for Worship
10,000 REASONS
Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning;
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before
me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger,
Your Name is great and Your heart is kind;
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still my soul sings Your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.

ALL GLORY BE TO CHRIST
Should nothing of our efforts stand, no legacy survive,

Unless the Lord does raise the house, in vain its builders
strive.
To you who boast tomorrow’s gain, tell me, what is your
life?
A mist, it vanishes at dawn, all glory be to Christ.
Chorus
All glory be to Christ our King,
All glory be to Christ.
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
His will be done, His kingdom come, On earth as is

above.
Who is Himself our daily bread, Praise Him the Lord of
love.
Let living waters satisfy the thirsty without price.
Come eat of Him, our Living Bread, all glory be to Christ.
When on the day, the great I Am, the faithful and the true,
The Lamb who was for sinner’s slain, is making all things
new.
Behold our God shall live with us, and be our steadfast
Light,
And we shall e’er his people be,

Holy, Holy, Holy!, Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to
Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy,, Merciful and Mighty!
God in three Persons, Blessèd Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden Crowns around the
glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before
Thee,
Who wert, and art, And evermore shalt be.

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not

Only Thou art holy; There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, In love, and purity.

HOW GREA THOU ART
5
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r thru-out the universe displayed!
Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When thru the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin!
When Christ shall come with shout of
acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou
art!

O WORSHIP THE KING
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds
form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the
plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
O measureless might! Ineffable love!
While angels delight to sing Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble our gaze,
With true adoration shall all shout Thy praise.
7
PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing oh earth, His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory;
Strength and honor, Give to His holy Name!
Like a Shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,
In His arms He carries Them all day long
Refrain:
Tell of His excellent greatness;
Ever in joyful song!

For our sins He suffered, And bled, and died;
He our Rock, Our Hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified.
Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows,
Love unbounded, wonderful, Deep and strong

Heav’nly portals Loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever;
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!
Christ is coming! Over the world victorious,
Pow’r and glory Unto the Lord belong
8
PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY
Praise to the Lord,

The Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him,
For He is thy Health and Salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord,
Who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings,
Yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty will do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord,
O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath,
Come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly forever adore Him.
9
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
To God be the glory, great things He hath done!

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Chorus
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has
done.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Great things He has taught us, great things He
has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see
10
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun
11
AT CALVARY
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died, On Calvary.
Chorus
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty, At
Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;

Then I trembled at the Law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned, To Calvary.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus ev’rything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing, Of
Calvary.
Oh, the love that drew salvations’s plan!
Oh, the grace that bro’t it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span, At
Calvary
AT THE CROSS
12
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away
’Tis all that I can do.
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
13
Before the Throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there! The risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace!
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God.
HIS ROBES FOR MINE

14
His robes for mine: O wonderful exchange!
Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered ‘neath God’s rage.
Draped in His righteousness, I’m justified.
In Christ I live, for in my place He died.
CHORUS:
I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
Bought by such love, my life is not my own.
My praise-my all-shall be for Christ alone.
His robes for mine: what cause have I for dread?
God’s daunting Law Christ mastered in my stead.
Faultless I stand with righteous works not mine,
Saved by my Lord’s vicarious death and life.
His robes for mine: God’s justice is appeased.

Jesus is crushed, and thus the Father’s pleased.
Christ drank God’s wrath on sin, then cried “‘Tis
done!”
Sin’s wage is paid; propitiation won.
His robes for mine: such anguish none can know.

