Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold, Points to the refuge, the mighty cross. Dark is the stain that we cannot hide, What can avail to wash it away; Look there is flowing a crimson tide, Whiter than snow you may be today. 7
