Worship Preparation-May 3, 2026

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim, falling down before Thee, which wert and art and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Jesu, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee, Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me; All my trust on thee is stay'd, All mine help from thee I bring, Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee, Spring thou up within mine heart, Rise to all eternity!

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art- Thou my best thought, by day and by night Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always; Thou and Thou only first in my heart. High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven’s joys, O’ bright heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever be fall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
