Almighty King of Glory, we love to sing of thee To tell the deathless story of thy salvation free O mighty grace that forgives us, O crown of thorns he wore Our souls redeemed and living now shall praise him evermore He found us lost and straying upon the mountains cold With tears and toil and praying, he returned us to the fold O shepherd never sleeping! O Savior ever near Beneath thy watchful keeping, our hearts shall never fear See his hands, see his side, pierced for us, O what sacrifice! He was crushed, bore our wounds that we might be healed See his hands, see his side, pierced for us, O what sacrifice! He was crushed, bore our wounds that we might be healed He felt our shame while lying in sad Gethsemane He bore our sins while dying on dark Mount Calvary For us he rose and conquered death! In triumph o’er the grave Our souls in realms eternal shall sing of his power to save For us he rose and conquered death! In triumph o’er the grave Our souls in realms eternal shall sing of his power to save

How firm a foundation you saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word What more can He say than to you He has said To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled Fear not I am with you, oh be not dismayed For I am your God and will still give you aid I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand Upheld by My righteous Omnipotent hand What more can He say than to you He has said, to you who to Jesus have fled? How firm a foundation You saints of the Lord Is laid in His excellent Word! When through the deep waters I call you to go The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow For I will be with you, your troubles to bless And sanctify to you your deepest distress What more can He say than to you He has said, to you who to Jesus have fled? How firm a foundation You saints of the Lord Is laid in His excellent Word! The soul that on Jesus Has leaned for repose I will not I will not desert to his foes That soul though all hell should endeavor to shake I’ll never, no never, no never forsake What more can He say than to you He has said, to you who to Jesus have fled? How firm a foundation You saints of the Lord Is laid in His excellent Word! Is laid in His excellent Word!

Praise him for all his grace and favor To his people in distress. Praise him now, still the same as ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia, Alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore his praises sing, Alleluia! Fatherlike, the Lord he tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame he knows. In his hands our father gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia, Alleluia! Widely as his mercy goes. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore his praises sing, Alleluia! To the everlasting King, Alleluia! Angels, come, help us to adore Him; You behold Him face to face; Sun and moon, bowing down before Him, Dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore his praises sing, Alleluia! To the everlasting King, Alleluia!

I need Thee, precious Jesus; for I am full of sin My soul is dark and guilty; my heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain; where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious; the sinner’s perfect plea. I need Thee, precious Jesus, for I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim; I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus; to cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps; to be my strength and stay. I need Thee, precious Jesus; I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity; a friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus; to feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble; and all my sorrows share. I need Thy Holy Spirit; to teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus; to point me to the Lamb. I need Thy Holy Spirit; to teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus; to point me to the Lamb. I need Thee, precious Jesus; and hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow and seated on Thy throne. There, with Thy blood bought children; my joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praises, Jesus; to gaze, O Lord, on Thee.

O Jesus, we adore You, upon the cross, our King: We bow our hearts before You; Your gracious Name we sing; That Name has brought salvation, that Name in life our stay, Our peace, our consolation when life shall fade away. O Jesus, we adore You (To you we bring) We bow our hearts before You (Our offering) O Jesus, we confess You (Our Lord and King) O Glorious King we bless You (O Jesus) Yet does this world disdain You, still passing by the cross: Lord, may our hearts retain You, all else we count but loss. Oh, Lord, our sins arraigned You, and nailed You to the tree: Our pride, O Lord, disdained You; yet deign our hope to be. O Jesus, we adore You (To you we bring) We bow our hearts before You (Our offering) O Jesus, we confess You (Our Lord and King) O Glorious King we bless You (O Jesus) O glorious King, we bless You, no longer pass You by; O Jesus, we confess You, Our Lord enthroned on high. Lord grant to us remission; life through your death restore. Yes, grant us the fruition of life forevermore. O Jesus, we adore You (To you we bring) We bow our hearts before You (Our offering) O Jesus, we confess You (Our Lord and King) O Glorious King we bless You

Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the Head and Cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord, Binds the church in one; Holy Zion's help for ever and Her confidence alone. Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Praise and honor to our God Ever Three and ever One. All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, We lift up songs of praise In glorious melody; God the One in Three adoring in Glad hymns eternally. Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Praise and honor to our God Ever Three and ever One. Ever three and ever One, Praise the Father, praise the Spirit, praise the Son! Ever three and ever One, Praise the Father, praise the Spirit, praise the Son! To this temple, where we call to you, Come, O Lord of hosts today: Let your mercy reign And hear your servants pray; May your fullest benediction be Within these walls always. Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Praise and honor to our God Ever Three and ever One.

Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light; ’Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign; O then what raptured greetings On Canaan’s happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heaven Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come

God, be merciful to me; On Thy grace I rest my plea Plenteous in compassion Thou, Blot out my transgressions now; Wash me, make me pure within; Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. My transgressions I confess; Grief and guilt my soul oppress. I have sinned against Thy grace, And provoked Thee to Thy face. I confess Thy judgement just; Speechless, I Thy mercy trust. Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice, And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace. Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and true. Cast me not away from Thee, Let Thy Spirit dwell in me; Thy salvation's joy impart, Steadfast make my willing heart.

The race that long in darkness pined have seen a glorious light The people dwell in day, who dwelt in death's surrounding night To hail thy rise, thou better Sun! the gath'ring nations come Joyous, as when reapers bear the harvest treasures home Alleluia! Unto us a son is given Alleluia! To us a son is born Alleluia! Our Wonderful Counselor Alleluia! Great and almighty God To us a child of hope is born To us a son is giv'n; Him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heav'n Alleluia! Unto us a son is given Alleluia! To us a son is born Alleluia! Our Wonderful Counselor Alleluia! Great and almighty God His power increasing still shall spread, his reign no end shall know Justice guards his throne above and peace abounds below. Alleluia! Unto us a son is given Alleluia! To us a son is born Alleluia! Our Wonderful Counselor Alleluia! Great and almighty God

Take Me Home 03:37
Can you wipe away each tear When they won't stop falling? How did we get here? How can we move on? Do you have the strength to pull me back When I've gone too far? How do I get back there? Where did it go wrong? So take me home To what I've needed all along To the place where I am known To the place where I belong You've overcome Each sorrow that I've known And these troubles made your own You’re all I’ve needed all along Will these shadows disappear When we reach the morning? 'Cause all I see clearly Is I don’t belong Will you want me by your side Knowing all I’ve been through? And through your undoing You undo these wrongs? So take me home To what I've needed all along To the place where I am known To the place where I belong You've overcome Each sorrow that I've known And these troubles made your own You’re all I’ve needed all along Can you make all things new?
