Hymn…..Audience
My Gracious God and Lord,
May I forsake Thee never
Nor wander from Thy word;
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust
And I shall sing Thy praises
Forever with the just.
Lord Jesus! Bounteous giver
Of light and life divine,
Thou didst my soul deliver
To Thee I all resign;
Thou hast in mercy bought me,
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since Thou has sought me,
Eternal life obtain.
Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee…..Bach
