3. O, Gracious God, Thy Pleasure O, Gracious God, Thy pleasure is in Thy Christ made known, And tells the boundless measure Of blessing for Thine own.

4. He has Thy presence entered, As man in heaven is known; In Him Thy glory’s centered; In Him Thy purpose shown.

5. And O, what love is beaming – Shines brightly in that face! What blessed light is streaming From that most glorious place!

6. Both love and light proclaiming What Thou, the Father, art; And wondrous grace revealing, With Thine own Son, our part.

7. Jesus! God in flesh condemned to death! Jesus! Dead to sin, and alive in Him!

8. Thou source of every blessing! Thou spring of all delight! Thy Name with joy confessing, Let all the saints unite,

9. Each heart its praise outpouring “To Thee all praise above!” Each voice in strains adoring, Re-echoes “God is love!”

10. Jesus! God in flesh condemned to death! Jesus! Dead to sin, and alive in Him!

11. When my heart is failing; When eyes at last are closed I shall ever be proclaiming Thy glories ‘round Thy throne.

12. To our great God and Father, All wisdom and power belong, Immortal crowns of honor, And everlasting song!

34. Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed? Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred For sinners such as I?

35. Was it for sins that I had done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree!

36. Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glory in, When Christ, the Great Redeemer, died For man, the creature’s, sin

37. Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness And melt my eyes to tears.

38. Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred For sinners such as I?

39. Was it for sins that I had done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree – beyond degree. “Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed” (1707) Words: Isaac Watts Arr: Wayfarer CCLI: 11148322

42. MEANING (LESS): Playing with Matches and Firecrackers Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 Sermon notes @ http://bible.com/e/137o

43. Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.2 I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?” 3 I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life. 

44. 4 I made great works. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself. 5 I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees. 6 I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, the delight of the sons of man.

45. 9 So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. 10 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

46. Ecclesiastes 2:1 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity. 

47. Ecclesiastes 2:2 I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?”

48. Ecclesiastes 2:3 I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

49. Ecclesiastes 2:4-6 I made great works. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself. 5I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees. 6 I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees. 

50. Ecclesiastes 2:7-8 I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, the delight of the sons of man.
