6 WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS 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 wilt be. Chorus 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 spring-time and harvest, Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide. Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside! Jesus, I Come Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus I come; Jesus, I come. Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of my sickness into Thy health, Out of my wanting and into Thy wealth, Out of my sin and into Thyself, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of my shameful failure and loss, Jesus I come; Jesus, I come. Into the glorious gain of Thy cross, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of earth s sorrows into Thy balm, out of life s storms and into Thy calm, Out of distress into jubilant psalm, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of unrest and arrogant pride, Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come. Into Thy blessed will to abide, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of myself to dwell in Thy love, Out of despair into raptures above, Upward for aye on wings like a dove, Jesus, I come to Thee. 6

7 WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS More Love to Thee More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best. This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise; This be the parting cry my heart shall raise. This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! To Him Who Sits on the Throne To Him who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb, To Him who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb, Be blessing and honor and glory and power forever, Be blessing and honor and glory and power forever! I Stand in Awe of You You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words; Too wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom? Who can fathom the depth of Your love? You are beautiful beyond description, majesty enthroned above. And I stand, I stand in awe of You, I stand, I stand in awe of You; Holy God, to whom all praise is due, I stand in awe of You. O Lord You re Beautiful O Lord, You re beautiful, Your face is all I seek; And when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds in me. 7
