“How firm a foundation (hymn setting). Words by John Rippon. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can he say that to you he hath said, To you that for refuge to Jesus have fled?
"Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
"When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
"When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
"The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell shall endeavor to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."

“In Christ There is No East or West (hymn setting). Words by John Oxenham. In Christ there is no East or West, In him no South or North, But one great fellowship of love Throughout the whole wide earth.
In him shall true hearts everywhere Their high communion find; His service is the golden cord Close-binding all mankind.
Join hands, then, brothers of the faith, Whate'er your race may be! Who serves my Father as a son Is surely kin to me.
In Christ now meet both East and West, In him meet South and North, All Christly souls are one in him, Throughout the whole wide earth.

"Praise to the Lord, the Almighty" (hymnal setting) Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation: Join the great throng, Psaltery, organ, and song, Sounding in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord; over all things he gloriously reigneth; Borne as on eagle-wings, safely his saints he sustaineth. Hast thou not seen How all thou needest hath been Granted in what he ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee; Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee; Ponder anew What the Almighty can do, Who with his love doth befreind thee.
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath breath join with Abraham's seed to adore him! Let the "Amen" Sum all our praises again Now as we worship before him.
