Hymn: “I know That My Redeemer Lives”
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.
I find Him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near.
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.

He wills that I should holy be!
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.
Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
Ant to Thyself receive.

Thy love I soon expect to find
In all its depth and height;
To comprehend the Eternal Mind,
And grasp the infinite.
The bliss of those that fully dwell,
Fully in Thee believe,
‘Tis more than angel tongues can tell,
Or angel minds conceive.

Closing Prayer: And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:10-11)

Opening Prayer: Almighty God, point me in the direction of the good works You have for me this week, and give me the strength to respond to Your guidance. Amen.

Hymn: Jesus, I Come
Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,
Jesus, I come; Jesus I come.
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of my sickness into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Closing Prayer: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
