Christian Worship Gospel Call To The Church. Praise to God, the great Creator,Bounteous Source of every joy,He whose hand upholds all nature,He whose word can all destroy!Saints with pious zeal attending,Now the grateful tribute raise;Solemn songs, to heaven ascending,Join the universal praise.

The stars of […]

Christian Worship Death Of A Child. Thou gavest, and we yield to thee,God of the human heart!For bitter though grief’s cup may be,Thou givest but our part.

Christian Worship Blest Is The Man Who Fears The Lord Psalm 128.
