Benediction

 

God Omniscient, God All-Knowing
God omniscient, God all-knowing, in His wisdom does ordain
Every working of creation to the glory of His name!
Who His thoughts can dare to fathom, who His judgments can contain?
None His equal, unassailable, He our God who ever reigns.

God all-keeping, omnipresent, in the passing days of man;
First to last, not one forgotten by His strong and steering hand.
He, the Sovereign Lord, now praise we, he the fount of Providence;
On His word we rest unwavering! Yes, His perfect Word shall stand.

God omnipotent and mighty, inexhaustible His strength.
Governments and fleeting powers melt before His majesty!
How unsearchable His greatness, how inscrutable His ways!
Sing His greatness and preeminence over all created things.

God unchanging, ever-faithful to His covenant of grace.
We His people, Christ did ransom to the glory of His name.
Now ascribe unending worship, now ascribe immortal praise,
To the God whose kingdom cometh, blessed be His matchless name!

Now ascribe unending worship, now ascribe immortal praise,
To the God whose kingdom cometh, blessed be His matchless name!
Blessed be His matchless name!

 

Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery

Come behold the wondrous mystery

In the dawning of the King

He the theme of heaven’s praises

Robed in frail humanity

In our longing, in our darkness

Now the light of life has come

Look to Christ, who condescended

Took on flesh to ransom us

 

Come behold the wondrous mystery

He the perfect Son of Man

In His living, in His suffering

Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam

Come to save the hell-bound man

Christ the great and sure fulfillment

Of the law; in Him we stand

 

Come behold the wondrous mystery

Christ the Lord upon the tree

In the stead of ruined sinners

Hangs the Lamb in victory

See the price of our redemption

See the Father’s plan unfold

Bringing many sons to glory

Grace unmeasured, love untold

 

Come behold the wondrous mystery

Slain by death the God of life

But no grave could e’er restrain Him

Praise the Lord; He is alive!

What a foretaste of deliverance

How unwavering our hope

Christ in power resurrected

As we will be when he comes

 

He Will Hold Me Fast
When I fear my faith will fail,
He 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.

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.


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
‘Till our faith is turned to sight,
When He comes at last!

 

HOM: 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.

 

There is One Gospel
There is one Gospel on which I stand
For all eternity
It is my story, my Father’s plan
The Son has rescued me
Oh what a Gospel, Oh what a peace
My highest joy and my deepest need
Now and forever He is my light
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ


There is one Gospel to which I cling
All else I count as loss
For there, where justice and mercy meet
He saved me on the cross
No more I boast in what I can bring
No more I carry the weight of sin
For He has brought me from death to life
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ


There is one Gospel where hope is found
The empty tomb still speaks
For death could not keep my Saviour down
He lives and I am free
Now on my Saviour, I fix my eyes
My life is His and His hope is mine!
For He has promised I, too, will rise
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ


And in this Gospel the church is one
We do not walk alone
We have His Spirit as we press on
To lead us safely home
And when in glory still I will sing
Of this old story that rescued me
Praise to my Saviour, the King of life

I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
