All My Hope on God is Founded Lyrics and Accompaniment



All My Hope on God is Founded

All my hope on God is founded;
He doth still my trust renew,
We through change and chance He guideth,
Only good and only true.
God unknown, He alone
Calls my heart to be His own.

Pride of man and earthly glory,
Sword and crown betray his trust;
What with care and toil he buildeth,
Tower and temple fall to dust.
But God’s power, hour by hour,
Is my temple and my tower.

God’s great goodness aye endureth,
Deep His wisdom, passing thought:
Splendor, light and life attend Him,
Beauty springeth out of naught.
Love doth stand at His hand;
Joy doth wait on His command.

Still from man to God eternal,
Sacrifice of praise be done,
High above all praises praising
For the gift of Christ His Son.
Christ doth call one and all:
Ye who follow shall not fall.

As Pants the Heart Lyrics and Accompaniment


As Pants the Heart

As pants the heart for cooling streams
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.

For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine:
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou majesty divine?

Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
The praise of Him who is thy God,
Thy health’s eternal spring.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

Amazing Grace Lyrics and Accompaniment


Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
 Was blind, but now I see.

T’was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

Though many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
Than when we first begun.




All People that on Earth Dwell Lyrics and Accompaniment


All People That on Earth Do Dwell

All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the lord is God indeed;
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His folk, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise;
Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

For why the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

A Mighty Fortress Lyrics and Accompaniment

            A Mighty Fortress

A mighty fortress is our God,
 A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great;
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is, He,
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devil filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed,
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers,
 No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, 
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever

And praise the Spirit, Thee in one!

As We Come to You in Prayer Lyrics and Accompaniment

As we come to you in prayer from emgeedee Dee


As We Come to You in  Prayer 
SDA Church Hymnal Hymn # 461

Now dear Lord as we pray,
Take our hearts and minds far away
From the press of the world all around
To Your throne where grace does abound.

May our lives be transformed by Your love
May our souls be  refreshed from above
At this moment let people everywhere
Join us now as we come to You in prayer.

We Gather Together Lyrics and Accompaniment


                    

We Gather Together

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to his name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou Lord wast on our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O lord make us free!

Usage of Some and Any : The Easy Way

Some and Any are quantifiers that can both be used before countable and uncountable nouns.

some friends
any toys

some homework
any oil

But we only use some in affirmative sentences.

There are some empty bottles in the backyard.
(not any empty bottles)
Let's play some games first before going home.
(not any games

However, we use any, not some, in negative sentences.

I don't have any money left in my wallet.
(not some money)
There isn't any bread on the table.
(not some bread

In questions, we mostly use any.

Do you have any glue?
Will you bring any food tomorrow?

But if a question expresses offers and requests, we use some, not any.

Can I have some tea?
Would you like some vanilla ice cream?

How to identify the subject of a sentence

How are we going to identify the subject of a sentence? A subject can be defined in two ways.

First, the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action. So you can easily identify the subject by asking the question "Who is the doer of the action?"

In this sentence, My father fixes his car, the action here is fixes and the one who does it is my father. Therefore, my father is the subject of that sentence.

Now, what if there's no action indicated in the sentence? How then are you going to know its subject?

A subject can also be defined as the main idea of a sentence. So if there's no action involved, simply ask yourself "What is the main idea of this sentence?" Your answer to this question is the subject.

Mathematics is quite hard. What is the main idea of this sentence? Obviously, the sentence is talking about Mathematics. Therefore, it is the subject of this sentence.
