Jesus, With Thy Church Abide + 1 New Songs
We opened up our first service for this new year the same way we opened up our very first worship service together as a church, by praying together to God, by song, for help. The song we sang is called “Jesus, With Thy Church Abide” (and I [Jason Delgado] took the liberty to put the lyrics into first person so it makes it more of a prayer from the church to God).

Jesus, with Thy Church Abide
Original Lyrics: Thomas B. Pollock (1871)
Edited Lyrics: Jason Delgado (2007)
Music: Christopher Miner (1997)
Jesus, with Thy church abide;
Be our Savior, Lord, and Guide,
While on earth our faith is tried:
We beseech Thee, hear us,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
-
Keep our life and doctrine pure;
Grant us patience to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:
We beseech Thee, hear us,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
-
May we one in doctrine be,
One in truth and charity,
Winning all to faith in Thee:
We beseech Thee, hear us,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
-
Raise us to our calling high,
Let the nations far and nigh,
Hear Thy heralds’ warning cry:
We beseech Thee, hear us,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
-
May our lamp of truth be bright,
Help us bear aloft its light,
Through the realms of heathen night:
We beseech Thee, hear us,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
-
Often sorrow, often woe,
onward Christian, onward go!

Also, below is 1 new recording we got from a past worship services (hymn music and new chorus by our very own Pastor Emilio Ramos):
