How Great Thou Art – Hymn # 86 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed Chorus Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, How great thou art! How great thou art! When thru 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, Chorus 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 my sin, Chorus When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, “My God, how great thou art!” Chorus

As I Search the Holy Scriptures Hymn #277 As I search the holy scriptures, Loving Father of mankind May my heart be blessed with wisdom, And may knowledge fill my mind.

Soothe my troubled heart and spirit; May my unseen wounds be healed. As I search the holy scriptures, Help me ponder and obey. In thy word is life eternal; May thy light show me the way.
