4 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER I will glory in my Redeemer, whose priceless blood has ransomed me. Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails and hung Him on that judgment tree. I will glory in my Redeemer, who crushed the power of sin and death. My only Savior before the holy Judge; The Lamb who is my righteousness, the Lamb who is my righteousness. I will glory in my Redeemer, my life He bought, my love He owns. I have no longings for another; I m satisfied in Him alone. I will glory in my Redeemer, His faithfulness, my standing place. Though foes are mighty and rush upon me, My feet are firm, held by His grace, my feet are firm, held by His grace. I will glory in my Redeemer, who carries me on eagles wings. He crowns my life with lovingkindness, His triumph song I ll ever sing. I will glory in my Redeemer, who waits for me at gates of gold; And when He calls me, it will be paradise; His face forever to behold, His face forever to behold, His face forever to behold. VICTORY IN JESUS I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory, how He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me: I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood s atoning, then I repented of my sins and won the victory. O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood. I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory, and I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing, and the old redemption story, and some sweet day I ll sing up there the song of victory. O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

5 10,000 REASONS 2 The sun comes up it's a new day dawning; It's time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the ev'ning comes. Bless the Lord, O my soul; O my soul, worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul, I ll worship Your holy name. You're rich in love and You're slow to anger, Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing; Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. Bless the Lord, O my soul; O my soul, worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul, I ll worship Your holy name. And on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near and my time has come; Still my soul sings Your praise unending, ten thousand years and then forever more. Bless the Lord, O my soul; O my soul, worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul, I ll worship Your holy name.

6 THE SOLID ROCK 3 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 ev'ry high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil. His oath, His covenant, His blood support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found dressed in His righteousness alone; faultless to stand before the throne.

7 GOD, THE UNCREATED ONE 4 God the uncreated One, the Author of salvation; Who wrote the laws of space and time, and fashioned worlds to His design. The One whom angel hosts revere, hung the stars like chandeliers, numbered every grain of sand, knows the heart of every man. He is King forever, His is King forever, He is King forevermore. God our fortress and our strength, the Rock on which we can depend; Matchless in His majesty, His power and authority. Unshaken by the schemes of man, never-changing, great I AM; Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, He is faithful through it all. Crown Him King forever, crown Him King forever, crown Him King forevermore. Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor s kiss; The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace. Oh, lifted high, the sinless man, crucified the spotless Lamb; Buried by the sons of man, rescued by the Father s hand to reign as King forever, reign as King forever, reign as King forevermore. King Eternal, God of Grace, we crown you with the highest praise; Heaven shouts and saints adore, You re holy, holy, holy, Lord! What joy in everlasting life, all is love and faith is sight; Justice rolls and praises rise at the Name of Jesus Christ. King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore! King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore! ANTHEM THOU, O LORD Many are they increased that troubled me, many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. But Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice and He heard me out of His holy hill. I laid me down and slept and awaked, for the Lord sustained, for He sustained me. Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. Of my head For Thou, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head.

8 THE POWER OF THE CROSS 5 This, the pow r of the cross: Christ became sin for us. Took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross. Oh, to see my name written in the wounds, for through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live, won through Your selfless love. This, the power of the cross: Son of God slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross. INVITATION NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my pardon this I see: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my cleansing, this my plea: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can for sin atone: Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done; nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my hope and peace: Nothing but the blood of Jesus, This is all my righteousness: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know: Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

9 OFFERTORY NEAR THE CROSS 6 Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain; Free to all, a healing stream flows from Calv ry s mountain. In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; There, the Bright and Morning Star sheds Its beams around me. In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; Help my walk from day to day with its shadows o er me. In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross I ll watch and wait; Hoping, trusting ever, till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river. In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. BENEDICTION VICTORY IN JESUS O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever; He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
