Here is Love
02:31
|
|||
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Loving-kindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
Shed for us his precious blood.
Who his love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing his praise?
He can never be forgotten
Throughout heav'n's eternal days.
Let me all thy love accepting,
Love thee ever all my days;
Let me seek thy kingdom only
And my life be to thy praise.
Thou alone shalt be my glory,
Nothing in the world I see;
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me,
Thou thyself has set me free.
In thy truth thou dost direct me
By thy Spirit through thy Word;
And thy grace my need is meeting,
As I trust in thee, my Lord.
Of thy fullness thou art pouring,
Thy great love and pow'r on me,
Without measure, full and boundless,
Drawing out my heart to thee.

Comfort, Comfort
03:22
|
|||
Comfort, comfort you my people,
Speak of peace, thus says our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak you to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
Blotting out each dark misdeed;
All that well deserved his anger
He no more will see nor heed.
She hath suffered many a day,
Now her griefs have passed away;
God will change her pining sadness
Into ever-springing gladness.
For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way.
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
Make now straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken.

O for a Faith
03:32
|
|||
O for a faith that will not shrink
Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe,
Of any earthly woe.
That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God,
Will lean upon its God.
A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows no fear
In darkness feels no doubt,
In darkness feels no doubt.
Lord, give us such a faith as this
And then whate'er may come,
We'll taste even here the hallowed bliss
Of our eternal home,
Of our eternal home.

Jesus and Love
03:06
|
|||
Let me tell you the story of
Unseen things above,
Of Jesus cradle and his glory
At his cross of love.
Listen to the story of the Lamb,
For it will be our theme above in heaven,
He saves the weak and weary souls of men
When Jesus and love begin.
Let me tell you the story of
A sower sowing seeds,
Some won't hear it, some will lose it,
And some will believe.
Listen to the story of the Lamb,
For it will be our theme above in heaven,
He saves the fruitful harvest seed from sin
When Jesus and love begin.
Let me tell you the story of
How that song will sing,
Death is vanquished, the Son is reigning,
Praise the King of kings.
Listen to the story of the Lamb,
For it will be our theme above in heaven,
He sings along until the "Amen"
When Jesus and love, when Jesus and love,
When Jesus and love begin.

What Hourly Dangers
03:44
|
|||
Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To heav'n O let me lift my eyes
And hourly watch and pray.
How oft my mournful thoughts complain
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, oh, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
O gracious God, in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.
Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up
Or soon my strength will fail.
Whene'er temptations fright my heart
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, thy pow'rful aid impart
Nor cease to be my guide.
O keep me in thy heav'nly way
And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness in thee.

Out of the depths
I cry to you, O Lord
O Lord, hear my voice
Let your ears be attentive to my cry
O Israel, put your hope
In the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love
And with him is full redemption
He himself will redeem you from your sin
If you, O Lord
Kept a record of our sin who could stand
But with you there is forgiveness
Therefore you are feared
Therefore you are feared
He will redeem, he will redeem
I wait for the Lord
(in his Word I put my hope)
I wait for the Lord
(more than watchmen wait for morn)

Rise up, O church of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O church of God!
His kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
You are eternal God,
You are the everlasting King.
O Spirit, raise us up with Christ
For all eternity.
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where his feet have trod.
As follow'rs of the Son of Man
Rise up, O church of God.
God Almighty, Holy Father,
Make your glory known this hour;
Take your Church, make it flower
From small stones to highest towers.
God Almighty, Holy Father,
Come, Lord Jesus, bring the hour;
By your words of living water,
Holy Spirit, make Christ our power.

Your Every Work
03:58
|
|||
The world it hates a humble heart
That you have called us to
Renew our spirit and our work
While we submit to you
Our days are for your work
Each mundane task we give
Increase our faith, oh Lord
To daily run and live
In the way of your commands
You have given all we need in Christ
There is not a moment without worth
Your Word has given us the breath of life
Equipped us for your every work
When doubts surround a feeble heart
On your Word we’ll depend
For you have given us a call
To serve well to the end
Help us to teach with love
To sacrifice our wills
To exemplify your call
To daily run and live
In the way of your commands
Christ govern us, enlarge our hearts
And give us faith to tell
Let us not work our days in toil
But gladly labor well
Let us not be put to shame
Your work it gives us cause
When we glorify your name
We daily run and live
In the way of your commands

When dry, my weary, wounded soul
Lay lost in shadowed heart
O make me, Lord, behold you there
In light that breaks the dark
Through all the watches of the night
O help me not forget
These trials, Jesus overcame
His promises he's kept
Why look so down my face above
The resurrected grave
Soul, put thy hope within his love
And sing the Father's praise
And sing the Father's praise
Though tossed about, more nearly drowned
In world's abandoned sea
Thy cross of blood and thorny crown
Brought Christ and heav'n to me
O lead the way, my Lord, my God
And help me back when lost
Then guide my spirit heavenward
In vict'ry o'er my cross
Why look so down my face above
The resurrected grave
Soul, put thy hope within his love
And sing...
Behold the Lamb, the Son of man
Behold the Lamb of God
When dry, my weary, wounded soul
My hope is in his love

Beneath the Cross
04:59
|
|||
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From burning of the noontide heat
And burden of the day.
Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears
Two wonders I confess,
The wonders of redeeming love
And my unworthiness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place,
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of his face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.

Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
"Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may."
It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit shall bear,
Though all the field should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice,
For, while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
