TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Words:Fanny Crosby,Music:W. Howard Doane

To God be the glory, great things He has done;So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the earth hear His voice!Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the people rejoice!O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,To every believer the promise of God;The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;But purer, and higher, and greater will beOur wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

THE LOVE OF GOD

Words and music: Frederick M. Lehman

The love of God is greater farThan tongue or pen can ever tell;It goes beyond the highest star,

And reaches to the lowest hell;The guilty pair, bowed down with care,God gave His Son to win;His erring child He reconciled,

And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain

O love of God, how rich and pure!How measureless and strong!It shall forevermore endureThe saints and angels song.

When years of time shall pass away,And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,When men, who here refuse to pray,On rocks and hills and mountains call,Gods love so sure, shall still endure,

All measureless and strong;Redeeming grace to Adams raceThe saints and angels song.

Refrain

Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill,

And every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God above,

Would drain the ocean dry.Nor could the scroll contain the whole,Though stretched from sky to sky.

TELL ME THE STORY OF JESUS

Words:Fanny Crosby,Music:John R. Sweney

Tell me the story of Jesus,Write on my heart every word.Tell me the story most precious,Sweetest that ever was heard.Tell how the angels in chorus,Sang as they welcomed His birth.Glory to God in the highest!Peace and good tidings to earth.

Refrain

Tell me the story of Jesus,Write on my heart every word.Tell me the story most precious,Sweetest that ever was heard.

Fasting alone in the desert,Tell of the days that are past.How for our sins He was tempted,Yet was triumphant at last.Tell of the years of His labor,

Tell of the sorrow He bore.He was despised and afflicted,Homeless, rejected and poor.

Refrain

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,Writhing in anguish and pain.Tell of the grave where they laid Him,Tell how He liveth again.Love in that story so tender,

Clearer than ever I see.Stay, let me weep while you whisper,Love paid the ransom for me.

Refrain

OUR GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

Words:Isaac Watts,Music:ST.ANNE, William Croft

Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throneThy saints have dwelt secure;Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,Or earth received her frame,From everlasting Thou art God,To endless years the same.

Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,Return, ye sons of men:

All nations rose from earth at first,And turn to earth again.

A thousand ages in Thy sightAre like an evening gone;Short as the watch that ends the nightBefore the rising sun.

The busy tribes of flesh and blood,

With all their lives and cares,Are carried downwards by the flood,And lost in following years.

Time, like an ever rolling stream,Bears all its sons away;They fly, forgotten, as a dreamDies at the opening day.

Like flowery fields the nations standPleased with the morning light;The flowers beneath the mowers hand

Lie withering ere tis night.

Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Be Thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

I'll Fly AwayWords and Music by Alfred E. Brumley

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,

I'll fly away;

To a home on God's celestial shore,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Chorus:

I'll fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away; (in the morning)

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,

I'll fly away;

Like a bird from prison bars has flown,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

Chorus

Just a few more weary days and then,

I'll fly away;

To a land where joy shall never end,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

Chorus

AT CALVARY

Words:William R. Newell,Music:Daniel B. Towner

Years I spent in vanity and pride,Caring not my Lord was crucified,Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.

RefrainMercy there was great, and grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.

By God's Word at last my sin I learned;

Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.


Now I've given to Jesus everything,Now I gladly own Him as my King,Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary!


Oh, the love that drew salvation's plan!Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!

Refrain

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.

AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS?

Words:Isaac Watts,Music:ARLINGTON, Thomas A. Arne

Am I a soldier of the cross,A follower of the Lamb,And shall I fear to own His cause,Or blush to speak His Name?

Must I be carried to the skiesOn flowery beds of ease,While others fought to win the prize,

And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?Must I not stem the flood?Is this vile world a friend to grace,To help me on to God?

Sure I must fight if I would reign;Increase my courage, Lord.I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,Supported by Thy Word.

Thy saints in all this glorious warShall conquer, though they die;They see the triumph from afar,By faith's discerning eye.

When that illustrious day shall rise,And all Thy armies shineIn robes of victory through skies,The glory shall be Thine.

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES (Wesley)

Words:Charles Wesley,Music:BRADFORD, arranged from George F. Handel

I know that my Redeemer lives,And ever prays for me;A token of His love He gives,A pledge of liberty.

I find him lifting up my head,He brings salvation near,His presence makes me free indeed,

And He will soon appear.

He wills that I should holy be,What can withstand His will?

The counsel of His grace in meHe surely shall fulfill.

Jesus, I hang upon Thy Word;I steadfastly believeThou wilt return and claim me, Lord

And to Thyself receive,

Joyful in hope, my spirit soarsTo meet Thee from above,Thy goodness thankfully adores;

And sure I taste Thy love.

Thy love I soon expect to find,In all its depth and height;To comprehend the eternal mind,

And grasp the Infinite.

When God is Mine and I am His,Of paradise possessed,I taste unutterable bliss,

And everlasting rest.

The bliss of those that fully dwell,Fully in Thee believe,Tis more than angel tongues can tell,Or angel minds conceive.

Thou only knowst, who didst obtain,And die to make it known;

The great salvation now explain,And perfect us in one!

Nearer, My God, to Thee

Words by Sarah F. Adams, Music by Lowell Mason

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!Een though it be a cross that raiseth me,Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God to Thee.Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto Heavn;All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;

Angels to beckon me, nearer, my God to Thee.Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,Out of my stony griefs Bethel Ill raise;So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

MORE LOVE TO THEE, O CHRIST

Words:Elizabeth P. Prentiss,Music:W. Howard Doane

More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;

Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain;Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain,When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee;More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise;This be the parting cry my heart shall raise;

This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
