Chorus: Let them praises give Jehovah, For His name alone is high, And His glory is exalted Far above the earth and sky. Let them praises give Jehovah! They were made at His command; Them forever He established; His decree shall ever stand. From the earth, O praise Jehovah, All ye floods, ye dragons all, Fire and hail and snow and vapors, Stormy winds that hear Him call. All ye fruitful trees and cedars, All ye hills and mountains high, Creeping things and beasts and cattle, Birds that in the heavens fly, Kings of earth, and all ye people, Princes great, earth’s judges all; Praise His name, young men and maidens, Aged men, and children small. 1 Praise the LORD!         Praise the LORD from the heavens;          Praise Him in the heights! 2 Praise Him, all His angels;         Praise Him, all His hosts! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon;         Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,         And you waters above the heavens!  5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,         For He commanded and they were created. 6 He also established them forever and ever;         He made a decree which shall not pass away. 7 Praise the LORD from the earth,         You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;         Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills;         Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle;         Creeping things and flying fowl; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;         Princes and all judges of the earth; 12 Both young men and maidens;         Old men and children.  13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,         For His name alone is exalted;          His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 And He has exalted the horn of His people,         The praise of all His saints—          Of the children of Israel,          A people near to Him. Praise the LORD! Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah! (200) Psalm 148 Lesson 1

  17. He carried my sorrows, He bore my grief’s, Was pierced for transgression, Afflicted for peace. Chorus: He knew by His stripes I am healed, Through His blood, I can kneel, For by His oppression, I worship my King. He suffered in anguish, He writhed in pain, Was smitten, forsaken, Abandoned, and slain. Despised and rejected, He knew no sin, Was crushed for His people, No violence within. (Chorus) My heart mourns His chastening, My tears still fall, My sin is the reason He gave me His all. (Chorus) Isa 53:3-9  3 He is despised and rejected by men,  A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.  And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;     He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4    Surely He has borne our griefs  And carried our sorrows;     Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5    But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,     And by His stripes we are healed. 6    All we like sheep have gone astray;     We have turned, every one, to his own way;     And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7    He was oppressed and He was afflicted,     Yet He opened not His mouth;     He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,     And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,     So He opened not His mouth. 8    He was taken from prison and from judgment,     And who will declare His generation?     For He was cut off from the land of the living;     For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9    And they made His grave with the wicked—     But with the rich at His death,     Because He had done no violence,     Nor was any deceit in His mouth. He Carried My Sorrows Lesson 3

  18.

Here Am I send me? • There’s a plaintive cry of mourning souls distressed, and the sigh of hearts who seek but find no rest, These should have my love and tender sympathy, ready at Thy bidding, here am I send me. • There are hungering souls who cry aloud for bread, with the bread of life they’re longing to be fed, shall they starve and famish while a feast is free? I must be more faithful, here am I send me? • There are souls who linger on the brink of woe, Lord, I must not, can not, bear to let them go; Let me go and tell them, brother turn and flee, Master I would save them, here am I send me. Lesson 4

  19. I Sing The Mighty Power of God • I sing the mighty power of God That made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies.I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command, And all the stars obey." • "I sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food; Heformed the creatures with His word And then pronounced them good.Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed Where'er I turn my eye, If I survey the ground I treat Or gaze upon the sky." • In heaven He shines with beams of love, With wrath in hell beneath; 'Tis on His earth I stand or move, And 'tis His air I breathe.His hand is my perpetual guard, He keeps me with His eye; Why should I then forget the Lord Who is forever nigh?" • "There's not a plant nor flower below But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise and tempest blow By order from Thy throne."Creatures--as numerous as they be--Are subject to Thy care; There's not a place where we can flee But God is present there."

  21. GOD HIMSELF IS WITH US #177 • God Himself is with us: Let us now adore Him, And with awe appear before Him. God is in His temple, all within keep silence, Prostrate lie with deepest reverence. Him alone, God we own, Him our God and Savior; Praise His Name forever. • God Himself is with us: Whom angelic legions Serve with awe in heavenly regions “Holy, holy, holy,” hear the hymn ascending, Angels, saints, their voices blending! Bow Thine ear to us here: Hear, O Christ, the praises that Thy church now raises. • O Thou fount of blessing, purify my spirit; Trusting only in Thy merit, Like the holy angels who behold Thy glory, May I ceaselessly adore Thee, And in all, great and small, seek to do most nearlyWhat Thou lovest dearly. • Come, abide within me; Let my soul, like Mary, Be Thine earthly sanctuary. Come, indwelling Spirit, With transfigured splendor; Love and honor will I render. Where I go here below Let me bow before Thee, Know Thee, and adore Thee." • Gladly we surrender Earth's deceitful treasures, Pride of life and sinful pleasures; Gladly, Lord, we offer Thine to be forever, Soul and life and each endeavor. Thou alone shalt be known Lord of all our being, Life's true way decreeing." Lesson 8

I Walk With The King #296 • In sorrow I wandered, my spirit oppressed, but now I am happy – securely I rest; from morning till evening glad carols I sing, and this is the reason – I walk with the King. • CHORUS: I walk with the King, hallelujah! I walk with the King, praise His name! No longer I roam, my soul faces home, I walk and I talk with the King. • For years in the fetters of sin I was bound, the world could not help me – no comfort I found; but now like the birds and the sunbeams of spring, I’m free and rejoicing – I walk with the King. • O soul near despair in the lowlands of strife, look up and let Jesus come into your life; the joy of salvation to you He would bring – come into the sunlight and walk with the King. Lesson 9

  23. The Day Thou Gavest • The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. • We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. • As o’er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent,Nor dies the strain of praise away. • The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren ’neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. • So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, Like earth’s proud empires, pass away: Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Lesson 10

  24. I Know Whom I Have Believed (291) I know not why God’s wondrous grace to me He hath made known. Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love redeemed me for His own. I know not what of good or ill may be reserved for me. Of weary ways or golden days, before His face I see. I know not when my Lord may come, at night or noon day fair. Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him or meet Him in the air. Chorus: “But I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.” Lesson 11

  25. There Is A Habitation (660) There is a habitation, built by the living God, for all of every nation, who seek that grand abode. A city with foundations, firm as the eternal throne, no wars nor desolations shall ever move a stone. No night is there no sorrow, no death and no decay, no yesterday no morrow, but one eternal day. Within its pearly portals, angelic armies sing, with glorified immortals, the praises of its King. CHORUS: Oh Zion, lovely Zion, I long thy gates to see; O Zion, lovely Zion, when shall I dwell in thee? Lesson 12
