Offertory Arrangement at Tenth somewhere in early/mid-2000s. Me playing.

O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

An arrangement of a tune by William Walker called FRENCH BROAD (named after the French Broad River in NC and TN) that appears in the Southern Harmony, 1854. The words are by Reginald Heber, 1865.

Hosanna to the living Lord!
Hosanna to the Incarnate Word!
To Christ, Creator, Savior, King,
Let earth, let heav’n, Hosanna sing!

Refrain:
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!

O Savior, with protecting care,
Abide in this Thy house of prayer,
Where we Thy parting promise claim,
Assembled in Thy sacred name.

But chiefest, in our cleansed breast,
Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest,
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure, and worthy Thee!

So, in the last and dreadful day,
When earth and heav’n shall melt away,
Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again.

Hosanna to the Living Lord

Abide With Me

Amazing Grace (Uilleann Pipes, Strings And Taiko Drums)

Remember That Time When... (Michael Jackson remix)

The Contrite Heart.

Isa 57:15

The LORD will happiness divine
On contrite hearts bestow:
Then tell me, gracious GOD, is mine
A contrite heart, or no?

I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
Insensible as steel;
If ought is felt, ’tis only pain,
To find I cannot feel.

I sometimes think myself inclined
To love thee, if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that’s good.

My best desires are faint and few,
I fain would strive for more;
But when I cry, “My strength renew,”
Seem weaker than before.

Thy saints are comforted I know,
And love thy house of prayer;
I therefore go where others go,
But find no comfort there.

O make this heart rejoice, or ache;
Decide this doubt for me;
And if it be not broken, break,
And heal it, if it be.

[Amen]

William Cowper (1731-1800)
from Olney Hymns, 1779

Recorded by the Temple University Concert Choir
Paul S. Jones, conductor

Abide With Me: Great Hymns in New Settings

Were You There? / Jesus Paid it all

From Psalm 143

Hear my prayer, O Lord.
Give ear to my supplication.
In your faithfulness answer me,
in your righteousness, answer me.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in You.
Show me the way to go, for to you I lift up my soul
and I have put my trust in You.
