CH4 160/MP 560: Praise my soul

1 Praise my soul,
the King of heaven,
to His feet thy tributes bring;
ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him
Praise the everlasting King.

2 Praise Him for His grace and favour,
to our fathers, in distress,
praise Him still the same for ever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him
Glorious is His faithfulness.

3 Father like He tends and spares us;
well our feeble frames He knows;
in His hands He gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes,
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him
Widely as His mercy flows.

4 Angels, help us to adore Him,
ye behold Him face to face,
sun and moon bow down before Him,
dwellers all in time and space
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him
Praise with us the God of grace.

JP 139: Jesus’ love is very wonderful

Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
O wonderful love
So high you can’t get over it
so low you can’t get under it
so wide you can’t get round it,
o wonderful love

 

Luke 17:11-19 New International Version – UK
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus travelled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him.
They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice,
‘Jesus, Master, have pity on us!’
When he saw them, he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’
And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him – and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, ‘Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?’
Then he said to him, ‘Rise and go; your faith has made you well”

 

CH4 544 : When I needed a neighbour

1 When I needed a neighbour
were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbour, were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
where you there?

2 I was hungry and thirsty,
where you there, were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty, were you there?

3 I was cold, I was naked,
where you there, were you there?
I was cold, I was naked, were you there?

4 When I needed a shelter,
where you there, were you there?
When I needed a shelter, were you there?

5 When I needed a healer,
where you there, were you there?
When I needed a healer, were you there?

6 Wherever you travel I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
Wherever you travel I’ll be there,
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
I’ll be there

 

CH4 180/MP 170 :Give thanks with a grateful heart

1 Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One;
give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son,
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One;
give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son,

2 And now let the weak say, ‘I am strong’
let the poor say, ‘I am rich’
because of what the Lord has done for us,
and now let the weak say, “I am strong”
let the poor say, ‘I am rich’
because of what the Lord has done for us,
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One;
give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son,

 

MP 486: Now thank we all our God

1 Now thank we all our God,
with hearts, and hands and voices;
who wondrous things hath done,
in whom Hia world rejoices;
Who, from our mother’s arms,
hath blest us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.

2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us;
and keep us in His grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.

3 All praise and thanks to God
the Farther now be given,
the Son, and Him who reigns
with Them in highest heaven;
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus i was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
