• [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.

• [1Pe 1:4] Home At Last

  Cheer, O cheer, ye sons of Zion! Weary days will soon be past; Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us Tells that Heav’n is won at last. On that fair, celestial morning, Comes no cloud of grief or pain; In your peaceful tents abiding, Sorrow ne’er shall come again. Refrain Cheer, O cheer, ye sons of Zion! Weary days will soon be past; Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us Tells that Heav’n is won at last. Cheer, O cheer, the morn is breaking! Gloomy night will disappear; Christ will come with sweet awaking; Happier days will soon be here; Long the pilgrim path we’ve wandered, Long we’ve hoped ’mid doubt and fear, Hard we’ve pressed thro’ many a battle— Now the day of peace is here. Refrain Cheer, O cheer, the morn is breaking! Bright its beams of promise rise; Sing, O sing, ye heirs of Zion! Hear the welcome from the skies: “Come, ye blessèd of My Father,” Faint no more ’mid doubts and fears; Heaven’s bright portal opes before you; Wait for you immortal years. Refrain

• [1Pe 1:5] Kept For Jesus

  Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Kept, by the power of God; Kept from the world unspotted, Treading where Jesus trod. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Lord, at Thy feet I fall; I would be “nothing, nothing, nothing”; Thou shall be “all in all.” Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Serving as He shall choose; “Kept” for the Master’s pleasure; “Kept” for the Master’s use. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Kept from the world apart; Lowly in mind and spirit, Gentle and pure in heart. Refrain Oh, to be “Kept for Jesus!” Oh, to be all His own; Kept, to be His forever, Kept, to be His alone! Refrain

  I have found His grace is all complete, He supplieth ev’ry need; While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet, I am free, yes, free indeed. Refrain It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, Full of glory, full of glory, It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, Oh, the half has never yet been told. I have found the pleasure I once craved, It is joy and peace within; What a wondrous blessing! I am saved From the awful gulf of sin. Refrain I have found that hope so bright and clear, Living in the realm of grace; Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near, I can see His smiling face. Refrain I have found the joy no tongue can tell, How its waves of glory roll! It is like a great o’erflowing well, Springing up within my soul. Refrain

• [1Pe 1:10] All Hail To Thee, O Blessed Morn!

  All hail to thee, O blessèd morn! To tidings long by prophets borne Hast thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of Heaven! Singing, ringing, sounds are blending, Praises sending unto Heaven For the Savior to us given. ’Tis God’s own Image and withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a Brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather gather closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, buying through His passion Our salvation and to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory Heaven is rent To close upon us never; Our blessèd Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, nigher glory winging, Praises singing to the Father And His Son, our Lord and Savior.

• [1Pe 1:10] Hasten The Time Appointed

  Hasten the time appointed, By prophets long foretold When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold. Let every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone. Let Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore. Let all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day. Let all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love. Let war be learned no longer, Let strife and tumult cease, All earth His blessèd kingdom The Lord and Prince of Peace. O long expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone.
