Holy Holy Holy Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come Revelation 4:8 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning Our song shall rise to Thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, Blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns Around the glassy sea. Cherubim and seraphim Falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, And evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see. Only Thou art holy There is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, In love, in purity. John 4:31-34 New International Version Meanwhile his disciples urged him, Rabbi, eat something. But he said to them, I have food to eat that you know nothing about. Then his disciples said to each other, Could someone have brought him food? My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God! Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name In earth, and sky, and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, Blessed Trinity!

Are You Washed In The Blood They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14 Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Chorus Are you washed in the blood, In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you walking daily by the Savior's side? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? When the Bridegroom cometh, will your robes be white? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb? There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean; O be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lead Me To Calvary I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2 Chorus Lest I forget Gethsemane; Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary. King of my life I crown Thee now Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary. Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. Let me,like Mary,through the gloom, Come with a gift to Thee; Show to me now the empty tomb, Lead me to Calvary. May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.
