weekend worship at 2nd Presbyterian

Photobucket

Dear Friends, at the bottom of this page you will find a box where you can select your favorite style of music and I have also included one for my Church of Christ friends which features just vocal instruments--all the same song, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing--because He is the Source of all things good. BTW, I took these pictures last fall, hence the leaves. The heat is unsufferable here in Arkansas--hope this will give us a little hope for fall and cooler temperatures.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

Photobucket

and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4 NIV


Photobucket

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.



Photobucket

Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Photobucket



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, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

Photobucket


O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;

Photobucket

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.

  1. How I love the lyrics to that
    wonderful hymn; a long-time
    favorite. The pictures that
    accompany it are just as
    amazing as always. It has
    been very hot here in NC, too.
    Temperatures in the 90's are
    not that common for us.
    We're waiting for the crispness
    and beauty of fall.
    Love,
    Sandy

  7. Your pictures just leave me in AWE each and every week! Such beauty. Such Worship.

    Makes me long for Fall. Summer is my favorite time of year but as the heat drags and school time nears I find myself so ready for the season to change and the crisp fall mornings to come :) God blesses us and amazes me sooo!

    I pray you are having a blessed weekend!

    Love you

  12. Hi again, Diane. Thank you for your nice comments on my blog. No, Lineform didn't come with my computer. I bought it shortly after I bought the computer (on line). I think it is $69 or $79. It has been well worth it. As I say, I use it almost every day for something.
    Hugs,
    Charlotte

  13. What beautiful pictures again. I always look forward looking at your Church of choice. I'm a member of a Church of Christ, but I love the musical instruments.
    Blessings,