Christ, God’s beloved, condemned as though His
foe.
He, as though I, accursed and left alone;
I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home!
HIS MERCY IS MORE
15
What love could remember no wrongs we have
done?
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their
sum.
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!
What patience would wait as we constantly
roam?
What Father, so tender, is calling us home?
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor,
Chorus
Praise the Lord! His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness, new every morn,
What riches of kindness Christ lavished on us,
His blood was the payment, His life was the
cost!
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford,
I AM THINE, O LORD
16
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Til I rest in peace with Thee.
I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED
17
I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
Chorus
But I know Whom I have believèd,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.
I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
IN CHRIST ALONE
In Christ alone my hope is
found
18
He is my Light, my Strength, There in the ground His body
my Song lay
This Cornerstone, this Solid Light of the world by
Ground darkness slain
Firm through the fiercest Then bursting forth in glorious
drought and storm day
What heights of love, what Up from the grave He rose
depths of peace again
When fears are stilled, when And as He stands in victory
strivings cease Sin’s curse has lost its grip on
My Comforter, my All in All me
Here in the love of Christ I For I am His and He is mine
stand Bought with the precious
blood of Christ
In Christ alone, Who took on
flesh No guilt in life, no fear in
Fullness of God in helpless death
Babe This is the power of Christ in
This Gift of love and me
righteousness From life’s first cry to final
Scorned by the ones He breath
came to save Jesus commands my destiny
‘Til on that cross as Jesus No power of hell, no scheme
died of man
The wrath of God was Can ever pluck me from His
satisfied hand
For every sin on Him was laid ‘Til He returns or calls me
Here in the death of Christ I home
live Here in the power of Christ I’ll
stand.
I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER
19
I will glory in my Redeemer
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails
And hung Him on that judgment tree
Who crushed the power of sin and death
My only Savior before the Holy Judge
The Lamb Who is my Righteousness
The Lamb Who is my Righteousness
My life He bought, my love He owns
I have no longings for another
I’m satisfied in Him alone
His faithfulness my standing place
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me
My feet are firm, held by His grace
My feet are firm, held by His grace
Who carries me on eagle’s wings
He crowns my life with lovingkindness
His triumph song I’ll ever sing
Who waits for me at gates of gold
And when He calls me, it will be paradise
His face forever to behold
His face forever to behold
JESUS PAID IT ALL
20
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
CHORUS
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find

Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.
MY SAVIOR’S LOVE
21
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Chorus
Oh, how marvelous! Oh, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
Oh, how marvelous! Oh, how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden
He prayed, “Not My will but Thine;”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden on Calv’ry,
And suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
‘Twill be my joy thro’ the ages
To sing of His love for me.
ROCK OF AGES
22
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
THERE IS A FOUNTAIN
23
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more.
Are saved, to sin no more,
Are saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more.
THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD
24
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
Chorus
There is power, power,
Wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power,
Wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide;
Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
Sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow;
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
25
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and
Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Chorus
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.
Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear sin on dark Calvary.
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so
divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
THE POWER OF THE CROSS
26
O, to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
Chorus
This the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us.
Took the blame, bore the wrath;
We stand forgiven at the cross.
O, to see the pain written on Your face,

Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning the bloodstained brow.
Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath
Quakes as the Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life.
“Finished!” the victory cry.
O, to see my name written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love!
Final Chorus
This the power of the cross:
Son of God slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
VICTORY IN JESUS
27
I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like
me;
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s
atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory
Chorus
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due
Him.
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow’r
revealing
How he made the lame to walk again and caused the
blind to see;
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus, come and heal my
broken spirit,”
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of
victory.
I heard about a mansion he has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal
sea;
About the angels singing and the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of
victory.
28
WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS
CROSS
When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His
feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
29
BY FAITH
By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation’s grand design,
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
Who walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts,
Of a holy city built by God’s own hand,
A place where peace and justice reign.
Chorus
We will stand as children of the promise’
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death
And rise triumphant from the grave.
By faith the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news
In every corner of the earth.
By faith this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the gospel shall prevail,
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His Name.
30
COMPLETE IN THEE
Complete in Thee! No work of mine
May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine;
Thy blood hath pardon bought for me,
And I am now complete in Thee!
Chorus
Yea, justified! O blessed thought!
And sanctified! Salvation wrought!
Thy blood hath pardon bought for me,
And glorified, I too, shall be!
Complete in Thee! No more shall sin,
Thy grace hath conquered, reign within;
Thy voice shall bid the tempter flee,
And I shall stand complete in Thee!
Complete in Thee! Each want supplied,
And no good thing to me denied;
Since Thou my portion, Lord, wilt be,
I ask no more, complete in Thee!
Dear Savior, when before Thy bar
All tribes and tongues assembled are,
Among Thy chosen will I be,
At Thy right hand, complete in Thee!
31
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me
fast.
I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful
path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.
Chorus
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.
Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me
fast;
Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast.
For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me
fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight When He comes at
last!
32
HIGHER GROUND
I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m upward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
I want to live above the world,

