Deacon of the Month: Deacon Margaret Harrington Ushers: Debbie Violette & Annette Peabody Offering Plates are available in the back of the Sanctuary. “Jesus, I Come” Out of my bond-age, sor-row and night, Je-sus, I come, Je-sus, I come; Into Thy free-dom, glad-ness and light, Je-sus, I come to Thee. Out of my sick-ness into Thy health, Out of my want and into Thy wealth, Out of my sin and into Thy-self, Je-sus, I come to Thee.
Out of the fear and dread of the tomb, Je-sus, I come, Je-sus, I come; Into the joy and light of Thy home, Je-sus, I come to Thee. Out of the depths of ruin un-told, Into the peace of Thy shel-ter-ing fold, Ever Thy glo-rious face to be-hold, Je-sus, I come to Thee.
“Just As I Am” Just as I am, with-out one plea But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt re-ceive, Wilt wel-come, par-don, cleanse, relieve, Be-cause Thy prom-ise I be-lieve, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
“Moment by Moment” Dy-ing with Je-sus, by death reck-oned mine; Liv-ing with Je-sus a new life di-vine; Look-ing to Je-sus till glory deth shine, Mo-ment by mo-ment, O Lord, I am Thine. Refrain
Nev-er a weak-ness that He doth not feel, Nev-er a sick-ness that He can-not heal; Mo-ment by mo-ment, in woe or in weal, Je-sus my Sav-ior a-bides with me still. Refrain Refrain: Mo-ment by mo-ment I’m kept in His love; Mo-ment by mo-ment I’ve life from a-bove; Look-ing to Je-sus till glo-ry doth shine; Mo-ment by mo-ment, O Lord, I am Thine.
