1Come ye that fear Jehovah,
Ye saints, your voices raise;
Come, stand in awe before Him,
And sing His glorious praise.
Ye lowly and afflicted
Who on His word rely,
Your heart shall live forever,
The Lord will satisfy.
2All kindreds of the nations
To Christ the Lord shall turn,
Thro' earth's remotest regions
His altar-fires shall burn.
All kingdom, pow'r, and glory
Belong to Him alone;
He ruleth o'er the nations,
Kings bow before His throne.
3Both high and low shall worship,
Both strong and weak shall bend,
A faithful Church shall serve Him
Till generations end.
His praise shall be recounted
To nations yet to be,
The triumphs of His justice
A newborn world shall see.
1Rock of Ages, cleft for me
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.
2Not the labors of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the Fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyelids close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
1My heart was glad to hear the welcome sound,
The call to seek Jehovah's house of prayer;
Our feet are standing here on holy ground,
Within thy gates, thou city grand and fair.
2God's people to Jerusalem repair
To hear His word and worship Him with praise;
The throne of justice stands eternal there,
Messiah's throne through endless length of days.
3Let earnest prayer be made for Zion's peace;
Thy sons who hold thee dear shall prosper well;
May blessing in thy palaces increase
And peace within thy walls forever dwell.
4For all my brethren and companions' sakes
My prayer shall be, Let peace in thee abide;
Since God the Lord in thee His dwelling makes,
To thee my love shall never be denied.
1Renew thy church, her ministries restore:
both to serve and adore.
Make her again as salt throughout the land,
and as light from a stand.
'Mid somber shadows of the night,
where greed and hatred spread their blight,
O send us forth with pow'r endued:
help us, Lord, be renewed!
2Teach us thy Word, reveal its truth divine;
on our path let it shine.
Tell of thy works, thy mighty acts of grace;
from each page show thy face.
As thou hast loved us, sent thy Son,
and our salvation now is won.
O let our hearts with love be stirred:
help us, Lord, know thy Word!
3Teach us to pray, for thou art ever near;
thy still voice let us hear.
Our souls are restless till they rest in thee:
this our glad destiny.
Before thy presence keep us still,
that we may find for us thy will
and seek thy guidance every day:
teach us, Lord, how to pray!
4Teach us to love, with strength of heart and mind,
everyone, all mankind.
Break down old walls of prejudice and hate;
leave us not to our fate.
As thou hast loved and giv'n thy life
to end hostility and strife,
O share thy grace from heav'n above:
teach us, Lord, how to love!
1We are God's people, the chosen of the Lord,
born of his Spirit, established by his Word;
our cornerstone is Christ alone,
and strong in Him we stand:
O let us live transparently,
and walk heart to heart and hand in hand.
2We are God's loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,
for we have known it, the love of God outpoured;
now let us learn how to return
the gift of love once giv'n:
O let us share each joy and care,
and live with a zeal that pleases heav'n.
3We are the Body of which the Lord is Head,
called to obey him, now risen from the dead;
he wills us be a family,
diverse yet truly one:
O let us give our gifts to God,
and so shall his work on earth be done.
4We are a temple, the Spirit's dwelling place,
formed in great weakness, a cup to hold God's grace;
we die alone, for on its own
each member loses fire:
yet joined in one the flame burns on
to give warmth and light, and to inspire.
1Blest be the Lord, our fathers' God,
Eternal King of kings,
Who only is omnipotent,
Performing wondrous things.
2Blest be His great and glorious Name
For evermore, Amen,
And let His glory fill the earth
From shore to shore. Amen.
1Great is thy faithfulness, O God my 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.
Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided—
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
2Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
3Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

1It is good to sing Thy praises
And to thank Thee, O Most High,
Showing forth Thy lovingkindness
When the morning lights the sky.
It is good when night is falling
Of Thy faithfulness to tell,
While with sweet, melodious praises
Songs of adoration swell.
2Thou hast filled my heart with gladness
Thro' the works Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my life victorious,
Great Thy works and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on high exalted,
Reignest evermore in might;
All Thy enemies shall perish,
Sin be banished from Thy sight.
3But the good shall live before Thee,
Planted in Thy dwelling-place,
Fruitful trees and ever verdant,
Nourished by Thy boundless grace.
In His goodness to the righteous
God His righteousness displays;
God my rock, my strength and refuge,
Just and true are all His ways.
1What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.
2In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
3In God, the Lord, I rest,
His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays.
4Upon me are Thy vows,
O God, in Whom I live;
The sacrifice of praise
To Thee I now will give.
5For Thou hast saved from death,
From falling kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee.
1Commit now all your griefs
and ways into his hands;
to his sure truth and tender care,
who earth and heav'n commands.
Who points the clouds their course,
whom winds and seas obey,
he shall direct your wand'ring feet,
he shall prepare your way.
2Give to the winds your fears;
hope, and be undismayed;
God hears your sighs and counts your tears,
God shall lift up your head.
Through waves and clouds and storms
he gently clears your way;
wait for his time, so shall the night
soon end in joyous day.
3Still heavy is your heart?
Still sink your spirits down?
Cast off the weight, let fear depart,
and every care be gone.
He everywhere has sway,
and all things serve his might;
his every act pure blessing is,
his path unsullied light.
4Far, far above your thought
his counsel shall appear,
when fully he the work has wrought
that caused your needless fear.
Leave to his sovereign will
to choose and to command;
with wonder filled, you then shall own
how wise, how strong his hand.
1Now blessed be Jehovah God,
The God of Israel
Who only doeth wondrous works,
In glory that excel.
Who only doeth wondrous works,
In glory that excel.
2And blessed be His glorious Name
To all eternity;
The whole earth let His glory fill.
Amen: So let it be.
The whole earth let His glory fill.
Amen: So let it be.
