How Great Thou Art.mp3

1 O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed.
            Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
            ‘How great thou art, how great thou art!’
            Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
            ‘How great thou art, how great thou art!’

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look up from lofty mountain grandeur,
and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:

3 And when I think that God his Son not sparing,
sent him to die – I scarce can take it in,
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
he bled and died to take away my sin:

4 When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
and take me home – what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration
and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

 

I, the Lord of sea and sky

CH4 251

Words & Music: Daniel L. Schutte

 

251 I, the Lord of sea and sky.mp3

1 I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
            Here I am, Lord.
            Is it I, Lord?
            I have heard you calling in the night.
            I will go, Lord,
            if you lead me.
            I will hold your people in my heart.

2 I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my Word to them.
Whom shall I send>

3 I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lane.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

 

You shall go out with joy

CH4 804

Music: Stuart Dauermann
Words: Stuart Dauermann, arr. Roland T. Fudge

 

You Shall Go Out With Joy.mp3

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace,
and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you.
There’ll be shouts of joy, and the trees of the field
shall clap, shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and you’ll go out with joy.
