THE LORD HAS GIVEN A LAND OF GOOD THINGS

Author unknown

The Lord has given a land of good things
I will press in and make them mine.
I’ll know His power, I’ll know His glory
And in His Kingdom I will shine.

With the high praises of God in our mouth
And a two edged sword in our hand
We will march right on to the victory side
Right into Canaan’s land.

Gird up your armor, ye sons of Zion
Gird up your armor, let’s go to war.
We’ll win this battle, with great rejoicing
And so we’ll praise him more and more
ST PATRICK’s BREASTPLATE
Arranged by Nick Alexander

Christ be with me
Christ within me
Christ behind me
Christ before me
Christ beside me
Christ to win me
Christ to comfort
And restore me

Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ in quiet
Christ in danger
Christ in hearts of
all that love me
Christ in mouth of
friend and stranger.

IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE
Walt Chalmers Smith, 1867; ST. DENIO / Welsh Melody

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy 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 the tree,
And wither and perish but nought changeth thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.
ROMANS 11:33
Nick Alexander

O the depth
of the riches
of the wisdom
and the knowledge of God

How incomprehensible
His judgments
How unsearchable His ways

BE STILL AND KNOW
Author unknown

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God

I am the Lord that healeth Thee…

In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust…

BE THOU MY VISION
Traditional Irish Melody

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence, my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my Great Father, I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.

Riches I need not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou my inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure, Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys O bright heaven’s Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE
Come and go with me, to my Father’s house
to my Father’s house, to my Father’s house
Come and go with me, to my Father’s house
Where there’s joy, joy, joy.

We will clap our hands…
There is liberty…

COME GO WITH ME TO THAT LAND
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land Where I’m bound…
Come and go with me to that land
Come and go with me to that land
To that land, to that land Where I’m bound.

Be singing and dancing in that land…
You’re gonna meet Jesus in that land…

THERE’S NEW LIFE IN JESUS
There’s new life in Jesus, lift up your heart!
There’s new life in Jesus, lift up your heart!
Lift up your heart! Lift up your heart!
There’s new life in Jesus, lift up your heart!

JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
Charles Wesley, Simeon B. Walsh
New arrangement by Nick Alexander

Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Your bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storms of life be past
Safe into Your haven guide,
Lord receive my soul at last.

1. Other refuge, have I none, Lord
I hang my helpless soul on Thee
Please don’t leave me all alone, Lord
But support and comfort me.

2. Plenteous grace, with Thee, I’ve found, Lord
Grace to cleanse from ev’ry sin.
Let Your healing streams abound, Lord
Make and keep me pure, within.

[Bridge]:
All my trust is in Your stead
(All my help from Thee I cling)
Cover my defenseless head
(With the shadow of Your wing)
Lord, spring up within my heart;
(Rise to all eternity)
You’re the fountain;
Let me drink of Thee!

SWEEP OVER MY SOUL

Sweep over my soul
Sweep over my soul
Sweet Spirit, sweep over my soul
My rest is complete
When I sit at Your feet
Sweet Spirit, sweep over my soul

ENTIRELY TO THEE
Nick Alexander and Ed Luchansky

I surrender all
Entirely to Thee
I pledge my life, my will
Entirely to Thee

I give unto Thee
All I am
Entirely to Thee
All I am.

For You know all my needs
And I know You will provide
And You show me,
You’ll never leave my side.

(Lord, You know…)

I’VE GOT THE JOY

We got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in our heart (Where?)
Down in our heart (Where?)
Down in our heart
We got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in our heart (Where?)
Down in our heart to stay!

We’ve got the love, love, love, love…

And we’re so happy, so very happy!
We’ve got the love of Jesus in our heart!
And we’re so happy, so very happy!
We’ve got the love of Jesus in our heart!

… Peace that Passeth understanding…
… Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit…
… Wonderful love of our blessed Redeemer
Way down in the depths of our heart! (Huh?)

And if the Devil doesn’t like it
he can sit on a tack! (Ouch!)…

O FOR A HEART TO PRAISE MY GOD
Charles Wesley, James Walsh (1837-1901)

O for a heart to praise my God
A heart from sin set free!
A heart that’s sprinkled with the blood
So freely shed for me.

A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer’s throne
Where only Christ is heart to speak
Where Jesus reigns alone.

A humble, lowly, contrite heart
Believing, true and clean
Which neither death nor life can part
From Him that dwells within.

A heart in ev’ry thought renewed
And filled with love divine;
Perfect and right, and pure and good
A copy, Lord, of Thine.

Thy nature, gracious Lord impart
Come quickly from above
Write Thy new name upon my heart
Thy name, best name, of Love.

O LOVE WHO FORMEDST ME TO WEAR
G. Neumark, 1621-81, J. Scheffler 1621-77

O Love, who formedst me to wear
The image of Thy Godhead here;
Who soughtest me with tender care
Through all my wand’rings wild and drear;

O Love, I give myself to Thee
Thine ever, only Thine to be.

O Love, who ere life’s earliest dawn
On me Thy choice hast gently laid;
O Love, who here as Man wast born
And like to us in all things made;

O Love, I give myself to Thee
Thine ever, only Thine to be.

