Heb. 12:2 - Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

1. He loved them to the uttermost, 
Those whom the Father chose;
Jesus, our shepherd, friend and Lord,
After the meal, He rose;
He laid aside divinity,
Then girded with humility,
He washed and wiped
this dirty world away.

    Filled with His freshness,
    power and presence,
    Having been washed and filled
    we love as Christ loved us;
    Spiritual energy,
    daily revival,
    Loving the brothers now
    as Christ has first loved us.

2. He loved them to the uttermost,
He washed His loved ones feet,
Produced this pleasant atmosphere
Where all the saints can meet.
His fragrant love has filled the room,
The service of our dear Bridegroom,
Jesus the Savior purifies His bride.

3. He loved them to the uttermost,
His Spirit was poured out;
His living word enlightens us,
Removes all fear and doubt;
The inner law of life dispensed,
Our heart filled in the deepest sense,
Maintains our love
for Jesus and His own.

He Loved Them to the Uttermost

Shout Hosanna, all ye people,
Christ defeated every evil;
We unite with one accord;
Praise Thee, ever conq’ring Lord.

Nevermore we fear the devil,
Christ destroyed him on the cross,
Stripping off the authorities;
Now we live His victory.
God of peace now crushes Satan
Under overcoming feet;
Our rejoicing overthrows him,
Shaming every enemy.

All day long sing hallelujahs
In the train of vanquished foes;
Through our praise we never leave,
Seated with Him at the throne.
 Never let the lies deceive you;
Christ has shut the serpent’s mouth;
Claim the fact that we have seen him
In the lake of fire now.

Soon the earth cries out, exalting
Our returning, shining Lord;
Until then we praise and sing;
All the glory’s to our King.
 Consummated corporate warrior,
New Jerusalem are we,
One with our ascended Husband,
Lord of lords and King of kings.

Hallelujah, Christ the Conqueror,
Every day we’re one with Him,
Walking in Him constantly,
Living Christ our vic-tor-y!

Shout ‘Hosanna’ all ye people!

1. I am crucified with Christ,
And the cross hath set me free;
I have ris'n again with Christ,
And He lives and reigns in me.

CHORUS:
Oh! It is so sweet to die with Christ,
To the world, and self, and sin;
Oh! It is so sweet to live with Christ,
As He lives and reigns within.

2. Mystery hid from ancient ages!
But at length to faith made plain:
Christ in me the Hope of Glory,
Tell it o'er and o'er again.

3. This the secret nature hideth,
Harvest grows from buried grain;
A poor tree with better grafted,
Richer, sweeter life doth gain.

4. This the secret of the holy,
Not our holiness, but Him;
O Lord! Empty us and fill us,
With Thy fulness to the brim.

5. This the balm for pain and sickness,
Just to all our strength to die,
And to find His life and fulness,
All our being's need supply.

6. This the story of the Master,
Thru the Cross, He reached the Throne,
And like Him our path to glory,
Ever leads through death alone.

I Am Crucified With Christ, And The Cross Hath Set Me Free

2 Cor 4:17-18: 
"For our momentary lightness of affliction
Works out for us,
More and more surpassingly,
An eternal weight of glory,
Because we do not regard
The things which are seen
But the things which are not seen;
For the things which are seen
Are temporary
But the things which are not seen
Are eternal."

Eternal Things (2 Cor. 4:17-18)

Acts 20:24:
"But I consider my life of no account as if precious to myself, in order that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus to solemnly testify of the gospel of the grace of God."

In the Bosom of the Father Hymn 203

1. Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
 Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
 How can I take my harp down from the willow?
 How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
 And when at night I’m keeping lonely vigil-
 Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer-
 Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
 But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2. Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
 Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
 Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
 For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
 Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
 My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
 Since Thou art gone the sense of void o’erwhelms me.
 Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3. Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
 Yet in my heart there’s still a sense of lack.
 Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
 Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
 Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
 Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
 When I feel most content, the silent yearning
 To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4. What exile cannot but desire his homeland
 And long his people once again to greet?
 What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
 What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
 O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
 With all the joy of Thy return compare?
 Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
 What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5. Could’st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
 Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
 Yet day by day and year by year I’ve waited
 And still I wait, and no return I see!
 Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
 While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
 How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
 Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6. From generation unto generation
 Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
 Thy glorious promise pass into fulfillment.
 How long, how very long the time has been!
 Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
 Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
 Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
 Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7. Lord, I recall the many years I’ve waited
 For Thy return-yet, Lord, not I alone,
 But Thy dear saints through many generations-
 Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
 To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
 By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
 Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
 Come, come and answer now this mighty corp’rate cry!

Since Long Ago At Bethany / New Tune (Mark's Song)

1	Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
