Break Lord the Bread of Life

You broke the Bread of Life, for us did die,
When on the cross you hung, our sacri-fice;
Beyond the written page, we seek You Lord,
Our spirits live through You, O Living Word!

You blessed the Truth to us, Lord now we see,
For You did break our chains and set us free;
Now does our bondage cease, all fetters fall,
Now we have found our peace, our All in All!

You are the Bread of Life, Wine on the lee,
Your Word the very Truth that set us free,
Gave us to eat and drink, with You above,
Taught us to love in Truth, for You are Love!

Your Spirit dwells with us, Your Temple we,
For He did touch our eyes, and now we see,
Showed us the truth concealed, within Your Word,
And in our lives revealed, they see the Lord!

For Joy Our Blessed Savior Died

For joy our blessed Savior died; He died to set us free,
God sent His Son to save us all, His pe-ople to redeem!

'Twas for the sin of Adam's race, He died upon the tree,
Amazing pity, Grace unknown, and Lo-ve beyond degree!

Then did the sun in darkness hide, and show His shame no more,
Thus now we show our gratefulness, when glor-ies thus we face!

No more we hide our radiant face, when our own cross appears,
He has revealed His heart to us, and took a-way our tears!

For drops of grief will ne'er repay, the debt to Love we owe,
So Lord, we give our lives to you, 'tis all that we can do!

Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices!
Who wondrous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices,
Who, from our mother's womb, has blessed us on our way
With count-less gifts of love, and still is ours today!

O praise our bounteous God; He, all our life, is with us,
With ev-er joy-ful hearts, and blessed peace to lift us;
And keeps us in His grace, and guides us in our way,
Has freed us from all ills, in never-ending day!

All praise and thanks to God, the Father now be given;
The Son and He who reigns, to God in highest Heaven,
The One eternal God, whom earth and heav'n adore,
 For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore!

God's Presence

Now that we're in 'Heaven',
No more need to cry,
Living in God's Presence,
No more death to die;
All God's holy people living for Him now!

 Some, they may say,
That we're dreaming, but we're not the only ones
We know that some day all will join us,
And the Kingdom will grow as one!


Living in God's country,
Resting in Him too;
We have but to serve Him,
Bringing Life to bear,
With all of God's creatures living in His peace!

Some, they may say,
That we're dreaming, but we're not the only ones
We know that some day all will join us,
And the Kingdom will grow as one!

Living in the Garden,
We have all we need ;
No more greed or hunger
The brotherhood of man
Imagine all God's people sharing all God's world!

Some, they may say,
That we're dreaming, but we're not the only ones
We know that some day all will join us,
And the Kingdom will grow as one!

( to be sung to the tune of John Lennon's 'Imagine' )

Come, We That Love the Lord

Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in His song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne!

Though they refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
We, children of the heav'nly King,
Will voice our joys abroad!

People of grace have found,
God's glory here below;
Most heav'nly fruit on earthly ground,
Through faith and hope do grow!

So let our songs abound,
And every tear be dried;
We're marching through Emmanuel's Land,
And fairer worlds on high!

You Servants of God

You servants of God, your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad His wonderful Name;
The Name all victorious of Jesus extol,
His kingdom is glorious and rules over all.

The waves of the sea have lift up their voice,
Sore troubled that we in Jesus rejoice;
The floods they are roaring, but Jesus is here;
While we are adoring, He always is near.

When the wicked engage, the billows arise,
And horribly rage, and threaten the skies:
Their fury shall never our steadfastness shock,
The weakest believer is built on the Rock.

God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
And still He is nigh, His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.

“Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!”
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son;
The praises of Jesus His Saints do proclaim,
Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.

Then let us adore and give Him His right,
All glory and power, all wisdom and might;
All honor and blessing with hosts up above,
And thanks never ceasing and infinite love.

We Praise You, O God, Our Redeemer


We praise You, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring;
We lay it before You, we kneel and adore You,
We bless Your holy Name, glad praises we sing.

We worship You, God of our fathers, we bless You;
Through life’s storm and tempest our guide You have been;
When perils overtake us, victori'us You have made us,
And with Your help, O Lord, our battles we win.

With voices united our praises we offer,
To You, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Your strong arm does guide us, our God is beside us,
To You, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.

Cory later added this stanza for use at Christmas:

Your love You did show us, Your only Son sending,
Who came as a Babe and Whose bed was a stall,
His blest life He gave us and then died to save us;
We praise You, O Lord, for Your gift to us all.
