SteinWas Music

Lyrics: Isaac Watts (1707) Tune: St Columba (Old Irish hymn melody) This is the first selection produced using the newly hand-crafted Steinway model S, S/N 282884 first built in 1936. 1 How sweet and awesome is the place with Christ within the doors, while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores. 2 While all our hearts and all our songs join to admire the feast, each of us cries, with thankful tongue, "Lord, why was I a guest? 3 "Why was I made to hear your voice, and enter while there's room, when thousands make a wretched choice, and rather starve than come?" 4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast that sweetly drew us in; else we had still refused to taste, and perished in our sin. 5 Pity the nations, O our God, constrain the earth to come; send your victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home. 6 We long to see your churches full, that all the chosen race may, with one voice and heart and soul, sing your redeeming grace.

Trinity Psalter Hymnal, Psalm 120

Old hymn book celebration no. 4: Shepherd of Tender Youth Tune name Braun. Pastor called for this several years ago and it was new to me. I like it, thus it is presented for you today. From Great Commission Pubs' Trinity Hymnal of 1961

Old hymn book celebration no. 3: I sought the Lord, From Great Commission Pubs' Trinity Hymnal of 1990. Both the Reformed Words and the tune are rather old, and I think this is about the best combination. One of my favorites, celebrating not because any of it is going away but because newer hymnal has the words set to a different tune.

Victory in Jesus, by E.M.Bartlett Arrangement copyright Amy L Potter. Used by permission. https://woodyandamypotter.wordpress.com/ Verse 1 I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory, How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me; I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory Chorus O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him. He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood Verse 2 I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow’r revealing How he made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see; And then I cried, “Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,” And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory. Verse 3 I heard about a mansion he has built for me in glory, And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing and the old redemption story, And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory.

From Trinity Hymnal v1 My faith has found a resting place, from guilt my soul is freed; I trust the ever-living One, his wounds for me shall plead. Refrain: I need no other argument, I need no other plea, it is enough that Jesus died, and that he died for me. v2 Enough for me that Jesus saves, this ends my fear and doubt; a sinful soul, I come to him, he’ll never cast me out. [Refrain] v3 My heart is leaning on the Word, the written Word of God, salvation by my Savior’s name, salvation thro' his blood. [Refrain] v4 My great Physician heals the sick, the lost he came to save; for me his precious blood he shed, for me his life he gave. [Refrain]

Great great hymn... With thanks to Jeanne who cracked open one of her many hymn books and brought this back to my attention. 1 O Love that will not let me go, rest my weary soul in thee. I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that follows all my way, I yield my flick’ring torch to thee. My heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day may brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee. I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain, that morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee. I lay in dust, life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red, life that shall endless be.

My heart owns none before thee, for thy rich grace I thirst; this knowing, if I love thee, thou must have loved me first.
