oly:Sunday Morning Praise
Sing to the Lord a Joyful Song
Sing to the Lord a joyful song,
Lift up your hearts, your voices raise;
To us His gracious gifts belong,
To Him our songs of love and praise.
For life and love, for rest and food,
For daily help and nightly care,
Sing to the Lord, for He is good,
And praise His name, for it is fair.
For strength to those who on Him wait,
His truth to prove, His will to do,
Praise ye our God, for He is great,
Trust in His name, for it is true.
For joys untold, that from above
Cheer those who love His sweet employ,
Sing to our God, for He is love,
Exalt His name, for it is joy.
For He is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
Whom angels serve and saints adore,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To whom be praise forevermore.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:In the Cool of Evening
In the cool of evening,
My Lord comes down
And walks with me,
In the darkest of valleys,
He’s there to walk
And talk with me.
On the mountains,
Or in the valleys,
In the darkest of the night,
In my sorrows,
And in my trials,
He whispers it’s all right.
In the cool of evening,
In the garden of my heart.
When my heart is distressed,
He comes to me with grace.
When my soul grows weary
His arms are there to caress.
Oh Christian,
Why be discouraged,
When God is on His throne.
Oh why don’t you hasten,
Hear Him calling you home,
Yes, calling you home.
In the cool of evening,
He will walk and talk to you,
Yes in the cool of evening
He’ll walk and talk to you.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:O Jesus Savior, Friend Unseen
O Jesus Savior, friend unseen,
The faint, the weak on Thee may lean,
Help me, throughout life’s varying scene,
By faith to cling to Thee.
Blessed with this fellowship divine,
Take what Thou wilt, I’ll ne’er repine;
E’en as the branches to the vine,
My soul would cling to Thee.
Far from home, fatigued, oppressed,
My soul has found that place of rest
An exile still, yet not unblest,
While still and will cling to Thee.
What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove,
With patient, uncomplaining love
Still would I cling to Thee.
Though faith and hope may long be tried,
I ask not, need not aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to Thee!
Blessed is my lot, whate’er befall;
What can disturb me, who appall,
While as my strength, my rock, my all,
All, Savior, I cling to Thee!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!

The older I get the more the truth of those words is impressed upon me.
Thanks, Psalmist
Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:Face to Face With Christ My Savior
Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
Face to face — what will it be,
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me?
Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkened veil between,
But a blessèd day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.
What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened,
And the dark things shall be plain.
Face to face — oh, blissful moment!
Face to face — to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so.
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
oly:Another Day Begun!
Another day begun!
Lord, grant us grace that we,
Before the setting of the sun,
Redeem the time for Thee.
Another day of toil!
To Thee we yield our powers;
Keep Thou our souls from guilty soil
Through all the passing hours.
Another day of fear!
For watchful is our foe,
And sin is strong, and death is near,
And short our time below.
Another day of hope!
For Thou art with us still,
And Thine almighty strength can cope
With all who seek our ill.
Another day of grace
To help us on our way!
One step towards the resting-place,
The eternal Sabbath-day.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:God of All Comfort, Calm and Fair
“God of all comfort,” calm and fair
Stretch the broad plains beneath Thine eye;
And silent, through the hazy air,
Rise the blue hills to meet the sky.
The music of the steeple bells
Floats softly on the balmy air,
And the green earth in thousand tones
Lifts to Thy throne her grateful prayer.
“God of all comfort,” deeper far
Than the glad voice of earth or sea,
Swells the full tide of thankful song
Our hearts would offer unto Thee.
Yet when we strive, our lips can frame
No words to speak Thy matchless love,
So far the honor of Thy Name
Lies all our highest thoughts above.
Read Thou within our silent hearts,
The songs they vainly seek to raise,
And count their grateful tears for prayer,
Their trembling joy for tuneful praise.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
oly:God, Renew Us By Your Spirit!
God, renew us by your Spirit!
Come in gladness, hearts console,
Grant us joy so we may share it,
Oh, restore us; make us whole!
God, revitalize our mission!
Bless your church from pole to pole,
May we overcome division,
Oh, restore us; make us whole!
God, revive each congregation!
Be our center and our goal,
Help us join in adoration,
Oh, restore us; make us whole!
God, refresh your whole creation!
Timeless is salvation’s role,
Grant us boundless celebration,
Oh, restore us; make us whole!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:Softly The Silent Night
Softly the silent night falleth from God,
On, weary wanderers, over life’s road;
And as the stars on high light up the darkening sky,
Lord, unto Thee we cry — Father above.
