Benediction
Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
How
Rich a Treasure We Possess
How rich a treasure we possess, in Jesus
Christ our Lord;
His blood our ransom and defense, His glory our reward.
The sum of all created things is worthless in compare,
For our inheritance is Him whose praise angels declare.
How free and costly was the love displayed upon the cross;
While we were dead in untold sin, the Sovereign purchased us.
The will of God the Father demonstrated through the Son;
The Spirit seals the greatest work: the work which Christ has done.
How vast and measureless the flood of mercy unrestrained!
The penalty was paid in full; the spotless Lamb was slain.
Salvation, what a priceless gift received by grace through faith.
We stand in robes of righteousness; we stand in Jesus’ name.
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory!
Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory;
Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory!
Amen, amen, amen.
O
Great God
O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You
have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven’s joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace
Help me now to live a life
That’s dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me
Christ Our Wisdom
Christ our wisdom, we are humbled
When You hide Your ways from us
You have purposes unnumbered
Each one good and glorious
Help us trust when we grow weary
Free us from our anxious thoughts
Give us grace to see more clearly
You are God and we are not
Christ our wisdom, be our gladness
When we fail to understand
You ordain all joy and sadness
To fulfill Your perfect plan
Help us know You rule with power
Over every raging flood
In our most uncertain hour
You are God and we are loved
Christ our wisdom, we will follow
Though the way ahead is veiled
As we journey through the shadows
Grant us faith where sight has failed
Help us cling to Your commandments
Strengthened by Your faithful Word
We will never be abandoned
You are God and we are Yours
Christ our wisdom we adore You
For the beauty of the cross
Once in foolishness we scorned You
But Your blood has ransomed us
Help us sing the endless mercies
Of Your humble heart to save
Christ our wisdom, Christ our glory
You are God forever praised
Christ
the True and Better
Christ, the true and better Adam
Son of God and Son of man
Who, when tempted in the garden
Never yielded, never sinned
He who makes the many righteous
Brings us back to life again
Dying, He reversed the curse
Then rising, crushed the serpent's head
Christ, the true and better Isaac
Humble on of sacrifice
Who would climb the fearful mountain
There to offer up his life
Laid with faith upon the altar
Father's joy and only son
There salvation was provided
Oh, what full and boundless love
Amen, Amen from beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen
Christ,
the true and better Moses
Called to lead a people home
Standing bold to earlthy powers
God’s great glory to be known
With His arms stretched wide to heaven
See the waters part in two
See the veil is torn forever
Cleansed with blood we pass now through
Amen, Amen from beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia, Amen
Christ, the true and better David
Lowly shepherd, mighty King
He the champion in the battle
Where, O death, is now thy sting
In our place He bled and conquered
Crowned Him Lord of Majesty
He shall be the throne forever
We shall e’re His people be
