Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

 

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

This is another Communion song. While taking communion imagine looking into Christ’s face while He is hanging on the cross. You won’t see accusations in His eyes, but eternal grace and forgiveness. Although we only take communion once a week, we should always remember His sacrifice and the fact that He is still with us.

Lyrics by Horatius Bonar, arranged by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

“Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, and all my weariness upon Thee lean.

Here would I feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not love, is passed and gone; The bread and wine remove, but Thou are here, nearer than ever still my shield and sun.

Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.”

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

 

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Almost every song has the name of Jesus or is about Jesus. The beauty of singing about Jesus is the comfort it brings to wounded spirit’s and troubled individuals. If you are not listening to inspirational songs, you are missing out on the Holy Spirit’s touch. It’s the things that we listen to and watch that determine how we think. Why not place God first in what we do in our lives.

Lyrics by John Newton, arranged by alexander R. Reinagle

“How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole and calms the troubled breast; Tis manna to the hungry soul and to the weary, rest.

Dear name! The rock on which I build, my shield and hiding place; My never failing treasure, filled with boundless stores of grace!

Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet and Priest and King, My Lord, my life, my way, my end. Accept the praise I bring. Amen

Communion Hymn

 

Communion Hymn

Communion is to be a holy moment designed to sup with Christ our Lord. It is a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice He made on the cross to take away our sins. He bled and died, was buried and resurrected so that we might live again with Him in heaven. He ascended so that He could send us the Holy Spirit. He lives within us and guides and directs us daily. Let us remember to take communion in a worthy manner, honoring Him in taking it.

Lyrics by Charles McMillan, arranged by J. C. Blaker

“On this Holy Lord’s Day morning, master of the earth and sea; stand we in Thy sacred presence, hearts and souls a thirst for Thee.

As we come around this table, emblematic of Thy death; fill, o fill us with Thy Spirit, till in Thee our souls shall rest.

May this loaf and cup remind us of the sacrifice Thou made, bleeding, dying for transgression that our sins on Thee be laid.

As we look to Thee, the author of all hope and joy and peace, may our loyal consecration to Thee, never, never cease.

Grant us in this sacred service, to behold God’s love anew; May the vision fill and thrill us, till Thy holy will we do.

Bread of Heaven

 

Bread Of Heaven

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:9. Our daily bread is the Word of God. When we feast on the Word of God, we are soaking everything up in our Love for the Lord. We learn so much from His word and we learn to praise and worship Him in honor and truth.

Lyrics by Joseph Conder, arranged by Xavier Schnyder

“Bread of heaven, on Thee we feed, for Thy flesh is meat indeed; Ever let our souls be fed with this true and living bread.

Vine of heaven, Thy blood supplies this blest cup of sacrifice; Lord, Thy wounds our healing give, to Thy cross we look and live.

Day by Day, with strength supplied through the life of Him who died, Lord of life, O let us be rooted, grafted, built on Thee!”

According to Thy Gracious Word

 

According to Thy Gracious Word

In everything we say and do we must remember Jesus and His great sacrifice for us. When we take of the communion, we remember that He died not just for one but for all. He took on the sins of the whole world. No one other than Jesus could have done that, so we remember that all the pain He suffered, He did for you and me.

Lyrics by James Montgomery, arranged by Henry W. Greatorex’s Collection

“According to Thy gracious word, in meek humility, this will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee.

Thy body, broken for my sake, my bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, and thus remember Thee.

When to the cross I turn my eyes, and rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee

Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, and all Thy love to me; Yea, while I breathe, a pulse remains will I remember Thee.

And when these failing lips grow dumb, and mind and memory flee, when Thou shall in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.”

Follow On

 

Follow On

When you put your faith and trust in Jesus you will have no fears. You will follow Him wherever He leads you and all will turn out for the good because you know you have been called according to His purpose. It is good to remember that Christ is always near and will never leave you or forsake you.

Lyrics by W.O. Cushing, arranged by Robert Lowry

“Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow; Everywhere He leads me I would follow on, follow on. Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.

Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow; With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear, danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near.

Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep, close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep; He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod, up to where they gather on the hills of God.

Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Anywhere, everywhere, I would follow on! Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Everywhere He leads me I would follow on!

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

 

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

If you are part of a church family, then you know how important fellowship is. We all come together to worship the same God in Spirit and in truth. We praise Him together with one heart and we bear each other’s burdens. Our prayers go up in unison for those we love so much. If you are not part of a church family, I encourage you to listen to God’s leading and go where He sends you. There are many church buildings out there, but only one family and that is the family that believes in Jesus Christ and is building a relationship with Him to receive eternal life.

Lyrics by John Fawcett, arranged by Lowell Mason

“Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne, we pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. Amen”
