SERMON NOTES
MORNING HYMN
TIS SO SWEET
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
And to know, Thus saith the Lord
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
Neath the healing, cleansing flood
SCRIPTURE READING
ST. LUKE 15:11-24
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give
me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided
unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all
together, and took his journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine
in that land; and he began to be in want.
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that Thou art with me
Wilt be with me to the end
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired
servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger!
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust Him more
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that
the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me
as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was
yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be
called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and
shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat,
and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost,
and is found. And they began to be merry.
