Benediction

 

O Worship the King

O worship the King

All glorious above

O gratefully sing

His pow'r and His love

Our Shield and Defender

The Ancient of Days

Pavilion'd in splendour

And girded with 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 thunder-clouds form

And dark is His path

On the wings of the storm

 

Thy bountiful care

What tongue can recite

It breathes in the air

It shines in the light

It streams from the hills

It descends to the plain

And sweetly distils

In the dew and the rain

 

Frail children of dust

And feeble as frail

In Thee do we trust

Nor find Thee to fail

Thy mercies how tender

How firm to the end

Our Maker Defender

Redeemer and Friend

 

Glorious and Mighty

Majesty Your glory is shining

Brighter than the moon and the stars

Marveling we honor and fear You

Above all gods

 

Glorious and mighty You're awesome in beauty

Joyful songs we raise

Glorious and mighty You're awesome in beauty

Greatly to be praised

 

Majesty You fashioned the heavens

Your decrees can never be changed

Over all the plans of the nations

Your judgments reign

 

Majesty we'll sing with creation

When You come again in the clouds

Every knee will bow down and worship

The one true God

 

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder

Let us love and sing and wonder

Let us praise the Savior's name

He has hushed the law's loud thunder

He has quenched Mount Sinai's flame

He has washed us with His blood

He has washed us with His blood

He has washed us with His blood

He has brought us nigh to God

 

Let us love the Lord who bought us

Pitied us when enemies

Called us by His grace and taught us

Gave us ears and gave us eyes

He has washed us with His blood

He has washed us with His blood

He has washed us with His blood

He presents our souls to God

 

Let us sing though fierce temptation

Threatens hard to bear us down

For the Lord our strong salvation

Holds in view the conqu'ror's crown

He who washed us with His blood

He who washed us with His blood

He who washed us with His blood

Soon will bring us home to God

 

Let us wonder grace and justice

Join and point to mercy's store

When through grace in Christ our trust is

Justice smiles and asks no more

He who washed us with His blood

He who washed us with His blood

He who washed us with His blood

Has secured our way to God

 

Let us praise and join the chorus

Of the saints enthroned on high

Here they trusted Him before us

Now their praises fill the sky

Thou hast washed us with Thy blood

Thou hast washed us with Thy blood

Thou hast washed us with Thy blood

Thou art worthy Lamb of God

 

O Church of Christ Invincible

O Church of Christ invincible

The people of the Lord

Empowered by the Spirit's breath

And nourished by His word

His covenant of grace will be

Our portion evermore

For He who called us will not change

Our help and our reward

 

O chosen people called by grace

The sons of Abraham

Who walk by faith and things unseen

And on His promise stand

That ev'ry nation of the earth

Will hear about this love

That causes broken hearts to heal

And pays our debts with blood

 

O Church of Christ in sorrow now

Where evil lies in wait

When trials and persecutions come

This light will never fade

For though the hordes of hell may rage

Their pow'r will not endure

Our times are in the Father's hand

Our anchor is secure

 

O Church of Christ upon that day

When all are gathered in

When ev'ry tear is wiped away

With ev'ry trace of sin

Where justice truth and beauty shine

And death is passed away

Where God and man will dwell as one

For all eternity

 

The Everlasting Love of God

How vast the everlasting love of God,

How sure and faithful as the morning.

This love so great for us could never fail

Nor end, for it had no beginning

 

O, the everlasting love of God,

It shall ever be my song

So immense and free; more than life to me!

The everlasting love of God

 

How strong the Father’s beating heart for us,

What mercy runs to meet the sinner.

As rivers yearn to reach the lowest place,

His grace shall flow to me for ever.

 

How great and precious my Redeemer’s blood,

How pure the passion of the Savior.

My sins are drowned beneath this mighty flood,

My soul is swept away with wonder

 

How deep the measure of the Spirit’s work

Who dwells in us, Who seals the promise

God’s love through time and all eternity

Shall stand and we shall stand upon it

What now could separate us from it

 

O, the everlasting love of God,

It shall ever be my song

So immense and free; more than life to me!

The everlasting love of God

The everlasting love of God.
