Come Thou Fount
of Every Blessing
Come thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I’m come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand’ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Footsteps of Jesus

Sermon: The Discipline of Service
Scripture: John 13:3-5; 12-17
John 13:3-17 ( NASB )
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things
into His hands, and that He had come forth from God
and was going back to God,
4got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and
taking a towel, He girded Himself.
5Then He poured water into the basin, and began to
wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the
towel with which He was girded.
John 13:3-17 ( NASB )
13“You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right,
for so I am.
14“If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your
feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15“For I gave you an example that you also should do
as I did to you.
16“Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater
than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than
the one who sent him.
17“If you know these things, you are blessed if you do
them.

Take up Thy cross and follow Me
I heard my Master say
I gave my life to ransom Thee
Surrender your all today
Wherever He leads, I'll go
Wherever He leads, I'll go
I'll follow my Christ
Who loves me so
Wherever He leads, I'll go
He drew me closer to His side
I sought His will to know
And in that will I now abide
Wherever He leads, I'll go
Wherever He leads, I'll go
Wherever He leads, I'll go
I'll follow my Christ
Who loves me so
Wherever He leads, I'll go
It may be through the shadows dim
Or o'er the stormy sea
I take the cross and follow Him
Wherever He leadeth me
Wherever He leads, I'll go
Wherever He leads, I'll go
I'll follow my Christ
Who loves me so
Wherever He leads, I'll go
My heart, my life, my all I bring
To Christ who loves me so
He is my Master, Lord, and King