Though satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
33
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
I need Thee every hour, Most gracious Lord

No tender voice like Thine Can peace
afford
Chorus
I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee!
I need Thee every hour, Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power When Thou
art nigh.
I need Thee every hour, In joy, or pain;
Come quickly and abide Or life is vain.
I need Thee every hour, Teach me Thy will;
Thy promises so rich In me fulfill.
I need Thee every hour, Most Holy One,
O make me Thine indeed, Thou Blessed
Son!
34
I SURRENDER ALL
All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Chorus
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

35
When peace, like a river, Attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
Chorus
It is well, with my soul.
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should

come,
Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has
regarded
My helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood
for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss Of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, And I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day When my faith shall be
sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump
shall resound,
And the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with
my soul.
JUST AS I AM
36
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd’st me come to
Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse
each spot,
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
37
LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING
ARMS
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Chorus
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
38
MY WORTH IS NOT IN WHAT I OWN
My worth is not in what I own,
Not in the strength of flesh and bone,
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross.
My worth is not in skill or name,
In win or lose, in pride or shame,
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross.
Chorus
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul!
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
As summer flowers we fade and die,
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by,
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross.
I will not boast in wealth or might,
Or human wisdom’s fleeting light,
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross.
Two wonders here that I confess,
My worth and my unworthiness.
My value fixed – my ransom paid,
At the cross.
39
STANDING ON THE PROMISES
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Chorus
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear
assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
40
THE SOLID ROCK
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.
Chorus
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
TURN YOUR EYES
41
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Turn your eyes to the hillside

Where justice and mercy embraced
There the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased
CHORUS
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the Lion awake
What a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins
Turn your eyes to the heavens

Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout,
‘All glory to Jesus alone!’
WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN
42
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansion bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Chorus
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway

Clouds will overspread the sky,
But when trav’ling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
Let us then be true and faithful

Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
Onward to the prize before us!

Soon his beauty we’ll behold
Soon the pearly gates will open
We shall tread the streets of gold
43

ME

Yet not I, but through Christ Yet not I, but through Christ
in me in me!
44
CHRIST OUR HOPE IN LIFE AND DEATH
What is our hope in life and death?

Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.
Chorus
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death!
What truth can calm the troubled soul?

God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?

“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
45
HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
46
JESUS, THANK YOU
The mystery of the cross

I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You, the perfect Holy One,
Crushed Your Son
He drank the bitter cup
Reserved for me
Chorus
Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank you!
Your Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank you!
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank you!
By Your perfect sacrifice,
I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You made Your friend
Pouring out the riches
Of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness
know no end.

What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God.

Forever a Holy God.

Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a Holy God.

REJOICE IN THE LORD
God never moves without purpose or plan

When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord though your testing
seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.
Chorus
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
I could not see through the shadows ahead;

So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
I bowed to the will of the Master that day;
Then peace came and tears fled away.
Now I can see testing comes from above;

God strengthens His children and purges in
love.
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care;
Through purging more fruit I will bear.

All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world, from the shining courts

above,
The Beloved One, His Only Son,
Was giv’n to show God’s love.
This is my Father’s world: why should my heart be
sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav’n be one.
66
GRACE GREATER THAN OUR SIN
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.
Refrain:
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,

Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide;

What can we do to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,

Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
67
O LORD MY ROCK AND MY REDEEMER
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer

Greatest treasure of my longing soul
My God, like You there is no other
True delight is found in You alone
Your grace, a well too deep to fathom
Your love exceeds the heavens’ reach
Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom
My highest good and my unending need

Strong defender of my weary heart
My sword to fight the cruel deceiver
And my shield against his hateful darts
My song when enemies surround me
My hope when tides of sorrow rise
My joy when trials are abounding
Your faithfulness, my refuge in the night

