HYMN 1
When peace like a river

Verse 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

It is well (it is well)
with my soul (with my soul)
it is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 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

It is well (it is well)
with my soul (with my soul)
it is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 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

It is well (it is well)
with my soul (with my soul)
it is well, it is well with my soul.

HYMN 2
Guide me O my Great Redeemer

Verse 1

Guide me, O my great Redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but you are mighty
Hold me with your powerful hand
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me now and evermore
Feed me now and evermore

Verse 2

Open now the crystal fountain
where the healing waters flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all myjourney through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Ever be my strength and shield
Ever be my strength and shield

Verse 3

When I tread the verge of Jordan
bid my anxious fears subside
Death of death, and hell’s Destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever sing to you
I will ever sing to you

HYMN 3
Captain of Isreal’s host

Verse 1

Captain of Israel’s host, and Guide
Of all who seek the land above
Beneath Thy shadow we abide
The cloud of Thy protecting love
Our strength, Thy grace, our rule, Thy Word
Our end, the glory of the Lord

Verse 2

By Thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray
We shall not full direction need
Nor miss our providential way
As far from danger as from fear
While Love, almighty Love, is near

Verse 3

We’ve no abiding city here
But seek a city out of sight
Thither our steady course we steer
Aspiring to the plains of light
