O, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing!

O for a thousand tongues to sing

my great Redeemer’s praise,

the glories of my God and King,

the triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God,

assist me to proclaim,

to spread through all the earth abroad

the honors of Thy name!

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

that bids our sorrows cease;

‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,

‘Tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,

He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

Glory to God, and praise, and love

be ever, ever given,

By saints below and saints above,

the church in earth and heaven.

By saints below and saints above,

the church in earth and heaven.

Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed?

Alas, and did my Savior bleed,

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred

For sinners such as I?

Was it for sins that I had done

He suffered on the tree?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide,

And shut His glory in,

When Christ, the Great Redeemer, died

For man, the creature’s, sin

Thus might I hide my blushing face

While His dear cross appears,

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness

And melt my eyes to tears.

Alas, and did my Savior bleed,

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred

For sinners such as I?

Was it for sins that I had done

He suffered on the tree?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,

And love beyond degree – beyond degree.

“Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed” (1707)Words: Isaac WattsArr: WayfarerCCLI: 11148322

How Great Thou ArtO Lord my God when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly

in the trees.

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, “My Savior, God,” to Thee,

“How great Thou art! How great Thou art!”

(2x)

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,

Sent Him to die – I scarce can take it in.

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away our sin.



(2x)

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And make His home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim,

“My God, how great Thou art!”

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 “For Better or Worse” Sermon notes @

http://bible.com/e/1F53

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting,

for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,

but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.5 It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the

wise than to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools;

this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression drives the wise into madness,

and a bribe corrupts the heart.8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning,

and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

10 Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”

For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,

an advantage to those who see the sun.12 For the protection of wisdom is like the

protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is

that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

13 Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made

crooked?14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other,so that man may not

find out anything that will be after him.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-3A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting,

for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.

Ecclesiastes 7:4-64 The heart of the wise is in the house of

mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.5 It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the

wise than to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools;

this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 7:7-97 Surely oppression drives the wise into

madness, and a bribe corrupts the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the

proud in spirit.9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,

for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7:10-1210 Say not, “Why were the former days better

than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.

12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,

and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Ecclesiastes 7:13-1413 Consider the work of God:

who can make straight what he has made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not

find out anything that will be after him.

Gospel Application:

1)Are we living for Jesus or continuing to look back at Good old days?

2)Do we take one day at a time for better or worse?

3) How will the Gospel cause us to live wisely with out time, talent, treasure

knowing that tomorrow is not promised?

Do this in remembrance of me…

2 Corinthians 9:7Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26For I received from the Lord what I also

delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and

when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this

in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup

is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of

me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's

death until he comes.

‘Tis So Sweet‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

just to take Him at His word;

Just to rest upon His promise,

and to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

and in simple faith to plunge me

‘neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O, for grace to trust Him more!

Yes, ‘tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just from sin and self to cease;

Just from Jesus simply taking

life and rest, and joy and peace.





I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,

precious Jesus, Savior, friend;

and I know that Thou art with me,

You will be with me to the end.





“’Tis so Sweet” (1882)Words: Louisa M R Stead; Arr. Dan Emerson CCLI: 11148322

Amazing GraceAmazing grace – how sweet the sound! –

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost but now am found;

was blind, but now I see.

Amazing grace – how sweet the sound! –

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost but now am found;

was blind, but now I see.

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear,

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

and Grace will lead me home!

When we’ve been there ten thousand years

bright shining as the sun

we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

than when we first begun!

“Amazing Grace” (1779)Words: John Newton; Arr. Dan Emerson CCLI: 11148322

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit!

Oh, what needless pain we bear!

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

Jesus, Savior, is our refuge.

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior’s still our refuge;

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Oh, what a friend!

Oh, what a friend in Jesus!

Oh, what a friend!


(2x)

“O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” (1738)Words: Charles WesleyArr: Revolution ChurchCCLI: 11148322

Blessed Savior, You have promised,

All our burdens You will bear.

May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to you in earnest prayer.

Soon, in glory bright unclouded,

Face to face will be our prayer.

Joyful praise and endless worship

Will be our sweet portion there!

Oh, what a friend!


Oh, what a friend!


(2x)

“What a Friend in Jesus” (1855)Words: Joseph ScrivenArr: Revolution ChurchCCLI: 11148322

What Wondrous Love is ThisWhat wondrous love is this, O my soul!

What wondrous love is this, O my soul!

What wondrous love is this

that caused the Lord of bliss

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

For my soul!

When I was sinking down, sinking down;

When I was sinking down, sinking down;

When I was sinking down

beneath God’s righteous frown,

Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

Christ laid aside His crown for my soul!

For my soul!

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.

And when from death I’m free,

I’ll sing and joyful be.

And through eternity I’ll sing on.

And through eternity I’ll sing on.

I’ll sing on.

I’ll sing on.

I’lll sing on.
