My Redeemer 04:56
1 I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me; on the cruel cross he suffered, from the curse to set me free. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free. 2 I will tell the wondrous story, how my lost estate to save, in his boundless love and mercy, he the ransom freely gave. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free. 3 I will sing of my Redeemer and his heavenly love for me; he from death to life has brought me, Son of God, with him to be. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.

Awake, my heart; arise, my tongue, Prepare a tuneful voice; In God, the life of all my joys, Aloud will I rejoice. 'Tis he adorned my naked soul, And made salvation mine; Upon a poor polluted worm He makes his graces shine. And lest the shadow of a spot Should on my soul be found, He took the robe the Savior wrought, And cast it all around. How far the heav'nly robe exceeds What earthly princes wear These ornaments, how bright they shine! How white the garments are! The Spirit wrought my faith, and love, And hope, and every grace; But Jesus spent his life to work The robe of righteousness. Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed By the great Sacred Three! In sweetest harmony of praise Let all thy powers agree.

1 Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme And speak some boundless thing; The mighty works or mightier Name Of our eternal King. 2 Tell of His wondrous faithfulness And sound His pow'r abroad; Sing the sweet promise of His grace, The love and truth of God. 3 His very word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all the promises. 4 O might I hear Thy heav'nly tongue But whisper, "Thou art mine!" Those gentle words shall raise my song To notes almost divine.

Christ the Life of all the living, Christ the Death of death our foe, Who Thyself for us once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath But to save my soul from death; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. Thou, ah Thou, hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod, Pain and scorn were heap'd upon Thee O Thou sinless Son of God, Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. That Thou wast so meek and stainless Doth atone for my proud mood; And Thy death makes dying painless, All Thy ills have wrought our good; Yea, the shame Thou didst endure Is my honour and my cure; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last most bitter cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. Chorus: On Christ the solid Rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In ev'ry high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. [Chorus] 3 His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. [Chorus] 4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. [Chorus]

1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And wilfully in sin remain, Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The Law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all; It dooms us for our sin to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

Man of Sorrows! what a name, For the Son of God, Who came Ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; Sealed my pardon with His blood. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Now praise the Risen Lamb, Who is the great I AM! Guilty, vile, and helpless we; Spotless Lamb of God was He; “Full atonement!” can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lifted up was He to die; “It is finished!” was His cry; Now in Heav’n exalted high. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Now praise the Risen Lamb, Who is the great I AM! When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew His song we’ll sing: Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lift every voice and sing, to praise our glorious King!

Teach me your ways, O Lord And I will walk in your truth Give me an undivided heart That I may fear your name (2x) For great is your love You have delivered me From the depths of the grave (women) From the depths of the grave (men) My soul you save I will praise you, O Lord My God, with all my heart Your name I’ll glorify Your name you’ll glorify (2x) For great is your love You have delivered me From the depths of the grave (women) From the depths of the grave (men) My soul you save

Just are Thy ways, and true Thy Word, Great Rock of my secure abode Who is a God beside our Lord, Or where is a refuge like our God, like our God? ‘Tis He that girds me with His might, Gives me His holy sword to wield And while with sin and hell I fight, Spreads His salvation for my shield, for my shield He lives and blessed be my Rock! The God of my salvation lives The dark designs of hell are broke, Sweet is the peace my Father gives Before the scoffers of the age, I will exalt my Father’s name Nor tremble at their mighty rage, But meet reproach and bear the shame, bear the shame He lives and blessed be my Rock! The God of my salvation lives The dark designs of hell are broke, Sweet is the peace my Father gives Bridge: To all the ones for which You bled-----Thy grace forever shall extend Thy love to saints in Christ their Head----Knows not a limit, nor an end He lives and blessed be my Rock! The God of my salvation lives The dark designs of hell are broke, Sweet is the peace my Father gives

Faint were we, and fears possessed us, bruised were we from many falls Hope was gone, and shame distressed us, but His love would pardon all. We were lost when Jesus found us, found the sheep that went astray. Raised us up, broke and bound us, taught our hearts to know His way. Chorus: We will sing, Bathed in His riches. We will sing Of the love he spoke in blood. We will sing We are held by His promise. We are carried by the faithfulness of our God. Days of darkness still may meet us, Sorrow’s path we will oft tread; But His presence still is with us, by his guiding hand we’re led. He will keep us till the river, Rolls its waters at our feet: Then He’ll bear us safely over, There His beauty we will meet. (Chorus) Faint were we, and fears possessed us, bruised were we from many falls Hope was gone, and shame distressed us, but His love would pardon all. (Chorus)

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord I wait for God, my Savior, my God will hear me (2x) We will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever We will walk in the name of the Lord our God We will walk in the name of the Lord our God Forever, forever, forever Everyday may I be on my knees Asking only that He be glorified in me (2x) I will walk in the name of the Lord my God forever I will walk in the name of the Lord my God I will walk in the name of the Lord my God Forever, forever, forever Though the road we walk at times is dark He will guide us with the light of His presence (2x) We will walk…

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold the King of glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near, The Savior of the world is here, The King of kings is drawing near! A helper just he comes to thee, is chariot is humility, His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress. O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes, O happy hearts and happy homes! Fling wide the portals of your heart; Make it a temple, set apart From earthly use for heav’n’s employ, Adorned with prayer and love and joy. Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me thy inner presence feel; Thy grace and love in me reveal, Let me thy inner presence feel! So come, my Sovereign, enter in! Let new and nobler life begin! Thy Holy Spirit, guide us on, Until the glorious crown be won. (repeat chorus)

Not what these hands have done can save this guilty soul Not what this toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God Not all my prayers nor sighs nor tears can ease my awful load Thy work alone, my Savior, can ease this weight of sin Thy blood alone O Lamb of God, can give me peace within Thy love to me O God, not mine, O Lord to Thee Can rid me of this dark unrest and set my spirit free I praise the God of grace, I trust His love and might He calls me His, I call Him mine; my God, my joy, my light! Thy work alone, my Savior, can ease this weight of sin Thy blood alone O Lamb of God, can give me peace within
