I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one;
stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

Lord of all nations, grant me grace
to love all men of every race
And in each person that I see
my brother, loved, redeemed by thee.
Break down the wall that would divide
thy people, Lord, on every side.
Lead me to seek my neighbor's good
in bonds of Christian brotherhood.
Forgive me, Lord, where I have erred
my loveless act or thoughtless word.
Make me to see the wrong I do
will crucify you, Lord, anew.
Give me the courage, Lord, to speak
wherever strong oppress the weak.
Should I myself the victim be,
help me forgive, remembering thee.
With thine own love may I be filled
and by the Holy Spirit willed,
That all I touch, where'er I be,
may be divinely touched by thee.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
1. "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"If you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after me."
2. Take up your cross; let not its weight
Fill your weak spirit with alarm;
His strength shall bear your spirit up,
And brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3. Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
And let your foolish pride be still;
The Lord for you accepted death
Upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4. Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly ev'ry danger brave:
It guides you to a better home
And leads to victory o'er the grave.
5. Take up your cross and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For those who humbly bear the cross
One day will wear the glorious crown.
