Hymns

Once For All

By: Philip P. Bliss

1.
Free from the law—oh, happy condition!
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission;
Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.

Chorus
Once for all—oh, sinner, receive it;
Once for all—oh, doubter, believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.

2.
There on the cross
Your burden upbearing,
Thorns on His brow
Your Savior is wearing;
Never again your sin need appall,
You have been pardoned once for all.

3.
Now we are free—
There’s no condemnation;
Jesus provides
A perfect salvation:
“Come unto Me,”
Oh, hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all.

4.
Children of God—oh, glorious calling,
Surely His grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at His call,
Blessed salvation once for all.

Man of Sorrows

By: Philip P. Bliss

1.
“Man of sorrows,” what a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

2.
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place, condemned He stood,
Sealed my pardon with His blood:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

3.
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Refrain
Hallelujah! What a Savior
Is Jesus Christ our Lord!
Hallelujah! What a Savior
Is Jesus Christ our Lord!

4.
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished,” was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

5.
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

It Is Well

Words: Horatio Spafford
Music: Philip P. Bliss

1.
When peace like a river
Attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

Chorus
It is well, (it is well,)
With my soul, (with my soul,)
It is well, it is well with my soul.

2.
Though Satan should buffet,
Though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded
My helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

3.
My sin, oh the bliss
Of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross,
And I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4.
For me, be it Christ,
Be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine,
For in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

5.
And, Lord, haste the day
When my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound,
And the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.


Message

“Loaves and Fishes”

Message given by Peter McNaughton and Julian Taylor on June 20, 2021

Mark 6:30-44
30 The apostles gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught. 31 And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) 32 And they went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.

33 The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. 35 And when it was already late, His disciples came up to Him and said, “This place is secluded and it is already late; 36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38 But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 And He ordered them all to recline by groups on the green grass. 40 They reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He gave them to the disciples again and again to set before them; and He divided the two fish among them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied; 43 and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish. 44 There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
