Oh Sing a New Song to the Lord

Oh sing a new song to the Lord,
for wonders God has done,
whose right hand and whose holy arm
the victory has won.

Let all the earth unto the Lord
send forth a joyful noise;
lift up your voice aloud to God,
sing praises, and rejoice.

Let seas and all their fullness roar,
the world, and dwellers there;
let floods clap hands before the Lord;
let hills their joy declare.

Oh sing for joy before the Lord
who comes in victory
to judge the world with righteousness,
and rule with equity.

(Words: Psalm 98; paraphrase, Scottish Psalter 1650, © The Presbyterian Church in Canada, 1997. Music: Public Domain. Church CCLI # 2458953)

Psalm 84

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!

2 My soul longs, indeed it faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh
sing for joy to the living God.

3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.

4 Happy are those who live in Your house,
ever singing Your praise.

5 Happy are those whose strength is in You,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6 As they go through the valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength;
the God of gods will be seen in Zion.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob!

9 Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of Your anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in
the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
He bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
happy is everyone who trusts in You.

We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations

We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
that shall turn their hearts to the right,
a story of truth and mercy,
a story of peace and light,
a story of peace and light,
for the darkness shall turn to dawning
and the dawning to noonday bright,
and Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

We’ve a song to be sung to the nations,
that shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
a song that shall conquer evil
and shatter the spear and sword,
and shatter the spear and sword,
for the darkness shall turn to dawning
and the dawning to noonday bright,
and Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

We’ve a message to give to the nations,
that the Lord who reigneth above
hath sent us His Son to save us,
and show us that God is love,
and show us that God is love,
for the darkness shall turn to dawning
and the dawning to noonday bright,
and Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

Shout to the Lord

My Jesus, my Saviour,
Lord, there is none like You,
all of my days, I want to praise
the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter
tower of refuge and strength
let every breath, all that I am
never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the Earth, let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Shout to the Lord, all the Earth, let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have . . .
nothing compares to the promise I have . . .

It Is Well With My Soul

(Words: Horatio G. Stafford, Music: Philip P. Bliss.  Public Domain. Church CCLI # 2458953)

How Firm a Foundation

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in God’s excellent word!
What more can God say
than to you hath been said,
To you, who for refuge, to Jesus have fled?

“Fear not, I am with thee,
Oh be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.”

“When through the deep waters
I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”

“When through fiery trials
thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.”

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not — I will not — desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell
should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never — no, never — no, never forsake!

In the Bulb There is a Flower

In the bulb there is a flower,
in the seed, an apple tree,
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there’s a spring that waits to be;
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there’s a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning,
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing,
in our life, eternity;
in our death, a resurrection,
at the last, a victory;
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

Jesus Calls Us Here to Meet Him

Jesus calls us here to meet Him,
as through word, and song, and prayer,
we affirm God’s promised presence
where His people live and care.
Praise the God who keeps His promise;
praise the Son who calls us friends;
praise the Spirit who, among us,
to our hopes and fears attends.

Jesus calls us to confess Him
Word of Life and Lord of all,
sharer of our flesh and frailness
saving all who fail or fall.
Tell His holy human story;
tell His tales that all may hear;
tell the world that Christ in glory
came to earth to meet us here.

Jesus calls us to each each other:
Found in Him are no divides.
Race and gender, class and language:
such are barriers He derides.
Join the hands of friend and stranger;
join the hands of age and youth;
join the faithful and the doubter
in their common search for Truth.

Will You Come and Follow Me

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?
Will you let My love be shown;
will you let My name be known;
will you let My life be grown in you and you in Me?

Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
should your life attract or scare?
Will you let Me answer prayer in you and you in Me?

Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
and do such as this unseen,
and admit to what I mean in you and you in Me?

Will you love the “you” you hide if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you’ve found
to reshape the world around,
through My sight and touch and sound
in you and you in Me?

Lord, Your summons echoes true
when You but call my name.
Let me turn and follow You and never be the same.
In Your company I’ll go
where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow in You and You in me.

The Lord’s My Light

The Lord’s my light and saving health;
who shall make me dismayed?
God is the stronghold of my life:
who shall make me afraid?

Though wars arise and armies camp
against me, I’ll not fear;
I will stand firm and confident:
I know that God is near.

One thing I asked of God the Lord,
and will seek to obtain,
that all days of my life I may
within God’s house remain.

Now I will offer thanksgiving
for all God’s saving grace,
with melody unto the Lord
and joyful shouts of praise!

To God be the glory! Great things He had 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.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory; great things He hath done!

Oh 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!

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 hath done!

Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer and higher and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see!