Gracious Savior of my ruined life
My guilt and cross laid on Your shoulders
In my place You suffered bled and died
You rose, the grave and death are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
May all my days bring glory to Your Name
68
I RUN TO CHRIST
I run to Christ when chased by fear and find a
refuge sure.
“Believe in me,” His voice I hear; His words and
wounds secure.
I run to Christ when torn by grief and find abundant
peace.
“I too had tears,” He gently speaks; Thus joy and
sorrow meet.
I run to Christ when worn by life and find my soul

refreshed.
“Come unto Me,” He calls thu strife; fatigue gives
way to rest.
I run to Christ when vexed by hell and find a mighty
arm.
“The Devil flees,” the Scriptures tell; He roars, but
cannot harm.
I run to Christ when stalked by sin and find a sure

escape.
“Deliver me,” I cry to Him; temptation yields to
grace.
I run to Christ when plagued by shame and find my
one defense.
“I bore God’s wrath,” He pleads my case—my
Advocate and Friend.

FOR YOU ALONE
You are the peace that guards my heart

My help in time of need
You are the hope that leads me on
And brings me to my knees
For there I find You waiting
And there I find relief
So with all my heart I'll worship
And unto You Ill sing
Chorus
For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we worship and adore You
Father we long to see Your face
For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we love You
And we worship You this day
70
AS THE DEER
As the deer panteth for the water

So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee
Chorus
You alone are my Strength, my Shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.
You’re my Friend and You are my

Brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything
I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy-giver
And the apple of my eye
YOU ARE MY ALL IN ALL
71
You are my Strength when I am weak.
You are the Treasure that I seek.
You are my All in all.
Seeking You as a precious Jewel,
Lord to give up I’d be a fool.
You are my All in all!
Chorus
Jesus, Lamb of God,
worthy is Your Name.
Jesus, Lamb of God,
worthy is Your Name.
Taking my cross my sin my shame,
Rising again I praise Your Name.
When I fall down You lift me up.
When I am dry You fill my cup.
When the dark powers had done their worst
Jesus brought victory o’er the curse.
Death could not hold the King of kings.
Now to His heirs new life He brings.
ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
72
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
O that with yonder sacred throng,

We at His feet may fall,
We’ll join the everlasting song,
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
GLORY TO HIS NAME
73
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried;
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
Chorus
Glory to His name, Glory to His name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,

Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name!
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,

I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name!
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;

Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His name!
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
74
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in
prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in
prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord
in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord
in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in
prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee; thou wilt find
a solace there.
SEND THE LIGHT
75
There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Refrain:
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, and let its radiant beams
Light the world forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,

And a golden off’ring at the cross we lay,
Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,

And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
Let us not grow weary in the work of love,

Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
BEHOLD OUR GOD

76
Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice
CHORUS
Behold our God seated on His throne
Come, let us adore Him
Behold our King! Nothing can compare
Come, let us adore Him!
Who has given counsel to the Lord?

Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One Who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?
Who has felt the nails upon His hands

Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!
TAG
Men: You will reign forever
Women: Let Your glory fill the earth
ACROSS THE LANDS

77
You’re the Word of God the Father,
From before the world began;
Every star and every planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice:
Let the skies declare Your glory,
Let the land and seas rejoice!
Chorus
You’re the Author of creation,
You’re the Lord of every man;
And Your cry of love rings out
Across the lands.
Yet You left the gaze of angels,

Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer You fed the hungry,
With a word You stilled the sea.
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free.
With a shout You rose victorious,

Wresting victory from the grave,
And ascended into heaven
Leading captives in Your wake.
Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own.
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home.
KNOWING YOU, JESUS
78
All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres and wars to own;
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
Spent and worthless now compared to this.
Chorus
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing
You’re my all, You’re the best
You’re my joy, my righteousness,
And I love You Lord.
Now my heart’s desire is to know You

more,
To be found in You and known as Yours,
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
Oh to know the power of Your risen life,

