Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea, a great High Priest Whose name is love, Whoever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands. My name is written on His heart. I know that while in heav’n He stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see Him there Who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God, the Just, is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable, I AM, the King of glory and of grace. One with Himself, I cannot die. My soul is purchased by His blood. My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God.

My Shepherd is the Lord Who knows my needs, and I am blest; by quiet streams, in pastures green, He leads and makes me res. My soul He saves and for His own Name’s sake He guides my feet the paths of right to take.
Tho’ in death’s vale and shadow be my way I fear no ill, for Thou art near, Thy rod and staff my stay and comfort still. My table Thou dost spread before my foes, my head Thou dost anoint, my cup o’erflows.
The goodness and the mercy that have aye upon me shown shall surely follow me thro’ all the way till life is done; and evermore Jehovah’s house shall be my dwelling place thro’ all eternity.

Make a joyful sound unto the Lord all ye lands and serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves; for we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Come into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.

Lord, I stretch my hands to Thee; no other help I know. If Thou shouldst leave me all alone where, then shall I go? Oh, Lord, I give my soul to Thee. I seek Thy care and love. No other blessings do I need but those from Thee above. Lord, I ask Thee: give me faith, and help me understand. And, Lord, when I this life shall leave, just hold me in Thy hand. Lord, I stretch my hands to Thee; no other help I know. If Thou shouldst leave me all alone where, then shall I go? Oh, Lord, I stretch my hands to Thee. Amen.

05 Song of Comfort
03:20
|
|||
|
What is my only comfort in life and in death? That I am not my own but belong body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life, and makes me wholeheartedly willing, makes me willing and ready from now on to live for Him!

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light; take my hand, precious Lord, led me home.
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry ev’rything to God in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near, when my life is almost gone, hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall: take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. Precious Lord, what a Friend!

O God of God, O Light of Light, Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of Kings, to Thee, where angels know no night, the song of praise forever rings. To Him Who sits upon the throne, the Lamb once slain for sinful men, be honor, might, all by Him won, glory and praise. Amen, amen, worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign. Sing to the Lord a glorious song, sing to His Name, His love forth-tell; sing on, heav’ns hosts, His praise prolong; sing ye who now on earth do dwell. Alleluia! All praise to heav’ns eternal King. Amen.

09 Fairest Lord Jesus
05:21
|
|||
|
Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nations, O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring: Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, and all the twinkling starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer than all the angels heav’n can boast.
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of man! Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forevermore be Thine! Amen.

10 The Morning Trumpet
02:35
|
|||
|
O when shall I see Jesus and reign with Him above, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning; and from the flowing fountain drink everlasting love, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Chorus: O shout - “Glory!” I shall mount above the skies when I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
But now I am a soldier, and my captain’s gone before, and I hear the trumpet sound in that morning. He’s given me my orders and He bids me ne’er give o’er, till I hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Chorus
When shall I be delivered from this vain world of sin, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And with my blessed Jesus drink endless pleasures in, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Chorus

O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns Thine only crown. How pale Thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish which once was bright as morn!
What Thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinners’ gain. Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ‘Tis I deserve Thy place. Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, for this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for Thee!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul? O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down.

When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll: whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control, that Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul. Chorus: It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought; my sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, I my soul! Chorus
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll. The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, even so, it is well with my soul. Chorus

13 Sing Your Way Home
03:12
|
|||
|
Sing your way home at the close of day. Sing your way home. Drive the shadows away. Where’er you go, wherever you roam, it will brighten your road; lighten your load if you sing. Sing your way home. Just sing, sing your way home. Goin’ home. Goin’ home, goin’ home. Lord, I’m goin’ home. Goin’ home, goin’ home, nevermore to roam. I am goin’ home. Sing! Sing your way home.
|

14. |
||||
|
Chorus: One faith, one hope, one Lord, one church for which He died. One voice, one song we lift in praise to Him Who was and is and shall be evermore.
There is one body, one Spirit, as you were called to one hope. One Lord, baptism and faith, one God and Father of all, Who is in you all.
Thou we be many people, diverse with various gifts, we are given to eachother for the unity of faith, that we grow in the knowledge of the Son of God, in the fullness of Christ. Chorus