Softly on failing wing daylight has passed;
Sleep, like an angel, kind, folds us at last;
Peace be our lot this night, safe be our slumber light,
Watched by Thy angels bright, Father above.
And when the gleam of morn touches our eyes,
And the returning day bids us arise,
Happy beneath Thy will, steadfast in joy or ill,
Lord, may we serve Thee still, Father above.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:O Lord, I Will Delight in Thee
O Lord, I will delight in Thee
And on Thy care depend,
To Thee in every trouble flee,
My best, my only Friend.
When all created streams are dried,
Thy fullness is the same;
May I with this be satisfied
And glory in Thy name.
No good in creatures can be found
But may be found in Thee;
I must have all things and abound
While God is God to me.
O Lord, I cast my care on Thee,
I triumph and adore;
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please Thee more.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:The Last Mile of the Way
If I walk in the pathway of duty,
If I work till the close of the day;
I shall see the great King in His beauty,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
If for Christ I proclaim the glad story,
If I seek for His sheep gone astray,
I am sure He will show me His glory,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
Here the dearest of ties we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen ev’ry day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
And if here I have earnestly striven,
And have tried all His will to obey,
’Twill enhance all the rapture of Heaven,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
oly:More Love to Thee, O Christ
More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:O How I Love Jesus
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears
A part that none can bear below.
Jesus, the name I love so well,
The name I love to hear:
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
oly:While Time is Spent
I do not ask, I would not know,
What Time is bringing me;
I only pray, come weal or woe,
That I may faithful be.
The future in God’s keeping lies,
The past He doth command;
To Him I lift my fearless eyes,
Nor ask to understand.
Under the shadow of His wings
I lodge while Time is spent,
And glorify the word that brings
The secret of content.
Where He doth lead I’ll follow on,
Whate’er the cost may be;
And in the dawning that awaits
I shall His glory see.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:Growing Dearer Each Day
How sweet is the love of my Savior!
’Tis boundless and deep as the sea;
And best of it all, it is daily
Growing sweeter and sweeter to me.
I know He is ever beside me!
Eternity only will prove
The height and the depth of His mercy,
And the breadth of His infinite love.
Wherever He leads I will follow,
Thru sorrow, or shadow or sun;
And though I be tried in the furnace,
I can say, Lord, Thy will be it done.
Some day face to face I shall see Him,
And oh, what a joy it will be
To know that His love, now so precious,
Will forever grow sweeter to me!
Sweeter and sweeter to me,
Dearer and dearer each day;
Oh, wonderful love of my Savior,
Growing dearer each step of my way!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and mercy to all here at TOL!
oly:Sunday Morning Praise
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Evening Praise the Lord.
oly:Moment by Moment
Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine;
Living with Jesus, a new life divine;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.
Never a trial that He is not there,
Never a burden that He doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that He doth not share,
Moment by moment, I’m under His care.
Never a heartache, and never a groan,
Never a teardrop and never a moan;
Never a danger but there on the throne,
Moment by moment He thinks of His own.
Never a weakness that He doth not feel,
Never a sickness that He cannot heal;
Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus my Savior, abides with me still.
Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;
Moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:Hidden Peace
I cannot tell thee whence it came,
This peace within my breast;
But this I know, there fills my soul
A strange and tranquil rest.
Beneath the toil and care of life,
This hidden stream flows on;
My weary soul no longer thirsts,
Nor am I sad and lone.
I cannot tell the half of love,
Unfeigned, supreme, divine,
That caused my darkest inmost self
With beams of hope to shine.
I cannot tell thee why He chose
To suffer and to die,
But if I suffer here with Him
I’ll reign with Him on high.
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Yes a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

oly:O God of Love, Grant Us Your Peace
O God of love, grant us Your peace,
Within each restless mind.
May all our inner turmoil cease,
God show us how to find
Your quiet rest, Your still, small voice,
Your light upon life’s way,
To walk with you our humble choice,
God give us grace to pray.
O God of life, grant us Your peace,
Both where we work and live.
Our ties of fellowship increase,
God, teach us how to give
A helping hand, a listening ear,
A message we may share,
So day by day and year by year,
God give us grace to care!
O God of hope, grant us Your peace,
Though all the earth choose war.
May global tensions now decrease,
God, lead us to adore
The way of Christ, and like our Lord,
Be merciful and just,
Surrounded by Your Living Word,
God give us grace to trust!
O God of all, grant us Your peace,
We share one human bond,
And so when others seek release,
God, help us to respond
To heal the sick, to seek the lost,
To set the captive free,
To serve and never count the cost;
May we live peacefully!
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
