THURSDAY PRAYER SERVICE

 440 Abide with Me

1

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!

2

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!

3

I need Thy presence every passing hour;

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!

4

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:

Heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee:

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

 

185 Jesus Paid It All

1

I hear the Saviour say, “Thy strength indeed is small!

Child of weakness, watch and pray, find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain – He washed it white as snow.

2

Lord, now indeed I find Thy power, and Thine alone,

Can change the leper’s spots and melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain – He washed it white as snow.

3

For nothing good have I where-by Thy grace to claim –

I’ll wash my garments white in the blood of Calvary’s Lamb.

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain – He washed it white as snow.

4

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete,

“Jesus died my soul to save,” my lips shall still repeat.

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain – He washed it white as snow.

 

816 Have Thine Own Way, Lord

1

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.

Mold me and make me after Thy will,

While I am waiting, yielded and still. 

2

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Search me and try me, Master, today!

Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now, 

As in Thy presence humbly I bow. 

3

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!

Power, all power, surely is Thine!

Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine! 

4

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!

Hold o’er my being absolute sway!

Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see

Christ only, always, living in me!
