Lyrics for this Album
1. How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed;
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
(chorus) Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! Then How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
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.
When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"
(chorus) Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! Then How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art
2. Lord, Teach Us to Pray
Lord, teach us to pray,
as in your presence we are kneeling;
We, children of God, are waiting our souls to be blessed.
Send down from above tokens of love,
Your heart revealing,
And help us each day to make our requests;
Lord, teach us to pray.
Lord, teach us to pray,
open the mighty doors of Heaven;
So little we know, to make our requests as we ought.
Rich blessings descend, your matchless grace to us is given.
Bring into submission all of our thoughts;
Lord, teach us to pray.
3. The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done, in earth
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation;
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
And the glory, forever.
Amen.
4. A Missionary Prayer
Once again dear Lord, we pray,
For the children far away,
Who have never even heard
Name of Jesus, sweetest word.
Little lips that Thou hast made,
‘Neath the far off temples’ shade,
Give to gods of wood and stone
Praise that should be all Thine own.
Little hands, whose wondrous skill,
Thou hast given to do Thy will,
Off’rings bring, and serve with fear
gods that cannot see or hear.
Teach them, O Thou heav’nly King,
All their gifts and praise to bring
To Thy Son, Who died to prove
Thy forgiving, saving love.
5. A Tender Heart
Lord Jesus take me; Lord Jesus, use me;
Lord Jesus send me; Lord here’s my heart.
Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me;
I would give my heart to Thee.
Thy devoted servant make me,
Only Thine to be.
Savior, while my heart is tender
I would give Thee eve’ry part.
All my talents I surrender;
I am Thine Lord, here’s my heart.
Use me now, Lord Jesus, use me
I would tell of Calvary.
May Thy Spirit move within me,
bringing souls to Thee.
Savior, while my heart is tender
I would give Thee ev’ry part
All my talents I surrender;
I am Thine Lord, here’s my heart.
Lord Jesus take me; Lord Jesus, use me;
Lord Jesus send me; Lord here’s my heart.
Send me now, Lord Jesus, send me;
Lead me in Thy perfect way.
Thy command shall always guide me;
Gladly I obey.
Savior, while my heart is tender,
I would give Thee eve’ry part.
All my talents I surrender;
I am Thine Lord, here’s my heart.
Lord Jesus take me; Lord Jesus, use me;
Lord Jesus send me; Lord here’s my heart.
6. Lord, Send Me Anywhere
Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me;
Lay any burden on me, only sustain me.
Sever any tie, save the tie that binds me to Thy heart
Lord, Jesus, my King
I consecrate my life, Lord, to Thee.
O Lord, since Thou hast died to give Thyself for me,
No sacrifice could be too great for me to make for Thee.
Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me;
Lay any burden on me, only sustain me.
Sever any tie, save the tie that binds me to Thy heart
Lord, Jesus, my King
I consecrate my life, Lord, to Thee.
I follow Thee my Lord, and glory in Thy cross;
I gladly leave the world behind, and count all gain as loss.
Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me;
Lay any burden on me, only sustain me.
Sever any tie, save the tie that binds me to Thy heart
Lord, Jesus, my King
I consecrate my life, Lord, to Thee.
7. O Lord On High
Lord on high, we pray Thee guide us,
And keep our hearts in Thy own care.
When dark our way, with light provide us,
Teach us Thy righteousness to share,
Teach us Thy righteousness to share.
Lead Thou us on through dangers low ‘ring,
Be thou our shield in fears o’erpow’ring.
Oh, let Thy mercy e’er be our guard,
Over our life keep watch and ward,
Over our life keep watch and ward.
8. Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring
Jesus, joy of man's desiring,
Holy Wisdom, Love most bright;
Drawn by Thee, our souls, aspiring,
Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashion'd,
With the fire of life impassion'd,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying, round Thy throne.
Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings!
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown.
9. My Song
Thou Whom seraphs joy in praising,
Thou, Whom angel hosts adore.
Can my stamm'ring tongue be silent
When I owe Thee so much more.
Refrain
So my song must swell the chorus
While the angels' praises ring.
I, a sinner saved and pardoned,
Have more cause than they to sing.
All undone by sin and evil,
Child of condemnation I,
Yet Thou laid aside Thy glory
And for me came down to die.
Heir of heaven Thou hast made me,
Bought me with Thy precious blood,
Took the form of man upon Thee
That I might be child of God.
10. This Day God Gives Me
1. This day God gives me
Strength of high heaven,
Sun and moon shining,
Flame in my hearth,
Flashing of lightning,
Wind in its swiftness,
Deeps of the ocean,
Firmness of earth.
2. This day God sends me
Strength as my steersman,
Might to uphold me,
Wisdom as guide.
Your eyes are watchful,
Your ears are list’ning,
Your lips are speaking,
Friend at my side.
3. God’s way is my way,
God’s shield is round me,
God’s host defends me,
Saving from ill.
Angels of heaven,
Drive from me always
All that would harm me,
Stand by me still.
4. Rising, I thank you
Mighty and strong One,
King of creation,
Giver of rest,
Firmly confessing
Threeness of Persons,
Oneness of Godhead,
Trinity blest.
11. My Song in the Night
O Jesus my Savior,
my song in the night,
Come to me with Thy tender Love,
my soul’s delight.
Unto thee, O Lord in affliction I call,
my comfort by day and my song in the night.
O why should I wander,
an alien from Thee,
or cry in the desert Thy face to see.
My refuge, my solace my soul’s delight,
O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night.
Lord Jesus I come to thee in lonely despair,
give strength to my fainting soul,
The burdens to bare.
My Comfort, my Joy, my soul’s delight,
O Jesus my Savior my Song in the night,
My Song in the night.
12. Create in Me a Clean Heart
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence;
and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of my salvation;
and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
13. Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
Refrain
Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word,
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
Refrain
When the heav’ns shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying “Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee.”
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
14. Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Refrain
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
