This Is Our Prayer
1. Joy comes to those who have trusted You, Lord, for salvation,
those who obey Your commands with unfeigned adoration.
This is our prayer: make us more fully aware
holiness is our vocation.

2. Joy comes to those who have brought up their children to fear You,
joy to observe how they live by the truth and revere You.
This is our prayer, Lord, for those under our care:
may they be constantly near You.

3. Joy comes to those who find bountiful giving a pleasure,
those who see justice and kindness as riches to treasure.
This is our prayer: Lord, make us eager to share;
make Your compassion our measure.

4. Joy comes to those who are sure they will not be forsaken,
those with no malice that life with its pains might awaken.
This is our prayer: when those who scorn You despair,
Lord, let our faith be unshaken.
 
  
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 way.
Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own.
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home.
 
 
God, the Uncreated One
1. God the uncreated One, the Author of salvation
Who wrote the laws of space and time
And fashioned worlds to His design
The One whom angel hosts revere
Hung the stars like chandeliers
Numbered every grain of sand
Knows the heart of every man
He is King forever, He is King forever
He is King forevermore.

2. God our fortress and our strength
The Rock on which we can depend
Matchless in His majesty, His power and authority
Unshaken by the schemes of man
Never changing Great I am
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
He is faithful through it all
Crown Him King forever, crown Him King forever
Crown Him King forevermore.

3. Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor's kiss
The curse of sin and centuries did
Pierce the lowly Prince of Peace
O lifted high, the sinless man
They crucified the spotless Lamb
Buried by the sons of man but He was
Rescued by the Father's hand
To reign as King forever, reign as King forever
Reign as King forevermore.

4. King eternal, God of grace
We crown You with the highest praise
Heaven shouts and saints adore
You're holy, holy, holy Lord
What joy in everlasting life
When all is love and faith is sight
Justice rolls and praises rise at the name of Jesus Christ
King of kings forever, King of kings forever
King of kings forevermore
You’re the King of kings forever, King of kings forever
King of kings forevermore.
  
 
Fairest Lord Jesus
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.
 
 
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
1. "Man of Sorrows!" what a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 
2. Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood,
Sealed my pardon with His blood;
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 
3. Guilty, vile and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! can it be?
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 
4. Lifted up was He to die,
"It is finished," was His cry;
Now in heav'n exalted high:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 
5. When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
