Rock of Ages
04:17

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress
Helpless look to Thee for grace
Foul, I to the fountain fly
Wash me, Savior, or I die
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See thee on thy judgment throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord, who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee;
Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace
I felt my Lord’s atoning blood close to my soul applied
Me, me He loved, the Son of God, for me, for me He died
Glory to God, praise and love are forever given
By saints below, saints above, the church in earth and heaven
He speaks, and, listening to His voice, new life the dead receive
His spirit leads us to the choice, and brings us to believe
He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me
Look unto Him, you nations, own your God, you fallen race
Look, and be saved through faith alone, be justified by grace
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim
To spread throughout the Earth abroad the honors of your name

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

The Solid Rock
05:14
|
|||
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
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When every earthly prop gives way
He then is all my Hope and Stay
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Clothed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

The Love of God
03:50
|
|||
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can tell
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forever and ever more endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
When ancient time shall pass away, earth’s thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray, on rocks and mountains call
God’s love so sure, will still endure, all measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—salvation is our song
Could we with ink the ocean fill, were skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, each man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain it, though stretched from sky to sky

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing
Our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great; and armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing
Were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing
You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth, His name, from age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And though this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That Word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also
The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
