He Leadeth Me
03:31
|
|||
|
He leadeth me, O blessed thought! Words with heavenly comfort fraught!
E’er I do, where e’re I be, ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Whether scenes of deepest gloom, or Eden’s pleasant bowers bloom
By waters still, or troubled sea, ‘tis His hand that leadeth me
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, His faithful follower I would be;
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, For by His hand He leadeth me.
Lord, I place my hand in Thine, To walk, to live, by Thy design
Content, whatever lot I see; ’tis my God that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, His faithful follower I would be;
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, For by His hand He leadeth me.
When Thy work on earth is done, when by Thy grace the victory’s won,
Death will claim no hold on me; Christ the conqueror leadeth me.
He leadeth me, His faithful follower I would be;
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, For by His hand He leadeth me.

O Worship the King
04:47
|
|||
|
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O measureless might! Ineffable love!
While angels delight in worship above,
Thy humble creation, though feeble their ways,
With true adoration shall all sing Thy praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
O measureless might! Ineffable love!
While angels delight in worship above,
Thy humble creation, though feeble their ways,
With true adoration shall all sing Thy praise.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Children of dust, feeble as frail,
Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Maker, redeemer, friend.

Light's Abode
05:06
|
|||
|
Light’s abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring,
Brighter than the heart can fathom, Mansion of the highest King;
There for ever and for always alleluia is outpoured
For unending and unbroken is the feast day of the Lord;
All is pure and all is holy that within Thy walls is stored.
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
There no cloud, no passing vapor, dims the brightness of the air;
Endless noonday, glorious noonday, from the Sun of suns is there;
O how glorious and resplendent, fragile body, thou shalt be,
When endued with so much beauty, full of health, and strong, and free,
Full of vigor, full of pleasure that shall last eternally!
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
Now with gladness, now with courage, bear the burden on thee laid,
That hereafter these thy labors may with endless gifts be paid,
And in everlasting glory thou with brightness be arrayed.

How Firm a Foundation
03:31
|
|||
|
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said—
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
In every condition—sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
Fear not, God is with us, we walk not alone
True God who reigneth shines from His throne
With strength to help us, and cause us to stand
Held by His righteous omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters Thou shall call us to go,
The rivers of trial shall not overflow;
For Thou shall be with us, our troubles to bless,
And sanctify to us our deepest distress.
Fear not, God is with us, we walk not alone
True God who reigneth shines from His throne
With strength to help us, and cause us to stand
Held by His righteous omnipotent hand.
God is with us, we walk not alone
True God who reigneth shines from His throne
With strength to help us, and cause us to stand
Held by His righteous omnipotent hand.

Sing praise to God Who reigns above, the God of all creation,
Oh, God of power—God of love, God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled and every faithless murmur stilled:
To God all praise and glory.
Thus, all my toilsome way along, I sing aloud Thy praises,
That earth may hear the grateful song my voice, though wearied, raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, both soul and body bear your part:
To God all praise and glory.
To God all praise and glory! To God all praise and glory! To God all praise and glo--ry!
Let all who name Christ’s holy Name give God all praise and glory;
Let all who know His power proclaim aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each idol from its throne, for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone:
To God all praise and glory! To God all praise and glory! To God all praise and glo--ry!
To God all praise and glory! To God all praise and glory!
To God all praise and glory!

How calm and beautiful the morn that gilds the sacred tomb,
Where Christ the Crucified was borne, and veiled in midnight gloom!
Ye mourning saints, dry every tear for your departed Lord;
Behold the place, He is not here, the tomb is all unbarred;
The gates of death were closed in vain: The Lord is risen; He lives again.
Now cheerful to the house of prayer your early footsteps bend;
The Savior will Himself be there, your Advocate and Friend:
Once by the law your hopes were slain, but now in Christ you live again.
Once by the law your hopes were slain, but now in Christ you live again .
The end of days comes swiftly on, but death shall ‘rouse no fear
For Christ, who conquered death and hell, in glory shall appear
To dry our tears and silence pain, we die in Christ to live again.
To dry our tears and silence pain, we die in Christ to live again.

There is a Land
04:18
|
|||
|
There is a land of pure delight, where saints immortal reign,
Eternal day excludes the night, and pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides, and never withering flowers:
Death, like narrow seas, divide this heav’nly land from ours.
Could we but climb where Moses stood, and view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, should fright us from the shore.
O could we make our doubts remove, those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love with unbeclouded eyes!
Could we but climb where Moses stood, and view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, should fright us from the shore.
Could we but climb where Moses stood, and view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood—
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, should fright us from the shore.

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me on.
When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand lead me on
When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand lead me on
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall
Through the storm, through the night; Lead me on to the light
Precious Lord, lead me on

Now Thank We All Our God
03:26
|
|||
|
Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills, in this life and the next!

Standing on the Promises
02:57
|
|||
|
Standing on the promises of Christ my King;
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing;
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail;
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail;
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing; Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing; Standing on the promises of God
Standing on the promises I now can see;
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ sets free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord;
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing; Standing on the promises of God
Standing, standing; Standing on the promises of God

Come to Calvary’s mountain, ruined by the Fall;
Here flows a healing fountain to you, to me, to all
Come impoverished, empty; come defiled within;
Your spite and bitter envy, the great disease of sin,
Come in sorrow and contrition, anguished, wounded, broken, blind;
Here the guilty know remission, here the troubled peace, may find.
Joy this fountain will restore; you that drink shall thirst no more.
Joy this fountain will restore; you that drink shall thirst no more.

Great 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 has been Thou forever will be.
Summer and winter, 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.
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.
Pardon 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!
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.
