Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee…
Well, we’re off!
I think I know the feeling Harry Breaker Morant must’ve had when he said…
We may not camp to-morrow, for we’ve many a mile to go,
Ere we turn our horses’ heads round to make tracks for down below.
There’s many a water-course to cross, and many a black-soil plain,
And many a mile of mulga ridge […]

For All Who Are Thirsty
Exodus 17:1-7
John 4:5-42
“If you are thirsty, you may drink.”
For a second she stared here and there, wondering who had spoken. Then the voice said again, “If you are thirsty, come and drink,”
…she realised that it was the lion speaking. …The voice was not like a man’s. It was deeper, wilder, and stronger; a sort […]

The Lord’s Messiah Comes
The Lord’s Messiah comes;
God’s kingdom to announce.
He calls us to repent,
and all our sins renounce.
His conquest over sin
now gives us peace within.
He breaks into our world,
the light of God to show,
all darkness to dispel,
all evil overthrow.
Let justice now be done,
new life on earth begun.
Lord of the end to come,
your praise we will repeat,
the world you […]

And through Thy Word to me draw near;

Let me Thy child and heir remain.

Thy Word brings peace and happiness.
3. To God, the Father, […]

Saturday Song: IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou […]

From Birth to Resurrection
I know not how that Bethlehem’s Babe
Could in the Godhead be;
I only know the manger Child
Has brought God’s life to me.
I know not how that Calvary’s cross,
A world from sin could free;
I only know its matchless love
Has brought God’s love to me.
I know not how that Joseph’s tomb
Could solve death’s mystery;
I only know a living […]
