MP 50 Be still for the presence of the Lord
1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
  the Holy One, is here;
  come bow before Him now
  with reverence and fear:
  in Him no sin is found –
  we stand on holy ground.
  Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
  the Holy One, is here.
2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord
  is shining all around;
  He burns with holy fire,
  with splendour He is crowned:
  how awesome is the sight –
  our radiant King of light!
  Be still, for the glory of the Lord
  is shining all around.
3. Be still, for the power of the Lord
  is moving in this place:
  He comes to cleanse and heal,
  to minister His grace -
  no work too hard for Him.
  In faith receive from Him.
  Be still, for the power of the Lord
  is moving in this place.
MP 281 I lift my eyes
1. I lift my eyes
  to the quiet hills,
  in the press of a busy day;
  as green hills stand
  in a dusty land,
  so God is my strength and stay.
2. I lift my eyes
  to the quiet hills,
  to a calm that is mine to share;
  secure and still
  in the Father’s will
  and kept by the Father’s care.
3. I lift my eyes
  to the quiet hills,
  with a prayer as I turn to sleep;
  by day, by night,
  through the dark and light
  my Shepherd will guard His sheep.
4. I lift my eyes
  to the quiet hills,
  and my heart to the Father’s throne;
  in all my ways,
  to the end of days
  the Lord will preserve His own.
MP 396 Just as I am
1. Just as I am, without one plea,
  but that Thy blood was shed for me,
  and that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
2. Just as I am, and waiting not
  to rid my soul of one dark blot,
  to Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
3. Just as I am, though tossed about
  with many a conflict, many a doubt,
  fightings within, and fears without,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
4. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
  sight, riches, healing of the mind,
  yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
  wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
  because Thy promise I believe,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
6. Just as I am, Thy love unknown
  hath broken every barrier down;
  now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
MP 25 All to Jesus I surrender
1. All to Jesus I surrender,
  all to Him I freely give;
  I will ever love and trust Him,
  in His presence daily live.
  
  I surrender all, I surrender all,
  all to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
  I surrender all.
2. All to Jesus I surrender,
  humbly at His feet I bow;
  worldly pleasures all forsaken,
  take me, Jesus, take me now.
  
  I surrender all, I surrender all,
  all to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
  I surrender all.
3. All to Jesus I surrender,
  Lord, I give myself to Thee;
  fill me with Thy love and power,
  let Thy blessing fall on me.
  
  I surrender all, I surrender all,
  all to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
  I surrender all.

MP 799 All I once held dear
1. All I once held dear,
  built my life upon,
  all this world reveres,
  and wars to own,
  all I once thought gain
  I have counted loss;
  spent and worthless now,
  compared to this:
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
2. Now my heart’s desire
  is to know You more,
  to be found in You
  and known as Yours,
  to possess by faith
  what I could not earn,
  all-surpassing gift
  of righteousness.
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
3. Oh, to know the power
  of Your risen life,
  and to know You in
  Your sufferings,
  to become like You
  in Your death, my Lord,
  so with You to live
  and never die.
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
Will Your Anchor Hold?
1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
  when the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
  When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
  will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
  
  We have an anchor that keeps the soul
  steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
  fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
  grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
2. Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
  when the breakers roar and the reef is near?
  While the surges rage, and the wild winds blow,
  shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow?
  
  We have an anchor that keeps the soul
  steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
  fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
  grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
3. Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
  when the waters cold chill your latest breath?
  On the rising tide you can never fail,
  while your anchor holds within the veil.
  
  We have an anchor that keeps the soul
  steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
  fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
  grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
4. Will your eyes behold through the morning light
  the city of gold and the harbour bright?
  Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
  when life's storms are past for evermore?
  
  We have an anchor that keeps the soul
  steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
  fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
  grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
