Hymns & Readings

Hymn 1 · Blessed Assurance No. 340

Bible Reading 1: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18

Show full lyrics

1 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.

Refrain: 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.

2 Perfect communion, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight. Angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]

3 Perfect submission, all is at rest. I in my Savior am happy and bless'd, watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain]

Hymn 2 · When Peace Like a River No. 370

Bible Reading 2: Revelation 7:9–17

Show full lyrics

1 When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.”

Refrain (after final stanza only): It is well with my soul; it is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control: that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain

3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! my sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain

4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend; even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain

Hymn 3 · My Faith Has Found a Resting Place No. 445

Bible Reading 3: 2 Peter 3:3–14

Show full lyrics

1. My faith has found a resting place, Not in device nor creed. I trust the ever-living One; His wounds for me shall plead.

Refrain: I need no other argument, I need no other plea, It is enough that Jesus died, And that he died for me.

2. Enough for me that Jesus saves, This ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul I come to Him, He'll never cast me out. [Refrain]

3. My heart is leaning on the Word, The written Word of God, Salvation by my Savior's name, Salvation thro' his blood. [Refrain]

4. My Great Physician heals the sick, The lost He came to save; For me his precious blood he shed, For me his life he gave. [Refrain]