And to know You in Your sufferings;
To become like You in Your death, my
Lord,
So with You to live and never die.
WHATE’ER MY GOD ORDAINS IS RIGHT
79
Whate'er my God ordains Whate'er my God ordains
is right is right
His holy will abideth Though now this cup in
I will be still whate'er He drinking
does May bitter seem to my
And follow where He faint heart
guideth I take it all, unshrinking
He is my God, though My God is true, each
dark my road morn anew
He holds me that I shall Sweet comfort yet shall fill
not fall my heart
And so to Him I leave it all And pain and sorrow shall
And so to Him I leave it all depart
Whate'er my God ordains And pain and sorrow shall
is right depart
He never will deceive me Whate'er my God ordains
He leads me by the is right
proper path Here shall my stand be
I know He will not leave taken
me Though sorrow, need, or
I take, content, what He death be mine
has sent Yet I am not forsaken
His hand can turn my My Father's care is round
griefs away me there
And patiently I wait His He holds me that I shall
day not fall
And patiently I wait His And so to Him I leave it all
day And so to Him I leave it
all
80
WE’VE A STORY TO TELL
We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and mercy,
A story of peace and light,
A story of peace and light.
Refrain:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright;
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
We’ve a song to be sung to the nations,

That shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
A song that shall conquer evil
And shatter the spear and sword,
And shatter the spear and sword.
We’ve a message to give to the nations,

That the Lord who reigns up above
Has sent us His Son to save us
And show us that God is love,
And show us that God is love.
We’ve a Savior to show to the nations,

Who the path of sorrow has trod,
That all of the world’s great peoples
Might come to the truth of God,
Might come to the truth of God.
81
ABOVE ALL
Above all powers

Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began
Above all kingdoms

Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth
Chorus
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
82
REFORMATION HYMN
We will trust God’s Word alone,

Where his perfect will is known;
Our traditions shift like sand
While his Truth forever stands.
We will live by faith alone,

Clothed in merit not our own;
All we claim is Jesus Christ
And his finished sacrifice.
Chorus:
Glory be, glory be to God alone,
Through the church he redeemed and made his
own.
He has freed us, he will keep us till we’re safely
home
Glory be, glory be to God alone!
We are saved by grace alone—

Undeserved, yet freely shown;
No accomplishment on earth
Can achieve the second birth.
We will stand on Christ alone,

The unyielding Cornerstone;
Nations rage and devils roar,
Still he reigns forevermore!
83
LORD, I OFFER MY LIFE
All that I am, all that I have

I lay them down before You, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours
Chorus
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through, use it for Your
glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing
sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen

Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You
84
MAY AWIT ANG KASING-KASING KO
Mag-awit ang kasing-kasing ko,

Gisaaran ko ni Jesus;
Dili ka mahadlok, ‘ni Ko,
Akong ubanan ikaw.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Ngalan nga Mahal,
Nagtagbaw kanako sa tanang pangandoy ko.
Kanhi napuno ko sa sala,

Ang Ginoo akong gitawag,
Ug gilipay N’ya ako.
Sa kadato sa Iyang grasya,
Duna koy kapahulayan;
Akong daygon ug awitan S’ya,
Hangtud S’ya Makita ko.
Unya S’ya moanhi pag-usab,
Aron pagdala kanako
Sa himaya Niya dad-on ko.
Kuyog sa paghari N’ya.

Ang kalag ko may kahayag na
Ug kalipay nga bug-us
Ang kangitngit akong likayan
Suga ko si Jesus.

May kahayag nga bulahan
Ug kalipay nga hilabihan
Nawong ni Jesus ang nagsidlak
Ang kalag ko hayag na
Ang kalag ko nagaawit na

Ug nagdayeg sa Hari ko
Nanimati si Jesus karon
Sa alawiton ko.
Ang kalag ko may kabago na

Kuyog man sa Ginoo
May kalinaw’ng kasingkasing ko
Nahanaw’ng kaguol
Ang kalag ko may kalipay na

