Come, Praise and Glorify

1 Come praise and glorify our God,
The Father of our Lord.
In Christ He has, in heavenly realms,
His blessings on us poured.
For pure and blameless in His sight
He destined us to be,
And now we’ve been adopted through
His Son eternally.

Refrain:
To the praise of Your glory, to the praise of Your mercy and grace,
To the praise of Your glory: You are the God Who saves!

2 Come praise and glorify our God,
Who gives His grace in Christ.
In Him our sins are washed away,
Redeemed through sacrifice.
In Him God has made known to us
The mystery of His will:
That Christ should be the Head of all,
His purpose to fulfill.

3 Come praise and glorify our God,
For we’ve believed the Word;
And through our faith we have a seal:
The Spirit of the Lord.
The Spirit guarantees our hope
Until redemption’s done,
Until we join in endless praise
To God, the Three in One!

Let Us Love and sing and Wonder
1 Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior’s name!
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.
He has washed us with His blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.

2 Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace, and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes:
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.

3 Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror’s crown:
He who washed us with His blood
Soon will bring us home to God.

4 Let us wonder! grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store;
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more:
He who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God.

5 Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high;
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky:
Thou hast washed us with Your blood;
Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
1 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.

2 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.

3 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.


Have thine Own Way, Lord
1 Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Thou art the potter,
I am the clay!
Mold me and make me
After Thy will,
While I am waiting,
Yielded and still.

2 Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me,
Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord,
Wash me just now,
As in Thy presence
Humbly I bow.

3 Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary,
Help me, I pray!
Power, all power
Surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me,
Savior divine.

4 Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being
Absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit
Till all shall see
Christ only, always,
Living in me.


May the Mind of Christ, My Savior
1 May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
live in me from day to day,
by His love and pow'r controlling
all I do and say.

2 May the word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through His pow'r.

3 May the peace of God my Father
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.

4 May the love of Jesus fill me
as the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing:
this is victory.

5 May I run the race before me,
strong and brave to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.

6 May His beauty rest upon me
as I seek the lost to win,
and may they forget the channel,
seeing only Him.


Victory in Jesus
3 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.
​
 Refrain:
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.

Praise Him! Praise Him!
1 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O 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:
Praise Him! Praise Him! tell of His excellent greatness!
Praise Him! praise Him! ever in Praise song!

2 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
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!

3 Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heavenly 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;
Power and glory unto the Lord belong!

I Know Whom I Have Believed
1 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.

Refrain:
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."

2 I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart;
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.

3 I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin;
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.

4 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.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way
From the burning of the noontide heat
And the burden of the day.

2 Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess:
The wonders of His glorious love
And my unworthiness.

3 I take, O Cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain or loss,
My sinful self– my only shame,
My glory– all the cross.

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Jesus' name,
O Savior of mankind!

3 O Hope of every contrite heart!
O Joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

4 But what to those who find? ah! this,
No tongue or pen can show
The love of Jesus, what it is--
None but His loved ones know.

I Greet Thee, Who My sure Redeemer Art
1 I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
my only trust and Savior of my heart,
who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.

2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.

3 Thou art the Life, by which alone we live,
and all our substance and our strength receive;
O comfort us in death's approaching hour,
strong-hearted then to face it by Thy pow'r.

4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness hast Thou and no bitterness:
make us to taste the sweet grace found in Thee
and ever stay in Thy sweet unity.

5 Our hope is in no other save in Thee;
our faith is built upon Thy promise free;
O grant to us such stronger hope and sure
that we can boldly conquer and endure.

How Great Thou Art

4 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!"
​
Refrain:
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!

Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing;
Alleluia! Alleluia! praise the everlasting King.

2 Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.

3 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish;
blows the wind and it is gone;
but, while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on:
Alleluia! Alleuluia! Praise the high eternal One.

4 Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Saints triumphant, bow before Him;
gathered in from ev'ry race;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.

There Is a Higher Throne
1 There is a higher throne
than all this world has known,
where faithful ones from every tongue
will one day come.
Before the Son we’ll stand,
made faultless through the Lamb;
believing hearts find promised grace;
salvation comes.

Refrain:
Hear Heaven’s voices sing;
their thunderous anthem rings
through emerald courts and sapphire skies;
their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, power,
strength, thanks and honor are to God our King
who reigns on high
forever more.

2 And there we’ll find our home;
our life before the throne.
We’ll honor him in perfect song
where we belong.
He’ll wipe each tear-stained eye
as thirst and hunger die.
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King;
we’ll reign with Him.

All Glory Be to Christ
1 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 that vanishes at dawn --
all glory be to Christ!

Refrain:
All glory be to Christ, our King.
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!

2 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 water satisfy
the thirsty without price,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
all glory be to Christ!

3 When on the day the great I AM,
the Faithful and the True,
the Lamb who was for sinners 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.
All glory be to Christ!


He Will Hold Me Fast
1 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.

Refrain:
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast,
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast.

2 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.

3 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.
'Til our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last.

My Savior’s Love
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

Chorus:
How marvelous!
How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous!
How wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!

The Earth Is the Lord’s
1 The earth is the Lord's and all it contains;
The world, and all those who dwell on its plains.
Upon the dark seas, its foundations are laid;
And deep in the rivers, its moorings are stayed.

2 And who shall ascend the hill of the Lord,
Or who, then, shall stand at rest in His ward:
The one with clean hands and the purest of heart,
Who speaks not in vain, nor a falsehood imparts.

3 This one shall from God His blessing receive;
And righteousness be His gracious reprieve.
To all generations who seek for His face,
Almighty Jehovah shall pour out His grace.

4 O rise, ancient doors! Be lifted, ye gates!
And welcome your King; prepare His estate!
And who is this King, in His glorious might?
The Lord firm in battle and strong in the fight.

5 O lift up your heads, ye portals of old!
And welcome your King; His glory behold!
And who can it be, this our glorious King?
The Lord God of hosts, whose great glory we sing!

Onward March, All-Conquering Jesus
1 Onward march, all conqu'ring Jesus,
Gird Thee on Thy mighty sword;
Sinful earth can ne'er oppose Thee;
Hell itself must dread Thy Word.
Thy great Name is so exalted.
Ev'ry foe shrinks back in fear;
Terror creeps through all creation
When it knows that Thou art near.

2 Free my soul from sin's foul bondage;
Hasten now the glorious dawn;
Break proud Babel's gates in sunder;
Let the massive bolts be drawn.
Forth, like ocean's heaving surges,
Bring in myriad ransomed slaves,
Host on host, with shouts of triumph,
Endless, countless as the waves.

3 E'en today I hear sweet music,
Praises of a blood-freed throng;
Full deliv'rance, glorious freedom,
Are there themes for endless song.
Whiter than the snow their raiment,
Victor palms they wave on high,
As they pass, with fullest glory,
Into life's felicity.

4 How my raptured soul rejoices
That the jubilee is near;
Ev'ry word will be accomplished
Spoken by our Saviour here.
North and South, in countless myriads,
From earth's darkest ends they come,
With the dance and gladsome music,
Into heav'n's eternal home.


I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quench'd, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light:
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I'll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.

’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
1 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

Rock of Ages
1 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;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

2 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.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the 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.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall 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.

I Love to tell the Story
I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it, like the rest:
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.

I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.
