O Worship the King

O worship the King

All glorious above

O gratefully sing

His pow'r and His love

Our Shield and Defender

The Ancient of Days

Pavilion'd in splendour

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 thunder-clouds 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 distils

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

 

Every Promise of Your Word
From the breaking of the dawn
to the setting of the sun
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
Words of power strong to save,
that will never pass away
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
For Your covenant is sure
and on this I am secure
I can stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word


When I stumble and I sin,
condemnation pressing in
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
You are faithful to forgive
that in freedom I might live
so I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
Guilt to innocence restored,
You remember sins no more
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word


When I'm faced with anguished choice,
I will listen for Your voice
And I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
Through this dark and troubled land
You will guide me with Your hand
As I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word

And You've promised to complete
ev'ry work begun in me
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word


Hope that lifts me from despair,
love that casts out ev'ry fear
As I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
Not forsaken, not alone,
for the Comforter has come
And I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word
Grace sufficient, grace for me,
grace for all who will believe
We will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word

 

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.


But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust;
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust.


Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sov’reign grace
Be deaf when I complain?
No, still the ear of sov’reign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer;
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there.


Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat;
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.
Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat;
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.

 

HOM: What a Friend We Have in Jesus

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 thy 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

 

And Can It Be

And can it be that I should gain

An int'rest in the Saviour's blood

Died He for me who caused His pain

For me who Him to death pursued

Amazing love how can it be

That Thou my God shouldst die for me

 

He left His Father's throne above

So free so infinite His grace

Emptied Himself of all but love

And bled for His chosen race

'Tis mercy all immense and free

For O my God it found out me

 

Long my imprisoned spirit lay

Fast bound in sin and nature's night

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray

I woke the dungeon flamed with light

My chains fell off my heart was free

I rose went forth and followed Thee

 

No condemnation now I dread

Jesus and all in Him is mine

Alive in Him my living head

And clothed in righteousness divine

Bold I approach the eternal throne

And claim the crown through Christ my own
