Come Praise and Glorify

Verse 1

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

 

Chorus:

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

 

Verse 2

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

 

Verse 3

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

 

Praise His Name (Psalm 148)

Verse 1

Reaches of heaven, starry heights,

Lights of the evening dancing in silent skies,

Brilliance of morning, breaking day;

O let them praise Him, praise His name!

 

Chorus

O praise His name, O praise His name;

Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!

 

Verse 2

Mightiest mountains, peaceful plains

Snowfall and fire, thundering ocean waves

Kings and their kingdoms, age to age

O let them praise Him, praise His name!

 

Bridge

King enthroned in majesty, all things made by His decree

Hear creation’s melody, “Praise Him! Praise Him!”

Everything with life and breath, everywhere from east to west

Every heart raised from the dead, praise Him, praise Him

Angels echo the refrain, “Jesus, Lamb for sinners slain!”

Name above all other names, praise Him!

 

Abide with Me

Verse 1

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

 

Verse 2

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.

Change and decay in all around I see.

O thou who changest not, abide with me.

 

Verse 3

I need thy presence every passing hour.

What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?

Who like thyself my guide and strength can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.

 

Verse 4

I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless,

ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.

Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

 

Verse 5

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes.

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.

Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;

in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

 

Only a Holy God

Verse 1

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven

Who else could make every king bow down 

Who else can whisper and darkness trembles

Only a Holy God

 

Verse 2

What other beauty demands such praises

What other splendor outshines the sun

What other majesty rules with justice

Only a Holy God

 

Chorus

Come and behold Him

The One and the Only

Cry out, sing holy

Forever a Holy God

Come and worship the Holy God

 

Verse 3

What other glory consumes like fire

What other power can raise the dead

What other name remains undefeated

Only a Holy God

 

Chorus

Come and behold Him

The One and the Only

Cry out, sing holy

Forever a Holy God

Come and worship the Holy God

 

Verse 4

Who else could rescue me from my failing

Who else would offer His only Son

Who else invites me to call Him Father

Only a Holy God

Only my Holy God

 

Chorus

Come and behold Him

The One and the Only

Cry out, sing holy

Forever a Holy God

Come and worship the Holy God

 

Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor

Christ, the sure and steady anchor

In the fury of the storm;

When the winds of doubt blow through me,

When my sails have all been torn.

In the suffering, in the sorrow,

When my sinking hopes are few;

I will hold fast to the anchor,

It will never be removed.

 

Christ, the sure and steady anchor,

While the tempest rages on;

When temptation claims the battle,

And it seems the night has won.

Deeper still then goes the anchor,

Though I justly stand accused;

I will hold fast to the anchor,

It shall never be removed.

 

Christ, the sure and steady anchor,

Through the floods of unbelief;

Hopeless, somehow O my soul, now

Lift your eyes to Calvary.

This my ballast of assurance,

See his love forever proved.

I will hold fast to the anchor,

It will never be removed.

 

Christ, the sure and steady anchor,

As we face the wave of death;

When these trials give way to glory,

As we draw our final breath.

We will cross that great horizon,

Clouds behind and life secure;

And the calm will be the better,

For the storms that we endure.

 

Tag

Christ the shore of our salvation,

Ever faithful, ever true!

We will hold fast to the anchor,

It shall never be removed.

 

Almost Home
Verse 1

Don't drop a single anchor, we're almost home

Through every toil and danger, we're almost home

How many pilgrim saints have before us gone?

No stopping now, we're almost home

 

Verse 2

That promised land is callin', we're almost home

And not a tear shall fall then, we're almost home

Make ready now your souls for that Kingdom come

No turning back, we're almost home

 

Chorus:

Almost home, we're almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

Oh, praise the Lord, wе're almost home

 

Verse 3

This journey ours togеther, we're almost home

Unto that great forever, we're almost home

What song anew we'll sing 'round that happy throne

Come faint of heart, we're almost home

 

Chorus:

Almost home, we're almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

Oh, praise the Lord, we're almost home
