Alleluia, alleluia! hearts to heaven and voices raise
1 Alleluia, alleluia!
hearts to heaven and voices raise:
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise;
he who on the cross a victim
for the world’s salvation bled
Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2 Alleluia, Christ is risen!
death at last has met defeat:
see the ancient powers of evil
in confusion and retreat;
once he died, and once was buried:
now he lives for evermore,
Jesus Christ, the world’s redeemer,
whom we worship and adore.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen!
set your hearts on things above:
there in all the Father’s glory
lives and reigns our king of love;
hear the word of peace he brings us,
see his wounded hands and side!
now let every wrong be ended,
every sin be crucified.
4 Alleluia, alleluia!
glory be to God on high:
alleluia to the Saviour
who has gained the victory;
alleluia to the Spirit,
fount of love and sanctity:
alleluia, alleluia
to the Triune Majesty!

What a Friend We Have in Jesus?
“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!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O 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?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

To thee, O Father, lamp of all the living
Lyrics
1. TO thee, O Father, lamp of all the
living,
We offer now this life of thine own
giving:
Humbly we pray thee, through this
earth’s endeavour
Light his steps ever.
2. Jesus, thyself a baby once from
Heaven,
To thee this little pilgrim here is
given:
Within the mercy of thy fold be-
friend him;
Thy love attend him.
3. Spirit of Comfort, fountain ever
welling,
This infant’s heart take now to be
thy dwelling;
So may he live, grace, pity, truth
confessing,
Thy peace possessing.
4. Gather him, Holy Trinity, for ever
into the wisdom of thy strength,
that never
In life’s dark shadow-lands thy love
may have him:
Thine own receive him
You’ll Never Walk Alone

Lyrics
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the darkAt the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a larkWalk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blownWalk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk aloneYou’ll never walk aloneWalk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk aloneYou’ll never walk alone
