O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy Hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the roaring thunder
Thy power throughout
the universe displayed
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!
And when I think
that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross
my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
to take away my sin
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come
with shout of acclamation
And take me home
what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
in humble adoration
And there proclaim
"My God, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!
2. Did You Think To Pray / I Need Thee Every Hour
’Ere you left your room this morning
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ, our Savior?
Did you sue for loving favor
As a shield today
Oh how praying rest the weary
Prayer will change the night to day
So when life gets dark and dreary
Don’t forget to pray
When your heart was filled with anger
Did you think to pray
Did you plead for grace my brother
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way
Oh how praying rest the weary
Prayer will change the night to day
So when life gets dark and dreary
Don’t forget to pray
I need Thee every hour
Stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou are near
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour
Most Holy One
Oh, make Thine indeed
Thou blessed Son
I need Thee oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee
3. I Am A Child of God
I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday
I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand His words
Before it grows too late
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday
I am a child of God
Rich blessings are in store
If I but learn to do His will
I’ll live with Him once more
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday
4. Teach Me To Walk In The Light / I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go
Teach me to walk
in the light of His love
Teach me to pray to my Father above
Teach me to know
of the things that are right
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light
Come little children
and together we’ll learn
Of His commandments
that we may return
Home to His presence
to live in his sight
Always, always to walk in the light
Father in heaven
we thank Thee this day
For loving guidance to show
us the way
Grateful we praise Thee
with songs of delight
Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light
It may not be on a mountain height
Or o’er the stormy sea
It may not be at the battles front
My Lord will have need of me
But if by still small voice he calls
To paths that I do not know
I’ll answer dear Lord
with my hand in thine
I’ll go where you want me to go
I’ll go where you want
me to go, dear Lord
Over mountain or plain or sea
I’ll say what you want
me to say, dear Lord
I’ll be what you want me to be
5. I Know My Redeemer Lives
I know that my Redeemer lives
What comfort this
sweet sentence gives
He lives he lives,
who once was dead
He lives my ever-living head
He lives to bless me with his love
He lives to plead for me above
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to bless in time of need
He lives to grant me rich supply
He lives to guide me with His eyes
He lives to comfort me went faint
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint
He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessings to impart
He lives my kind, wise,
heavenly friend
He lives and loves me to the end
He lives and while he lives I’ll sing
He lives my Prophet, Priest and King
He lives and grants me daily breath
He lives and I shall conquer death
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there
He lives all glory to his name
He lives my Savior still the same
Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives
He lives all glory to His name.
He lives my Savior still the same
Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives
6. My Holliness Give Me
More holiness give me
more strivings within
More patience in suffering
more sorrow for sin
More faith in my Savior
more sense of His care
More joy in His service
more purpose in prayer
More gratitude give me,
more trust in the Lord
More pride in His glory,
more hope in His word
More tears for His sorrows,
more pain at His grief
More meekness in trial,
more praise for relief
More purity give me,
more strength to o’ercome,
More freedom from earth-stains,
more longing for home
More fit for the kingdom,
more used I’d be,
More blessed and holy,
more, Savior, like Thee
7. Because I Have Been Given Much / Our Saviour’s Love
Because I have been given much
I too must give
Because of thy great bounty Lord
Each day I live
I shall divide gifts from thee
With every brother that see
Who has the need of help from me
Because I have been sheltered, fed
By thy good care
I cannot see another’s lack and I not share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
my roof saved shelter overhead
That he to me be comforted
Because I have been blessed by
thy great love dear Lord
I’ll share thy love again
According to thy word
I shall give love to those in need
I’ll show that love by word and deed
Thus shall my thanks be thanks in deed
Our Savior’s love
Shines like the sun
with perfect light
As from above
It breaks through clouds of strife
Lighting our way
It leads us back in to His sight
Where we may stay
To share eternal life
Our Father, God
Of all creation hear us pray
In reverence of
by thy son’s sacrifice
Praises we sing
We love thy lot,
We will obey
Our heavenly King
In thee our hearts rejoice
8. I Stand All Amazed
I stand all amazed
That the love Jesus offers me
Confused at the grace
That so fully He proffers me
I tremble to know that
for me He was crucified
That for me, a sinner,
He suffered, He bled and died
Oh, it is wonderful that
He should care for me
enough to die for me
Oh, it is wonderful
Wonderful to me
I marvel that He would
descend from His throne divine
To rescue a soul
so rebellious and proud as mine
That he should extend
His great love unto such as I
Sufficient to own,
to redeem and to justify
Oh, it is wonderful
that He should care for me
enough to die for me
Oh, it is wonderful
Wonderful to me
I think of his hands,
pierced and bleeding
to pay the debt
Such mercy, such love
and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise
and adore at the mercy seat
Until at the glorified
throne I kneel at His feet
Oh, it is wonderful
that he should care for me
enough to die for me
Oh, it is wonderful
Wonderful to me
9. Abide With Me ’Tis Eventide
Abide with me ’tis eventide
The day has past and gone
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on
Within my heart a welcome guest,
Within my home abide
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
Abide with me; ’tis eventide
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart
within me burn,
As I communed with thee
Thy earnest words
have filled my soul
And kept me near thy side
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
Abide with me; ’tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee,
Nor find in thee my light
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide
O Saviour, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
O Saviour, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide
10. Love One Another / God Be With You
As I have loved you
Love one another
This new commandment
Love one another
By this shall men know
Ye are my disciples
If ye have loved one to another
God be with you ’til meet again
By His counsels guide uphold you
With His sheep securely fold you
God be with you ’til we meet again
’Til we meet, ’til we meet
’Til we meet at Jesus feet
’Til we meet, ’til we meet
God be with you ’til we meet again
God be with you ’til we meet again
