Sunday Hymns - Blessed Assurance

    Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
    Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
    Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

      
        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long;
        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long.

    Perfect submission, perfect delight,
    Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
    Angels, descending, bring from above
    Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long;
        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long.

    Perfect submission, all is at rest,
    I in my Savior am happy and blest,
    Watching and waiting, looking above,
    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

      
        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long;
        This is my story, this is my song,
        Praising my Savior all the day long.

Sunday Hymns - Glory to His Name

    Down at the cross where my Savior died,
    Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
    There to my heart was the blood applied;
    Glory to His Name!

        Refrain:
        Glory to His Name,
        Glory to His Name:
        There to my heart was the blood applied;
        Glory to His Name!

    I am so wondrously saved from sin,
    Jesus so sweetly abides within,
    There at the cross where He took me in;
    Glory to His Name!

    Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
    I am so glad I have entered in;
    There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
    Glory to His Name!

    Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
    Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
    Plunge in today, and be made complete;
    Glory to His Name!

-Elisha Hoffman 1878

Sunday Hymns - Alas and Did My Savior Bleed

VERSE 1 
Alas, and did my Savior bleed 
And did my Sovereign die? 
Would He devote that sacred head 
For such a worm as I? 
Was it for sins that I had done 
He groaned upon the tree? 
Amazing pity, grace unknown 
And love beyond degree 

CHORUS 
My God, why would You shed Your blood 
So pure and undefiled 
To make a sinful one like me 
Your chosen, precious child? 

VERSE 2 
Well might the sun in darkness hide 
And shut His glories in 
When Christ, the mighty Maker, 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

Sunday Hymns - A Mighty Fortress is Our God

1. A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
   Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
   For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
   His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
   On earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
   Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
   Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
   Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
   And He must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
   We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
   The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
   His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
   One little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
   The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
   Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
   The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
   His kingdom is forever.

-Martin Luther 1529
