Rejoice, the Lord Is King
1 Rejoice, the Lord is King:
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


2 Jesus, the Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains,
He took his seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


3 His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv'n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


4 Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord and judge shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

 
 
Ask Ye What Great Thing I Know
1 Ask ye what great thing I know,
That delights and stirs me so?
What the high reward I win?
Whose the Name I glory in?
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

2 Who defeats my fiercest foes?
Who consoles my saddest woes?
Who revives my fainting heart,
Healing all its hidden smart?
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

3 Who is life in life to me?
Who the death of death will be?
Who will place me on His right,
With the countless hosts of light?
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

4 This is that great thing I know;
This delights and stirs me so;
Faith in Him Who died to save,
Him Who triumphed o'er the grave
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

 
 
The Secret Place
1 Who dwells within His most secret place,
Is never far from His blessed grace.
'Neath His great shadow all will be well,
No better place now for us to dwell.


Refrain:
The secret place of God Most High,
The shadow of our mighty King.
The dwelling place where angels cry
Is where our praise will forever ring.


2 Fear not the terror that comes at night,
Nor flaming arrows by morning light.
His truth is always our sword and shield
Against His power, all foes must yield.


3 A thousand fall now at ev'ry side,
Ten thousand more may have yet to die
Yet plague and sword can ne'er kill the soul,
His angels guard us now safe and whole.


4 Refuge and fortress for all who trust,
No safer pasture for men of dust.
'Neath wings and feathers of Holy Lord,
No greater comfort can He afford.



Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross
Near the cross!
O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me.

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.


Go to Dark Gethsemane
1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
All who feel the tempter's pow'r;
Your Redeemer's conflict see;
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away;
Learn from Jesus Christ to pray.


2 Follow to the judgment hall;
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O, the wormwood and the gall!
O, the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss;
Learn from Him to bear the cross.


3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete.
"It is finished!" hear Him cry;
Learn from Jesus Christ to die.


4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless clay,
All is solitude and gloom,
Who has taken Him away?
Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise.

 
 
He Keeps Me Singing
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
Trials fall across the way;
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.

​
Across the Lands
1 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!
 
Refrain
You’re the Author of creation,
You’re the Lord of every man;
And Your cry of love rings out
Across the lands.
 
2 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.
 
3 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.
 
  
We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer
1 We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before You, we kneel and adore You,
We bless Your holy name, glad praises we sing.
 
2 We worship You, God of our fathers, we bless You;
Thro' life's storm and tempest our Guide You have been.
When perils o'er-take us You will not forsake us,
And with Your help, O Lord, our battles we win.
 
3 With voices united our praises we offer,
And gladly our songs of thanksgiving we raise.
With You, Lord, beside us, Your strong arm will guide us.
To You, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
 

O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me.
Underneath me, all around me,
Is the current of Thy love;
Leading onward, leading home-ward,
To my glorious rest above.
 
3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Love of ev'ry love the best!
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing,
'Tis a haven sweet of rest.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me;
And it lifts me up to glory,
For it lifts me up to Thee.
 
 
Savior, Like a shepherd Lead Us
4 Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our beings fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
 
 
Be Thou My Vision
1 Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
be all else but naught to me, save that Thou art;
be Thou my best thought in the day and the night,
both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light.
 
2 Be Thou my Wisdom, be Thou my true Word;
be Thou ever with me and I with Thee, Lord;
be Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son,
be Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
 
3 Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;
be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might;
be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r,
O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r.
 
4 Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
be Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart,
O High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
 
5 High King of heaven, Thou heaven's bright Sun,
O grant me its joys, after vict'ry is won;
Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be Thou my Vision, O Ruler of all.
 
Love Lifted Me
3 Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love out of the angry waves;
He's the master of the sea, billows His will obey;
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.
 
Refrain:
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.

O give to Jehovah
1 O give to Jehovah, you sons of the mighty,
O give to Jehovah the glory and pow'r.
O give to Jehovah the honor and glory;
in beauty of holiness kneel and adore.
 
2 The voice of Jehovah comes down on the waters;
in thunder the God of all glory draws nigh.
And over the waves of the wide flowing waters
Jehovah as King is majestic on high!
 
3 The voice of Jehovah is mighty, is mighty;
the voice of Jehovah in majesty speaks.
The voice of Jehovah the cedars is breaking;
Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks.
 
4 All life in His temple, His glory proclaiming--
God sits on the flood; He is King on His throne.
Jehovah gives strength to His own chosen people;
Jehovah with peace ever blesses His own.
 
 
Arise, My Soul, Arise
1 Arise, my soul, arise; shake off your guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears:
Before the throne my Surety stands,
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.

2 Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me:
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”

3 The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away, the presence of His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.

4 To God I’m reconciled; His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear:
With confidence I now draw nigh,
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

 
 
Gaze on the Christ
1 Behold the Lamb, the spotless Lamb,
Who takes away our sin;
The debt we faced was not erased,
But paid in full by Him.
 
Chorus:
Gaze on the Christ, our sacrifice
On altar made of wood.
Exalt the Lamb, the worthy Lamb,
Who bought us with His blood.
 
2 Behold the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb,
Who takes away the veil;
His body torn, His soul forlorn,
Christ cut to God a trail.
 
3 Behold the Lamb, the dying Lamb,
Who takes away just wrath;
God saw the blood of His beloved
And over us has passed.
 
4 Behold the Lamb, the risen Lamb,
Who takes away death’s sting;
All knees shall bend, all praise ascend
To Christ, the living King.
 
Nothing but the Blood
3 Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Nothing good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

 
 
Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer
1 Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labor through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
And I'll follow, though I'm worn.
 
Refrain:
May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.
 
2 Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.
 
3 Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go -
at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.
 
Blessed Be the Name
2 Jesus, the name that calms my fear,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
 
Refrain:
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
