• [1Pe 1:3] Bells Of Hope, The

  The bells of hope are ringing, O’er all the world today, And countless voices singing Join in the happy lay; The world is full of gladness, For hope today was born, When Christ, the King of glory Arose on Easter morn. Refrain Ring out, ye merry, merry bells, Good news to all you bring; Ring out, ring out, your happy chiming tells Of Christ our risen King. The bells of hope are ringing, All Nature’s bright and gay; She comes from death of winter Resplendent on her way; So help us, Heav’nly Father, To count all sin as dead, And grow with quickened purpose In Christ our living Head. Refrain The bells of hope are ringing; O saddened heart, now sing, For cruel Death is vanquished, And Christ is risen—King. The grave could not retain Him, Nor prove its boasted might, He burst the bands asunder And reigns in deathless light. Refrain

• [1Pe 1:3] Father Of Jesus Christ, My Lord

  Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord, My Savior and my Head; I trust in Thee, whose powerful Word Hath raised Him from the dead. In hope, against all human hope, Self desperate, I believe; Thy quickening Word shall raise me up, Thou shalt Thy Spirit give. Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to that alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries, “It shall be done!” To Thee the glory of Thy power And faithfulness I give; I shall in Christ, at that glad hour, And Christ in me shall live. Obedient faith that waits on Thee, Thou never wilt reprove; Bt Thou wilt form Thy Son in me, And perfect me in love.

1 Peter 1:23-25

• [1Pe 1:24] See, Another Year Is Gone

  See! another year is gone! Quickly have the seasons passed! This we enter now upon May to many prove our last. Mercy hitherto has spared, But have mercies been improved? Let us ask, am I prepared Should I be this year removed? Some we now no longer see, Who their mortal race have run; Seemed as fair for life as we, When the former year begun; Some, but who God only knows, Who are here assembled now, Ere the present year shall close, To the stroke of death must bow. Life a field of battle is, Thousands fall within our view; And the next death-bolt that flies, May be sent to me or you: While we preach, and while we hear, Help us, Lord, each one, to think, Vast eternity is near, I am standing on the brink. If from guilt and sin set free, By the knowledge of Thy grace; Welcome, then, the call will be To depart and see Thy face: To Thy saints, while here below, With new years, new mercies come; But the happiest year they know Is their last, which leads them home.

• [1Pe 1:25] Oh, Wonderful Word!

  Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! True wisdom its pages unfold; And though we may read them a thousand times o’er, They never, no never, grow old! Each line hath a treasure, each promise a pearl, That all if they will may secure; And we know that when time and the world pass away, God’s Word shall forever endure. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! The lamp that our Father above So kindly has lighted to teach us the way That leads to the arms of His love! Its warnings, its counsels, are faithful and just; Its judgments are perfect and pure; And we know that when time and the world pass away, God’s Word shall forever endure. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! Our only salvation is there; It carries conviction down deep in the heart, And shows us ourselves as we are. It tells of a Savior, and points to the cross, Where pardon we now may secure; For we know that when time and the world pass away, God’s Word shall forever endure. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! The hope of our friends in the past; Its truth, where so firmly they anchored their trust, Through ages eternal shall last. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! Unchanging, abiding and sure; For we know that when time and the world pass away, God’s Word shall forever endure.