May pagtuo, gugma man
Ang mahal nga panalangin nya
Kanako gihatag
DASIGA KAMI

Giday’g namo Ka, O Ginoong Jesus
Nga nagpakamatay ug nabanhaw
gayud.
Koro:
Aleluya, Aleluya
Mahimayaon Ka
Aleluya, Aleluya
Dasiga kami.
Salamat, O Diyos Kay kahayag Ikaw

Nga nagtultol kanamo sa kaluwasan
Dalaygon Siya Ang Cordero sa Dios

Nga maoy nakahinlo sa nakasala
Dasiga kami Ug sa gugma pun-a

Kay kalag namo Nagamabugnawon
na
MATINUD-ANON KA
87
Matinud-anon Ka, Dios Amahan ko!
Dili gayud mabalhinon Ikaw;
Di ka mopakyas sa imong kaluoy,
Sa kahangturan Ka mausab.
Coro:
“Matinud-anon Ka!” Matinud-anon Ka!”
Nagapadayon ang kaluoy mo;
Gihatag mong akong gikinahanglan,
Matinumanon Ka, Ginoo ko!
Ang adlaw, bulan ug kabituonan,

ang pagpugas ingon ang pag-ani,
Nanaghiusa sa ilang pagsaksi,
Sa imong gugma ug kaluoy man.
Kapasayloan ug dayong kalinaw,

ug ang kanunay nga pagmando Mo;
Naa kanimo paglaum kusog ko,
Ang panalangin mo ako gayud.
SA IYA NGA BANDILA
88
Alang sa kasundaluhan ni Jesus
May bandilang gihatag
Ipakayab ta sa itaas kini
Samtang magaawit ta
Coro:
Magpadayon kita!
Kang Kristo na ang pagdaug!
Magahago ta, mag-awit
Sa Iya nga bandila
Bisan daghan ang mga kaaway ta

Bandila ipataas
Ug kitang kasundaluhan ni Jesus
Sa kaisog muasdang
Ato nga adtoon ang mga dapit

Ug saysayan ta sila
Isugilon ang grasyang makaluwas
Samtang nagaawhag Siya
Mga adlaw nagakahaduol na

Nga mubalik si Jesus
Ug laglagon Niya ang kaaway ta
Magahari na Siya
IKAW ANG KUSOG
89
Ikaw ang kusog kanako
Kalipay ug dalangpanan
Moabot man ang problema
Wala’y makapahimulag
Refrain
Wala’y maikakumpara
Sa Imong gugma
Chorus
Unsa man kalayo ang langit
Gugma Mo para sa tanan
Mulohud ako sa tiilan Mo
Mosimba Kanimo O Dios
Unsa man kalayo ang langit
Gugma Mo para sa tanan
Ikaw akong Dios
Ikaw ang kusog
Ang kalipay ko

Hymns and

Should nothing of our efforts stand, no legacy survive,

His will be done, His kingdom come, On earth as is

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,

High King of Heaven, my victory won,

Come, Thou Fount of every Interposed His Precious

Here I raise my Ebenezer; O that day when freed from

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

HOW GREA THOU ART

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Praise to the Lord,

To God be the glory, great things He hath done!

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

The Lord has promised good to me,

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;

HIS ROBES FOR MINE

His robes for mine: God’s justice is appeased.

His robes for mine: such anguish none can know.

HIS MERCY IS MORE

I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED

I know not how this saving faith

I know not how the Spirit moves,

I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER

Lord, now indeed I find

THE POWER OF THE CROSS

O, to see the pain written on Your face,

When I survey the wondrous cross

By faith we see the hand of God

I’m pressing on the upward way,

My heart has no desire to stay

I want to live above the world,

I need Thee every hour, Most gracious Lord

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should

My sin, oh, the bliss Of this glorious thought!

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

When darkness veils His lovely face,

Turn your eyes to the hillside

Turn your eyes to the heavens

WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

While we walk the pilgrim pathway

Let us then be true and faithful

Onward to the prize before us!

What is our hope in life and death?

What truth can calm the troubled soul?

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?

The mystery of the cross

My great Physician heals

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?

What other beauty demands such praises?

What other glory consumes like fire?

Who else could rescue me from my failing?

Wonderful, merciful Savior
