We Bless You – John Wesley
O LORD God Almighty, Father
of angels and men, We praise and bless
your holy name for all your goodness and
loving kindness to humanity. We bless
you for our creation, preservation, and
for your unceasing generosity to us
throughout our lives; But above all, we
bless you for your great love in the
redemption of the world by our Lord
Jesus Christ. We bless you for bringing
us safe to the beginning of a new day.
Grant that this day we fall into no sin,
Neither run into any kind of danger.
Keep us, we pray, from all things
hurtful to body or soul, and grant us
your pardon and peace, So that, being
cleansed from all our sins, We might
serve you with quiet hearts and minds,
and continue in the same until our
life’s end, through Jesus Christ, our
Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

OLD-TIME HYMN
SAUL’S
JOURNEY TO DAMASCUS James A. Buchanan
(public Domain)
When the people of God
were worshipping,
In Damascus not far o’er the way,
From the bloodthirsty throng at
Jerusalem,
Journeyed Saul to bring them away.
Refrain
As he journeyed he heard a voice
say,
"Saul, oh, Saul, why persecutest
Me?
I am the Lord of Heav’n and earth,
I am Jesus, who died on the tree."
Then he said, "Who art Thou, Lord,
I pray,
And what wilt Thou now have me to
do?"
And the Lord said to him, "Arise,
I say,
’Twill be told thee what thou must
do."
Refrain
Then straight way did the chief of
sinners go
To receive God’s own word thro’
His Son;
Blessèd word which is life to the
sin-sick soul,
From the cross to the bright
golden crown.
Refrain
Guilty sinner, the Lord is calling
thee;
Will you hear while the voice
still doth cry?
Will you take His salvation so
great and free,
While eternity’s drawing so nigh?
Will you hear while the voice is
calling now,
"Oh, sinners, oh, wilt thou come
to Me?
I am thy light and saving power,
I am Jesus, who died on the tree."
