Benediction
Come, Thou Almighty King
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing,
Help us to praise:
Father! all-glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!
Come, Thou Incarnate Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend!
Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy word success:
Spirit of holiness
On us descend!
All Glory be to the Father,
All Glory be to the Son,
All Glory be to the Spirit
The blessed Three in One!
Come, Holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour!
Thou, Who almighty art,
Now rule in ev’ry heart,
And ne’er from us depart.
Spirit of power.
All Glory be to the Father,
All Glory be to the Son,
All Glory be to the Spirit
The blessed Three in One!
To Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence, evermore;
Death, where now is thy sting?
Crown Him the King of Kings!
We to eternity
Love and adore!
All glory be to the Father
All glory be to the Son
All glory be to the Spirit
The blessed Three in One.
All Glory be to the Father
All Glory be to the Son
All Glory be to the Spirit
The blessed Three in One.
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,
Worship His Holy name!
Sing like never before, O my soul;
I'll worship Your Holy name.
The sun comes up,
It's a new day dawning;
It's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing
When the evening comes!
Chorus
You're rich in love
And You're slow to anger;
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing!
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find.
Chorus
And on that day
When my strength is failing,
The end draws near
And my time has come;
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending!
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore.
Chorus
Reformation Hymn
We will trust God’s Word alone,
Where His perfect will is known;
Our traditions shift like sand
While His truth forever stands.
We will live by faith alone,
Clothed in merit not our own;
All we claim is Jesus Christ
And His finished sacrifice.
Refrain:
Glory be, glory be to God alone,
Through the Church He redeemed and made His own.
He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home.
Glory be, glory be to God alone!
We are saved by grace alone;
Undeserved, yet freely shown.
No accomplishment on earth
Can achieve the second birth.
We will stand on Christ alone,
The unyielding Cornerstone!
Nations rage and devils roar,
Still He reigns forevermore!
Refrain
He Will Hold Me Fast
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path,
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast.
Refrain:
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost,
His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.
Refrain
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Til our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!
Refrain
O Church, Arise
O Church, arise and put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain!
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"
Reaching out to those in darkness.
Our call to war, to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died:
An inheritance of nations.
Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict'ry march continues till the day
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.
So Spirit come, put strength in ev'ry stride,
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.
