GHS 73: Jesus Only Is Our Message

1. Jesus only is our Message,

Jesus all our theme shall be;

We will lift up Jesus ever

Jesus Only will we see.

Jesus only, Jesus ever,

Jesus all in all we sing;

Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer,

Baptizer and coming King.

2. Jesus only is our Saviour,

All our guilt He bore away;

All our righteousness He gives us,

All our strength from day to day.

3. Jesus is our Sanctifier,

Cleansing us from self and sin;

And with all His Spirit’s fulness,

Filling all our hearts within.

GHS 253: My Portion For Ever

1. All, all to Jesus,

I consecrate anew,

He is my portion forever;

Only His glory,

Henceforth will I pursue,

He is my portion forever.

Take, take the world with all its gilded toys,

Take, take the world I covet not its joys.

Mine is a wealth no moth nor rust destroys;

Jesus my portion forever.

2. All, all to Jesus,

My trusting heart can say,

He is my portion forever;

Led by His mercy

I'm walking ev'ry day,

He is my portion forever.

4. Jesus only is our Healer, All our sicknesses He bare; And His risen life and fulness, All His members still may share.

5. Jesus only is our Power, His the gift of Pentecost; Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us, Fill us with the Holy Ghost.

6. And for Jesus we are waiting, Listening for the trumpet’s sound; Then it will be us and Jesus, Living ever with our God.

3. Though He may try me

This blessed truth I know,

He is my portion forever;

He will not leave me,

His promise tells me so,

He is my portion forever.

4 All, all to Jesus,

I cheerfully resign,

He is my portion forever;

I have the witness that He,

My Lord, is mine,

He is my portion forever.

GHS 23: No Other Plea

1. My faith has found a resting place,

Not in device nor creed;

I trust the Ever-living One,

His wounds for me shall plead.

I need no other argument,

I need no other plea;

It is enough that Jesus died,

And that He died for me.

2. Enough for me that Jesus saves,

This ends my fear and doubt;

GHS 21: Will Your Anchor Hold?

1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,

Will your anchor drift or firm remain?

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love.

2. It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand;

And the cables passed from His heart to mine,

Can defy the blast, through strength divine.

A sinful soul I come to Him,

He’ll never cast me out.

3. My heart is leaning on the Word,

The written Word of God,

Salvation by my Saviour’s name,

Salvation through His blood.

4. My great Physician heals the sick,

The lost He came to save;

For me His precious blood He shed,

For me His life He gave.

3. It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,

When the breakers have told the reef is near;

Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,

Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

4. It will surely hold in the floods of death,

When the waters cold chill our latest breath;

On the rising tide it can never fail,

While our hopes abide within the veil.

5. When our eyes behold, through the gathering

night

The city of gold, our harbour bright,

We shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore,

With the storms all past for evermore.

GHS 258: Oh, To Be Like Thee

1.O to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer;

This is my constant longing and prayer;

Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,

Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee!

Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;

Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;

Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

2. O to be like Thee! full of compassion,

Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,

Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,

Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find.

GHS 179: Higher Ground

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Heaven’s tableland;

Where love, and joy, and light abound,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My constant aim is higher ground.

3. O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,

Holy and harmless, patient and brave;

Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,

Willing to suffer, others to save

4. O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming,

Now to receive th’ anointing divine;

All that I am and have I am bringing;

Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.

5. O to be like Thee! While I am pleading

Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love.

Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,

Fit me for life and Heaven above.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,

To rest beneath unclouded skies,

Above Earth’s turmoil peace is found,

By those who dwell in higher ground.

4. I long to scale the utmost height,

Tho’ rough the way, and hard the fight,

My song, while climbing, shall resound,

Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord lead me up the mountain side,

I dare not climb without my Guide;

And Heaven gained, I’ll gaze around

With grateful heart from higher ground.

GHS 216: More About Jesus Would I Know

1. More about Jesus would I know,

More of His grace to others show;

More of His saving fulness see,

More of His love who died for me.

More, more about Jesus,

More, more about Jesus;

More of His saving fulness see,

More of His love who died for me.

2. More about Jesus let me learn,

More of His holy will discern;

GHS 35: A New Name In Glory

1. I was once a sinner, but I came

Pardon to receive from my Lord.

This was freely given, and I found

That He always kept His word.

There's a new name Written down in glory,

And it's mine, (And it's mine,)

oh yes, it's mine! (yes, it's mine!)

And the white-robed Angels sing the story,

"A sinner has come home." (home, has come home.")

For there's a new name written down in glory,

And it's mine, (And it's mine,)

GHS 26: I Know Whom I Have Believed

Oh yes, it's mine! (yes, it's mine!)

With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,

Nevermore to roam.

2. I was humbly kneeling at the cross,

Fearing naught but God's angry frown,

When the heavens opened and I saw

That my name was written down.

3. In the Book 'tis written, "Saved by grace."

O the joy that came to my soul!

Now I am forgiven, and I know

By the blood I am made whole.

Spirit of God my teacher be,

Showing the things of Christ to me.

3. More about Jesus; in His Word,

Holding communion with my Lord;

Hearing His voice in every line,

Making each faithful saying mine.

4. More about Jesus; on His throne,

Riches in glory all His own;

More of His kingdom’s sure increase;

More of His coming, Prince of Peace.

3. I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus through the Word,

Creating faith in him

4. I know not what of good or ill

May be reserved for me,

Of weary ways or golden days,

Before his face I see.

5. I know not when my Lord may come,

At night or noonday fair,

Nor if I'll walk the vale with him,

Or meet him in the air.

1. I know not why God's wondrous grace

To me he has made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

Redeemed me for his own.

But "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that he is able

Go keep that which I've committed

Unto him against that day."

2. I know not how this saving faith

To me he did impart,

Nor how believing in his Word

Wrought peace within my heart.

In order not to provoke them to anger, parents must train their children. A realisation of tho nature ofchildren constrains us to take our responsibilities seriously.t. Children are born with a nature inclined to sin. it is very important for parents to train them to

discern between right and wrong and thus prepare them forthe new birth experience (Psalm 51 :5;Job 14:4; 15:14).

2. Children are born without knowledge. The principles and concepts imparted to them from theirtender age will make up their understanding and frame of reference (Psalm 1 9:2).

3. Children are imitators - the lifestyle and habits of parents will be transmitted to their children (Ezekiel
