Christ's is the Victory

Now dwelling in the halls of light, Ye Christian leaders rise,
And press the battle here below: the Lord is on our side!
Against the foe in vales below, let all His strength be hurled;
Christ's is the victory we know, that's overcome the world!

chorus

His banner over us is love, our sword the Word of God,
We tread the road the saints who sleep, with shouts of triumph trod.
Salvation's helmet on each head, with Truth all girt about;
The One by Whom they conquered death is still our shining Shield

chorus

On every hand the foe we find, drawn up in dread array;
The tents of ease we've left behind, so onward to the fray!
Salvations helmet on each head, with truth all girt about:
The earth doth tremble 'neath our tread and echo with our shout!

chorus

To them that overcame the world, white raiment has been giv'n;
before the angels we have known our name confessed in Heav'n.
Then onward on the hills of Light, our hearts with Love aflame;
We vanquish all the hosts of night, in Jesus conquering Name!

Christ's is the victory, Christ's is the victory:
O glorious victory that's overcome the world

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory , Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee, hail Thee as the Son of love.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal glad- Thou'st filled us with the light of Day!

All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heav'n reflect Thy rays,
Stars, like angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain, bloss'ming meadow, flashing sea;
Chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living, ocean-depth of glori'us rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother- all who live in Love are Thine:
Teach us more to love each other, lift us with Thy joy divine.

Now ' we've joined the mighty chorus which the morning stars began;
Father-love is reining o'er all, brother-love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music lifts us Son-ward, in the triumph song of Life!

Victory In Jesus

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, and His precious blood's atoning,
Though I repented of my sins; He'd won the victory!

chorus

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 when I cried "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit":
Graciously He came, and brought to me the victory.


chorus

I heard about the mansion, He has built for His own glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold, that He now walks with me;
About the the angels singing,-- the full redemptive story,
And with the 'ternal saints up there, I sing the victory.

chorus

O, victory in Jesus, my Saviour, forever!
He bought me and sought me, with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him;
He plunged me to victory through His redeeming blood!

Love Divine ( a fufilled rev. by CHS )

Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n, to earth come down;
Fixed in us 'Thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crowned!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion, pure un-bounded love Thou art;
Visit'd us with Thy salvation, entered ev'ry trembling heart!

Thou didst breathe Thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast!
We do all in Thee inherit, and have gain-ed Thy true rest.
Take away our bent to sinning, we do humbly beg of Thee;
End of faith, as it's beginning, Thou hast truly set us free!

Come, almighty to deliver, we have all Thy life received;
Thou hast come and dwelt among, nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we shall be always blessing, serve Thee with Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love!

Finish'd then, Thy new creation, pure and spotless in Thy sight;
We have seen Thy great salvation, perfectly restored in Thee:
Changed from glory unto glory, now in Thee we've tak'n our place,
As we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise!

Amazing Grace ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

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 has brought me safe thus far, and grace has led me home!

When we've been here ten thousand years, bright shining in the Son,
We've no less days to sing God's praise, than when we'd first begun!

Guide Us, O Thou Great Jehovah ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

Guide us, O Thou great Jehovah, kings in this, Thy beauteous land;
We are weak but Thou art mighty-lead us with Thy pow'rful Hand:
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven; feed us, for we want no more!
( want no more ) feed us, for we want no more!

Opened now's the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow;
May Thy greatness and Thy mercy guide us all our journey through:
Strong Deliverer, Strong Deliverer: Thou art e'er our strength and shield
( strength and shield ), Thou art e'er our strength and shield!

Since we've reached the Promised Land, Thou hast made our fears subside;
Thou hast led through fire and water, and now, we are safe with Thee!
Songs of praises; songs of praises: we will ever sing to Thee
( sing to Thee ); we will ever sing to Thee!

Lead on O King Eternal ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

Lead on O King eternal, the age of Christ has come,
And holiness has whispered the sweet amen of peace;
It's not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums;
but deeds of love and mercy, the heav'nly kingdom's come!

Lead on O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease,
Henceforth in fields of conquest, Thy courts shall be our home,
Thru these days of tribulation, Thy grace has made us strong,
Therefore O King eternal, we lift our battle song!

Lead on O King eternal, we follow- not with fears!
For gladness's broke like morning, because Thy Son's appeared,
Thy Word is in our hearts; we journey in His light:
The crown awarded Thy conquest, so lead on O God of might!

The Church's One Foundation ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation, by His pure, holy Word:
From heav'n He came and sought her, to be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died!



Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation; One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses, partakes one holy Food,
And in one Lord she rests now, with every grace endued.

Midst toils and tribulations, and tumults of her wars,
She's reached the consummation, of peace forevermore!
Now with the vision glorious, her troubled eyes are blest,
Since the great Church victorious, is now the Church at rest.

She on earth doth dwell, with God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion with those who have passed on:
O happy we, and holy! Lord, thanks for grace that we,
As all the meek and lowly, on high do dwell with Thee!

May Jesus Christ be Praised ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

When morning guilds the sky, our hearts awaking cry;
May Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus we repair: May Jesus Christ be praised!

Does sadness fill our minds? Great solace here we find;
May Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades our earthly bliss?
Our comfort still is this; may Jesus Christ be praised!

In heav'n's eternal bliss, the loveliest strain is this;
May Jesus Christ be praised! The pow'rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear; May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, since Life is ours, our hymn of greatest power,
May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th' eternal song
Throughout the age, tho' long; May Jesus Christ be praised!

Jesus, We Are Resting ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS

Jesus, we are resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art;
We are finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid us gaze upon Thee, and Thy beauty fills our souls,
For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made us whole!

chorus;

Jesus, we are resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art,
We are finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart!


Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, we behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, satisfies our hearts-
Satisfies their deepest longings, meets, supplies their every need,
Compasseth us 'round with blessings; Thine is love indeed!

chorus;


Ever shine Thy face upon us, as we serve and worship Thee;
Resting 'neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, earth's dark shadows flee.
Brightness of our Father's glory, sunshine of our Father's face,
Keep us ever trusting, resting, Fill us with Thy grace!

chorus:

This is Our Father's World ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

This is our Father's world, and to our listening ears,
All nature sings, and 'round us rings the music of the spheres.
This is our Father's world: we rest us in the thought ,
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-His hand the wonders wrought!

This is our Father's world-the birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white, declare their maker's praise.
This is our Father's world: He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass, we hear Him pass-He speaks to us everywhere!

This is our Father's world-O let us ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong; God is the ruler yet!
This is our Father's world: the battle has been won;
Jesus who died has been satisfied, and heav'n and earth are One!

All Hail the Power ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

All hail the power of Jesus Name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Behold the royal diadem, God's crowned Him Lord of all!
Behold the royal diadem, God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who's saved you by His grace; God's crowned Him Lord of all!
Hail Him who's saved you by His grace; God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe; God's crowned Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe; God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Now with God's sacred throng, we at His feet do fall,
We've joined the everlasting song: We hail Him Lord of all!
We've joined the everlasting song: We hail Him Lord of all!
