Sov’reign Grace O’er Sin Abounding
Words: John Kent
Music: William Batchelder Bradbury
1.
Sov’reign grace o’er sin abounding,
Ransomed souls, the tidings swell;
‘Tis a deep that knows no sounding,
Who its breadth or length can tell?
On its glories, on its glories,
Let my soul forever dwell!
On its glories on its glories,
Let my soul forever dwell!
2.
What from Christ the soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
Once in Him, in Him forever,
Thus th’ eternal cov’nant stands.
None shall pluck thee, non shall pluck thee
From the Savior’s mighty hands!
None shall pluck thee, none shall pluck thee
From the Savior’s – mighty hands!
3.
Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus,
Long ere time its race begun;
To His name eternal praises,
O what wonders love has done!
One with Jesus, one with Jesus,
By eternal union one.
One with Jesus, one with Jesus,
By eternal – union one.
4.
On such love, my soul, still ponder,
Love, so great, so rich, so free;
Say while lost in holy wonder,
Why, O lord, such love to me?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Grace shall reign eternally!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Grace shall reign – eternally!
O Come to the Altar

1.
Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling;
Have you come to the end of yourself?
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling.
Chorus
O come to the altar,
The Father’s arms are open wide;
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ.
2.
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes,
Come today there’s no reason to wait,
Jesus is calling;
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy,
From the ashes a new life is born,
Jesus is calling.
Bridge
Oh what a Savior!
Isn’t He wonderful?
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen!
Bow down before Him,
For He is Lord of all;
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen!
3.
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown,
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found.

Luke 15:11-32
11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.” ’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ ”
