The Kingdom of God

John saw the heav'ns and earth made new, the first had passed away,

The Holy City coming down, the New Jerusalem!

And God Himself now dwells with men, and wipes away all tears,

There is no sorrow, pain or death, throughout the coming years!

'Behold, I make all things a-new', these faithful words are true,

With Him who overcame, we on earth with God do rule!

In beau-ti-ful Je-ru-sa-lem, God's glo-ry gives us light,

All kings and nations walk with us, for there is no more night'!

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son; Thee will we cherish,
Thee will we honor, Thou art our glory, joy, and crown!

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands;
In all the blooming garb of Spring; Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer, who makes the woeful heart to sing!

Fair is the Sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twink'ling starry host; Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer, than all the angels heaven can boast!

Beautiful Saviour! Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of Man;
Glory an honor, praise, adoration, now and forevermore be Thine!

May Jesus Christ Be Praised

When morning gilds 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 mind? A solace here we find, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades our earthly bliss, our comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praised!

The night's become as day, when from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow'rs of darkness fear, when this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Sing suns and stars of space, sing we now see His face, May Jesus Christ be praised!
God's whole creation o'er, sing for aye and evermore, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, since Life is ours, our canticle, like flow'rs, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the'eternal song, through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised!

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

O, for a thousand tomngues to sing, our great Redeemers praise,
The glories of our God and King, the triumphs of His grace!

Jesus! The name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease,
'Tis music in the sinners ear, 'tis life, and health, and peace!

He broke the pow'r of canceled sin, He set the priso-ner free;
His blood has made the foulest clean, His blood availed for me!

Hear Him ye deaf, praise Him ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold; your Savior's come, and leap ye lame for joy!

Our gracious Master, and our God, assist us to proclaim;
To spread through all the earth abroad, the honors of Thy name!

We Sing the Mighty Power of God

We sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise;
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained, the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey!

We sing the goodness of our Lord, that filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures by His Word, and then pronounced them good!
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, wher'er we turn our eyes;
If we survey the ground we tread, or gaze upon the skies!

There's not a plant or flow'r below, but makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne!
While aall that  borrows Life from Thee, is ever in Thy care'
And everywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there!

The Lord's Our Shepherd; We'll Not Want

The Lord's our Shepherd; we'll not want:
He makes us down to lie, in pastures green; He leadeth us, the quiet waters by.

Our life He hath restored again,
And us to walk doth make, within the paths, of righteousness, e'en for His own name's sake.

Yea, though we walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will we fear no ill, for Thou art with us, and Thy rod and staff; they comfort still!

Our table Thou hast furnish-ed, in presence of our foes;
Our heads with oil Thou didst anoint, and our cup overflows!

Goodness and mercy, all our Life, shall surely o-urs be.
And in God's house forevermore, our dwelling-place shall be!

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God our Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou  changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

chorus

Great is Thy Faith-fulness, great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto us!

Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars, in their courses above. 
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love!

chorus


Pardon for sin, and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear Presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today, and bright Truth for tomorrow,
Blessings are ours, and ten thousand beside!

chorus

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing,
Our Helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
And though our ancient foe did seek to work us woe-
His craft and power were great; on earth was not his equal!

Did we in our own strength confide-our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing!
Dost ask Who that may be, Christ Jesus-it is He, Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same, and He has won the battle!

And though this world, with evils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His Truth to triumph through us!
Though things oft-en look grim, we stumble not in them, tri-als we will endure,
Our victory is sure; one little Word shall quell them!

That Word, above all earthly powers, who in our God abideth,
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, through Him Who with us sideth,
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill,
God's Word abideth still, His Kingdom is forever!

Sing Praise To God Who Reigns Above

Sing praise to God Who reigns above, the God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation.
With healing balm our hearts He fills, and every faithless murmur stills;
To God all praise and glory!

What God's al-mighty pow'r hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth,
By morning glow or ev'ning shade, His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth,
Within the kingdom of His might, lo, all is just, and all is right;
To God all praise and glory!

The Lord is ever here to stay, and through all grief distrressing,
An ever present Help alway, our peace and joy and blessing.
As with a Shepherd's tender hand, He leads His own, His chosen band;
To God all praise and glory!

Thus all our toilsome way along, we sing aloud His praises,
That men may hear the song, our voices un-wearied raise Him;
Be joyful in the Lord, our hearts, both soul and body bear their parts;
To God all praise and glory!

Be Thou Our Vision

Be Thou our vision, O Lord of our hearts,
Naught be all else to us, save that Thou art;
Thou our best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy Presence our light!

Be Thou our wisdom, and Thou our True Word,
We ever with Thee, and Thou with us Lord;
Thou our Great Father, we Thy true sons,
Thou in us dwelling, and we with Thee one!

Riches we heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou our inheritance, now and always,
Thou and Thou only, first in our hearts;
High King of Heaven, our treasure Thou art!

High King of Heaven, our victory won,
We've reach-ed Heaven's joys, in bright Heav'n's Sun;
Heart of our own hearts, whatever befall,
Still be our Vision, O Ruler of all!

Praise With Us The King Of Heaven

---

Praise with us, the King of Heaven;
To His feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.

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.

Fatherlike He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows.
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet His mercy flows.

Frail as summer’s flower we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish
Our God lives unchanging on,
Praise Him, Praise Him, Hallelujah
Praise the High Eternal One!

Angels, angels, we adore Him;
We behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.

Come The Fount of Every Blessing

Come the Fount of every blessing, tune our hearts to sing your grace,
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach us some melodious sonnet, sung with flaming tongues above,
Praise His Name, we're fixed upon Him, Son of His redeeming love!

Forevermore Your love has blessed us, You have brought us to this Place,
And we know Your hand has brought us, safely home by Your good grace.
Jesus sought us, we were strangers, wandering from the fold of God,
He to rescue us from danger, bought us with His precious blood!

O to grace how great as debtors, daily we're constrained to be,
But Your goodness, like a fetter, bound our wand'ring hearts to Thee,
No more wand'rers, Lord we love You, now we serve the God we love,
For our hearts, You took and sealed them, sealed them in Your courts of love!

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

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

All Your works with joy surround You, earth and heav'n reflect Your rays,
Stars, like angels sing around You, 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 us, 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!

Rejoice, the Lord is King

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!

The Lord, our Savior reigns, the God of Truth and Love;
When He had purged our stains, He took His seat above!

refrain

His Kingdom cannot Fall, He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell, are to our Jesus given!

refrain

Rejoice in Glorious Truth, our Lord the Judge did come;
And took His servants up to their eternal home!
