We will glorify the King of kings, We will glorify the Lamb

We will glorify the Lord of lords Who is the great I am

Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty, We will bow before His throne

We will worship Him in righteousness, We will worship Him alone

He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, He is Lord of all who live

He is Lord above the universe, All praise to Him we give

Hallelujah to the King of kings, Hallelujah to the Lamb

Hallelujah to the Lord of lords Who is the great I am

P r a i s e G o d

Praise God from whom all blessings flow In heaven above and earth below

Praise God the Father and the Son Praise God the Spirit, three-in-one

From all that dwell beneath the skies Let the Creator’s praise arise

Let our Redeemer’s name be sung Through every land, by every tongue

Eternal are Your mercies, Lord, Eternal truth attends Your Word

Your praise will sound from shore to shore Till suns shall rise and set no more

H e i s J e s u s

There’s a treasure great in beauty Far surpassing earth’s great wealth

He is Jesus, Prince of Glory Source of all grace, peace, and health

There’s a fountain ever flowing Satisfying all who drink He is Jesus, spring of joy

To all who hail Him as their King

There’s a power, holy power Breaking bonds of captive men

He is Jesus, mighty Jesus Holy warrior and sinner’s friend There’s a Savior rich in mercy Quick to pardon all our sins He is Jesus, great Redeemer Reconciling God and man

There’s a glorious Lord returning And all will bow to Him alone

He is Jesus, King of nations Reigning from His gracious throne There is one to whom our praises

Will through every age ascend He is Jesus, King forever

Whose wondrous rule will never end

Oh, the depth of the riches, the wisdom of God How unsearchable His ways

How profound are His judgements, so high above our thoughts And His pathways no man can trace

For from Him and through Him, and to Him are all things To Him be glory forever more, to Him be glory forever

Amen! Amen! A–men!

Oh, the depth of the riches, the wisdom of God How magnificent are His ways

Who has been His advisor and who has counseled Him All He gives us who can repay?

Oh, the depth of the riches, the wisdom of God How immeasurable is His grace

How unfailing His kindness, so far removed His wrath And His mercies are new each day

L e t t h e N a t i o n s B e G l a d

Let the glory of the Lord, forever be our joy. May redemption be the theme of our song.

For by grace we have been saved, and by grace we shall proclaim To the corner of the earth that Christ is come.

Let the nations be glad, let the people rejoice For salvation belongs to our God

Let the whole earth be filled, with the praises of the Lord For salvation belongs to our God

Let the nations be glad.

Through the ages gone before, through the trial and the sword, Many saints and martyrs conquered, though they died. Still, we holding out the cross,

crossing oceans suffering loss, Shall endure all things to win the crown of life.

As your holy church goes forth in the Holy Spirit’s power, With the glories of the gospel to exclaim,

Now we pray your kingdom come, and we pray your will be done For the honor and the glory of Your name.

Words and Music: Matt Boswell, Aaron Boswell, Matt Papa
