All my life long I had panted For a drink from some cool spring, That I thought would quench the burning Of the thirst I felt within Feeding on the filth around me Till my strength, it all was gone Longed my soul for something better Only still to hunger on Hallelujah, He has found me He who long my soul has craved He satisfies my every longing Through His blood I am now saved Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life, so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth My Redeemer is to me.

When in grief and pain weighed down I will take my burden to the Lord Whenever I bear the weight of sin and scorn I will take my burden to the Lord What mercy’s mine! He shoulders every care What relief to cast (leave) them there! Whenever I seek support, let it first be prayer I will take my burden to the Lord When the light of joy breaks through I will sing my praises to the Lord Whenever refreshing grace turns grey skies blue I will sing my praises to the Lord Our Father’s heart delights in grateful song And it cheers those suff’ring long When heavenly joy is felt, I will not be still I will sing my praises to the Lord When His weary saints despair Let us bear their burdens in the Lord Whenever they’re even too frail to lift a prayer Let us bear their burdens in the Lord The grace of God who dwells in heav’n above Is brought down in deeds of love Whenever His children faint beneath life’s load Let us bear their burdens in the Lord Linger not in shame and guilt Go and take your burden to the Lord Remember the cross of Christ is pow’rful still Go and take your burden to the Lord Could such a God who freely gave His Son Leave His saving work undone? The burdens of guilty souls still roll away I will take my burden, take my burden I will take my burden to the Lord

Let our faith be seen in the lives we lead Pressing on from words unto truth and deeds As Your perfect Law bares our flaws and stains Let us heed its call to a living faith Let our faith be felt by the poor and weak Those the world would shun, let us love and seek Make Your church the arms of our Lord’s embrace Where Your favor’s felt in a living faith Let our faith be heard in the words we say And the silent grace of a tongue that’s tamed Let all boasts and cursing be turned to praise Till our lives sound forth in a living faith Let our faith grow stronger in every trial Show us, by Your wisdom, within the fire Every perfect gift from the Father’s grace Building up the church to a living faith

O Gracious God, how merciful Are all your ways to me Whose sinful, darkened, rebel mind Was enmity with Thee; Yet now subdued by sovereign grace My spirit feels Your warm embrace How kind are Your ways, O God How precious are Your thoughts, O God Too numerous to know. They fill and flood my feeble heart And captivate my soul How great their sum, how high they rise Cannot be measured with the skies How kind are Your ways, O God O God of heaven, Your majesty Is high above the earth The skies proclaim with endless speech Your glory pow'r and worth Lord, what is man, this wretched foe, That you would love and bless us so? How kind are Your ways, O God Preserved in Jesus, when my soul And feet made haste to hell; And there would I have justly gone But You do all things well; Your love was great, Your mercy free And from the pit you rescued me. How kind are Your ways, O God
5.
Troubles and tears Will often be my portion As sure as sparks fly upward But let me not despair My hope is the Lord who made the earth and heavens Who guides the storms with sovereign care Chorus: Though the darkness falls Though the night is long Still, for the joy of the morning that will rise I raise my song and lift my eyes Cry to the Lord Who makes the sea a pathway Who gives the barren children And shuts the lion’s mouth Look to His saints, though beaten and imprisoned Within the walls their hymns ring out See Christ, the Lord Rejected by His people Delivered up to sinners Abandoned by His friends Hung on a cross, forsaken by His Father All for the joy that lay ahead Hope in the Lord For He will not forsake us His Spirit will sustain us And bear us through the night And if in this life we never see the morning We’ll waken in a world of light

Chosen in grace Before the first days of creation Behold what a love The Father above held in store for us Before we had e’er betrayed Him His kindness was lavished on us Calling sinners His children To make known the praise of His glorious grace In the fullness of time The Savior came down to redeem us Though we were slaves He saw it not shame to be joined to us Paying a sinner’s ransom He freed us and made us His own With the seal of His Spirit We’re heirs of the glories of heaven’s throne Chorus: And now our hearts cry within us Abba Father God For our bonds have been broken We are sons and heirs of God We are sons and heirs of God Let us now live As dearly loved children of promise Setting aside The deeds and desires waging war with us Once we were not a people But now we’re the family of God Set apart by our Father His holy ones purchased with precious blood

Immortal, invisible, God only wise In light, inaccessible, hid from out eyes Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days Almighty, victorious, Your great name we praise Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. To all, life Thou givest – to both great and small, In all life Thou livest – the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on a tree, And wither and perish – but naught changeth Thee Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All praise we would render – O help us to see ‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? (Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Well, were you there when He rose up from the grave? Well, were you there when He rose up from the grave? Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Well, were you there when He rose up from the grave?

Blest be the tie that binds Out hearts in Christian love The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one Our comforts and our cares We share our mutual woes Our mutual burdens bear And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear When we asunder part It gives us inward pain But we shall still be joined in heart And hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives Our courage on the way; While each in expectation lives And longs to see that day From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity

On the land the night had fallen And the people walked in darkness The chosen of the Lord Refused to hear His voice But the Lord had giv’n his promise That a Light would dawn among them And to the lowly shepherds Came the break of morn See the glory of the Lord Fill the sky and shine around them As the angels brought the joyful news “The Savior, Christ, is born” So with haste they went to seek him Whom the hosts of heav’n exalted Whom kings and prophets Waited long to welcome in But no prophets came to greet him And the king despised his rival The Light had come But not in beams for worldly eyes See the glory of the Lord Hidden in the face of Jesus But in every heart that God has shone His truth and grace are clear, known, seen As his birth, so was His story One of glory veiled in suff’ring Of God made flesh To bring eternal life through death Now his humbling work’s accomplished And in victory He’s risen Exalted and returning as our King to reign See the glory of the Lord As He comes in clouds descending Every knee will bow (every prideful heart) And tongue confess (will bow down low) The Savior, Christ, is Lord! Every knee will bow before Him Every tongue confess Him Lord And forever in His light we’ll live All Glory to the Lord!
