Benediction
Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish but naught changeth thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render, O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.
Come Praise and Glorify
Come praise and glorify our God
The Father of our Lord
In Christ He has in heav'nly realms
His blessings on us poured
For pure and blameless in His sight
He destined us to be
And now we've been adopted through
His Son eternally
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves
Come praise and glorify our God
Who gives His grace in Christ
In Him our sins are washed away
Redeemed through sacrifice
In Him God has made known to us
The myst'ry of His will
That Christ should be the head of all
His purpose to fulfill
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves
Come praise and glorify our God
For we've believed the Word
And through our faith we have a seal
The Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit guarantees our hope
Until redemption's done
Until we join in endless praise
To God, the Three in One
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves
To the praise of Your glory
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves
Rock of Ages
Rock 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,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing 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.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgement throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Yet
Not I, But Through Christ in Me
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer,
There is no more for heaven now to give,
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom,
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus,
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine,"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
The night is dark, but I am not forsaken,
For by my side, the Savior He will stay,
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing,
For in my need, His power is displayed,
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me,
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh, the night has been won, and I shall overcome,
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven,
The future sure, the price it has been paid,
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon,
And He was raised to overthrow the grave,
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated,
Jesus now and ever is my plea,
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free,"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
With every breath I long to follow Jesus,
For He has said that He will bring me home,
And day by day I know He will renew me,
Until I stand with joy before the throne,
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus,
All the glory evermore to Him,
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat,
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus,
All the glory evermore to Him,
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat,
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat,
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Great is Thy Faithfulness
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 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!
Summer 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.
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!
