Favourites Praise Sunday 15 August 2021

All heaven declares
the glory of the risen Lord;
who can compare
with the beauty of the Lord?
For ever He will be
the Lamb upon the throne;
I gladly bow the knee,
and worship Him alone.

I will proclaim
the glory of the risen Lord,
who once was slain
to reconcile man to God.
For ever You will be
the Lamb upon the throne;
I gladly bow the knee,
and worship You alone.

All heaven declares

and worship Him alone.

Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in Thee;
let the water and the blood,
from Thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Not the labour of my hands
can fulfil Thy law’s demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to Thy cross I cling;
naked, come to Thee for dress,
helpless, look to Thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see Thee on Thy judgement throne;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in Thee.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there is hatred
let me bring Your love;
where there is injury,
Your pardon, Lord;
and where there’s doubt,
true faith in You.

O Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life
let me bring hope;
where there is darkness,
only light;
and where there’s sadness,
ever joy.

O Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned,
in giving to all men
that we receive;
and in dying
that we’re born to eternal life.

As the deer pants for the water,
so my soul longs after You.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.

You alone are my strength, my shield,
to You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.

I want You more than gold or silver,
only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy-giver
and the apple of my eye.
You alone are ...

You alone are my strength, my shield,
to You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.

You’re my friend
and You’re my brother,
even though You are a king.
I love You more than any other,
so much more than anything.

You alone are my strength, my shield,
to You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.

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! 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.

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! 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.

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! 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.

O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer’s praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of His grace!

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
‘tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘tis life, and health, and peace.

Sung by choir

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ:
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy.

My gracious Master, and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad,
the honours of Thy name.