O Love, who once in time wast slain,
Pierced through and through with bitter woe
O Love, who wrestling thus didst gain
That we, eternal joy, might know;

O Love, of Whom is truth and light,
The word and Spirit, life and pow’r;
Whose heart was bared to them that smite,
To shield us in our trial hour;

O Love, I give myself to Thee
Thine ever, only Thine to be.

O Love, who lovest me for ay,
Who for my soul dost ever plead
O Love, who didst my ransom pay
Whose pow’r sufficeth in my stead;

JESUS, JESUS,
LET ME TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR SPIRIT
I LOVE YOU SO

O Love, who once shalt bid me rise
From out this dying life of ours
O Love, who once above yon skies
shalt set me in the fadeless bowers;

O Love, I give myself to Thee
Thine ever, only Thine to be.

COME, YE THANKFUL PEOPLE COME
Public Domain, Arr. by Nick Alexander

1. Come, ye thankful people come
Raise the song of harvest home
All are safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin
God our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied
Come to God’s own temple, come
Raise the song of harvest home

3. For the Lord, our God shall come
And shall take His harvest home
From His field, shall in that day
All offenses purge away
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.

2. All the world is God’s own field
Fruit unto His praise to yield
Grant O harvest Lord that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be

4. Even so, Lord quickly come
To Your final harvest home
Gather all Your people in
Free from sorrow, free from sin
There, forever purified
In Your presence to abide
Come with all Your angels come
Raise the glorious harvest home.

2. All the world is God’s own field
Fruit unto His praise to yield
Wheat and tares together sown
Unto joy or sorrow grown
First the blade and then the ear
Then the full corn shall appear
Grant O harvest Lord that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be

3. Lord, our God, one day You’ll come
And You’ll take Your harvest home
From Your field, You’ll in that day
All offenses purge away
Give Your angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears You’ll store
In Your garner evermore.
CHILDREN OF THE KING
by Robert Filoramo, Jr.

O Lord we are Your children washed clean and set free
Jesus is our brother, we’re children of the King

And so we raise our hands to You
as we dance around and sing
’coz Dad You are wonderful,
You’re the great and mighty King.

You’re the Alpha, the Omega,
the First and the Last
You’re the One who made the universe.
But best of all, You’re our Dad.

WE DELIGHT IN YOU LORD
Unknown

We delight in You, Lord, with all our mind
With all our heart and our soul [2x]

And as we wait upon You, Lord, we grow stronger [3x]
Everyday, everyday, everyday.

EXALTED IN GLORY (PSALM 8)
Nick Alexander

O Lord, Our Lord, How majestic is Your Name
In all the earth, How majestic is Your Name

O Lord, our Lord, You are exalted in glory
Above the heavens, and beyond the earth
You are exalted in glory

Out of the mouths of babes and infants
You have ordained praise. [repeat]

When I behold Your heavens
The work of Your fingers
I can’t comprehend how You can behold man
How You can give attention to Him
You give to Him dominion
Over all Your creation
And even now, man is crowned
With Your great adulation.

LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
by Blessed John Henry Newman

Lead kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom
Lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home
Lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene, one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path but now
Lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day and spite of fears.
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.

So long Thy pow’r hath blest me sure it still
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er cragg and torrent till
The night is gone.
And with the morn, those angel faces smile.
Which I have loved, long since and lost awhile.

NOT MY WILL
Author unknown

Not my will, but Yours be done
But let the fullness of the Son
Rule within this life that I have offered Thee.
Until ev’rything I do
Becomes the thing that pleases You
Abba Father, I would be Your son indeed.

Not our will, but Yours be done
O let the fullness of the Son
Rule within our lives that we have offered Thee.
Lord, let everything we do
Be only that which pleases You.
Abba Father, let us be, Your sons indeed.

There’s a River of Life

There’s a river of life flowing out of me.
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
Opens prison doors, sets the captive free
There’s a river of life flowing out of me.
Spring up O well, within my soul
Spring up O well, and make me whole
Spring up O well, and give to me
That life abundantly

There’s New Life In Jesus

There’s New Life In Jesus, Lift up your heart
There’s New Life In Jesus, Lift up your heart
Lift up your heart, Lift up your heart
There’s New Life In Jesus, Lift up your heart

We See the Lord

We see the Lord, we see the Lord
And He is high and lifted up, and His train fills the temple
And He is high and lifted up, and His train fills the temple
The angels cry “Holy!”
The angels cry “Holy!”
The angels cry “Holy is the Lord!”

Come and Go With Me To That Land

Come and Go With Me To That Land

Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Hm who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all!
Hail Hm who saves you by His grace

3. Let every kindred, ev’ry tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all!

4. O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlastng song
And crown Him Lord of all!
We’ll join the everlastng song
And crown Him Lord of all!

Be Still My Soul

1. Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side!
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God, to order + provide
In ev’ry chg, th faithful will remain
Be still my soul,thy best, thy heav’nly friend
Thru thorny ways, leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still my soul, thy God doth undertake,
to guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know.
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

I Rejoiced

I rejoiced when they said to me
“Let us go to the house of the Living God”
And now my feet are standing
Within your walls, O Jerusalem.

1. I see Your glory, glory, glory, my God
Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

2. I sense Your power, power, power, my God
Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

3. You are holy, holy, holy, my God
