173 Not what these hands have done
174 There is a fountain filled with blood
175 Just as I am, without one plea
176 Weary of earth and laden with my sin
177 Dear Lord, I now respond to thy sweet call
178 Weary of wandering far from my God
179 There is a holy sacrifice
180 Show pity, Lord

240 Savior, blessed Savior
241 Forward be our watchword
242 O the bitter shame and sorrow

Brotherly Love
243 Blest be the tie that binds

281 Through the love of God our Savior
282 Eternal beam of light divine
283 Lord, it belongs not to my care
284 When I survey life's varied scene
285 Thy way, not mine, O Lord
286 I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
287 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart
288 My times are in thy hand

603 The day is done, O God the Son
