There is a Redeemer,
Jesus, God’s own Son,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One.
Thank You, O my Father,
for giving us Your Son,
and leaving Your Spirit
till the work on earth is done.
Jesus, my Redeemer,
name above all names,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
O for sinners slain:
Thank You ...
When I stand in glory
I will see His face,
and there I’ll serve my King for ever
in that holy place.
Thank You ...
MP 499
O happy day! that fixed my choice
on Thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
and tell its raptures all abroad.
O happy day! O happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing every day; (hallelujah!)
O happy day! O happy day!
when Jesus washed my sins away.
‘Tis done, the great transaction’s done!
I am my Lord’s and He is mine!
He drew me, and I followed on,
charmed to confess the voice divine.
O happy day...
Now rest, my long-divided heart,
fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
nor ever from the Lord depart,
with Him of every good possessed.
O happy day...
High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
that vow renewed shall daily hear;
till in life’s latest hour I bow,
and bless in death a bond so dear.
O happy day...
MP 449
Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down:
fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
all Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love Thou art;
visit us with Thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all Thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
glory in Thy perfect love.
Finish then Thy new creation:
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see Thy great salvation,
perfectly restored in Thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before Thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.
MP 760
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His word,
what a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey.
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise,
not a cloud in the skies,
but His smile quickly drives it away;
not a doubt nor a fear,
not a sigh nor a tear.
can abide while we trust and obey.
Trust and obey ...
Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil He doth richly repay;
not a grief nor a loss,
not a frown nor a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey ...
But we never can prove
the delights of His love,
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favour He shows,
and the joy He bestows
are for them who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey ...
Then in fellowship sweet,
we will sit at His feet,
or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do,
where He sends we will go,
never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey ...
MP 544
Open my eyes that I may see
glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
ready, my God, Thy will to see;
open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
Open my ears that I may hear
voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
and while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait ...
Open my mouth and let me bear
tidings of mercy everywhere;
open my heart and let me prepare
love with ‘My children thus to share.
Silently now I wait ...
Open my mind, that I may read
more of Thy love in word and deed:
what shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.
Silently now I wait ...
MP 770
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
when the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
fastened to the rock which cannot move,
grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
when the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rage, and the wild winds blow,
shall the angry waves then your bark o’erflow?
We have an anchor ...
Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
when the waters cold chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide you can never fail,
while your anchor holds within the veil.
We have an anchor ...
Will your eyes behold through the morning light,
the city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
when life’s storms are past for evermore?
We have an anchor ...
