Opening Hymn “And Can It Be”
1 And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood
Died He for me who caused His pain for me who Him to death pursued
Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God should die for me
Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God should die for me
2 He left His Father's throne above so free so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love and bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me
'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee
My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee
4 No condemnation now I dread Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head and clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne and claim the crown through Christ my own
Bold I approach the eternal throne and claim the crown through Christ my own

Closing Hymn “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
1 Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:
Refrain:
Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home.
2 When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near,
When my life is almost gone, Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall: [Refrain]
3 When the darkness appears and the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone, at the river, I stand,
Guide my feet, hold my hand: [Refrain]
Benediction:
