3 1 SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2018 BEHOLD OUR GOD Who has held the oceans in His hands? Who has numbered every grain of sand? Kings and nations tremble at His voice, all creation rises to rejoice. Who has given counsel to the Lord? Who can question any of His Words? Who can teach the One who knows all things? Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds? Behold our God seated on His throne; Come let us adore Him. Behold our King nothing can compare; Come let us adore Him! Who has felt the nails upon His hands bearing all the guilt of sinful man? God eternal humbled to the grave, Jesus, Savior risen now to reign! Behold our God seated on His throne; Come let us adore Him. Behold our King nothing can compare; Come let us adore Him!

4 2 YOUR HANDS, YOUR HEART, YOUR VOICE To the weak and the powerless ones under the weight of oppression, Your hands are stronger. To the lonely, the broken and frail longing for love and acceptance, Your heart beats harder, Your love is stronger. We will go to the ends of the earth, We will proclaim Your infinite worth, To the ones with no voice to be heard, over the sounds of the city, Your voice speaks louder, Your love is stronger. We will go to the ends of the earth, We will proclaim Your infinite worth, Whoa, oh, oh, Whoa, oh, oh, To the ones with no voice to be heard, over the sounds of the city, Your voice speaks louder, Your love is stronger. We will go to the ends of the earth, We will proclaim Your infinite worth, We will go to the ends of the earth, We will proclaim Your infinite worth, Whoa, oh, oh, Whoa, oh, oh,

5 3 MAY THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU You have called us out of darkest night, into Your glorious light, that we may sing the wonders of the risen Christ. May our every breath retell the grace that broke into our strife with boundless love and deepest joy, with endless life. All the earth is Yours and all within each harvest is Your own, and from Your hand we give to You, to make Christ known. May the seeds of mercy grow in us for those who have not heard, may songs of praise build lives of grace to spread Your Word. This our holy privilege to declare Your praises and Your name to every nation, tribe and tongue, Your church proclaims. Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty, worthy, worthy is the Lamb Who was slain. Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; All creation praise Your glorious Name.

6 4 HE WILL HOLD ME FAST When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast. When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast. I could never keep my hold through life s fearful path, for my love is often cold; He must hold me fast. He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast; For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast. For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast. Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast. Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast; Till our faith is turned to sight, when He comes at last! He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast; For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast. NEVER ONCE Never once did we ever walk alone, never once did You leave us on our own; You are faithful, God, You are faithful. Kneeling on this battle ground, seeing just how much You ve done; knowing every victory was Your power in us. Scars and struggles on the way, but with joy our hearts can say, Yes, our hearts can say; Never once did we ever walk alone, never once did You leave us on our own; You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful

7 5 HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty; Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice. He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide and trembles at His voice, trembles at His voice.

Portuguese Quão grande é o meu Deus Cantarei quão grande é o meu Deus E todos hão de ver Quão grande é o meu Deus Age to age He stands, and time is in His hands; Beginning and the end, beginning and the end. The Godhead, three in one: Father, Spirit, Son; the Lion and the Lamb, the lion and the Lamb. Russian Наш Бог так велик, пой со мной, Наш Бог так велик, увидят все, Наш Бог, наш Бог так велик! Spanish Cuán grande es Dios, Cántale! Cuán grande es Dios, Y todos verán cuán gran Cuán grande es Dios.

8 6 SPEAK O LORD Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds; Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us; Truths unchanged from the dawn of time that will echo down through eternity. And by grace we ll stand on Your promises; And by faith we ll walk as You walk with us. Speak, O Lord, til Your church is built and the earth is filled with Your glory. INVITATION THERE IS A REDEEMER There is a Redeemer, Jesus, God's own Son; Precious Lamb of God Messiah, Holy One. Thank You, oh, my Father, for giving us Your Son, and leaving Your Spirit til the work on earth is done. Jesus, my Redeemer, Name above all names, Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Hope for sinners slain. Thank You, oh, my Father, for giving us Your Son, and leaving Your Spirit til the work on earth is done. When I stand in Glory, I will see His face. There I ll serve my King forever in that holy place. Thank You, oh, my Father, for giving us Your Son, and leaving Your Spirit til the work on earth is done.

9 7 OFFERTORY WHEN TRIALS COME When trials come, no longer fear, for in the pain our God draws near to fire a faith worth more than gold; And there His faithfulness is told And there His faithfulness is told Within the night I know Your peace. The breath of God brings strength to me, and new each morning mercies flow As treasures of the darkness grow As treasures of the darkness grow I turn to wisdom not my own, for every battle You have known. My confidence will rest in You; Your love endures, Your ways are good Your love endures, Your ways are good When I am weary with the cost, I see the triumph of the cross So in its shadow I shall run Till You complete the work begun Till You complete the work begun One day all things will be made new, I ll see the hope You called me to, and in your kingdom paved with gold I ll praise Your faithfulness of old I ll praise Your faithfulness of old! BENEDICTION GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS 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.
