3 Your Notes Here: Songs July 24, 2016 Highland

4 1. Come, thou fount Come Thou fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love Here I raise mine Ebenezer Hither by Thy help I'm come And I hope by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home Jesus sought me when a stranger Wand'ring from the fold of God He to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee Prone to wander Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here's my heart O Lord take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above HWB#521 John Wyeth Robert Robinson, Public Domain 10. Baptized in water Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit cleansed by the blood of Christ our king; heirs of salvation, trusting his promise - faithfully now God's praise we sing. Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, dead in the tomb with Christ our king; one with his rising, freed and forgiven thankfully now God's praise we sing. Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, marked with the sign of Christ our king; born of one Father, we are his children - joyfully now God's praise we sing.

5 2. God Of Our Strength God of our strength enthroned above The source of life, the fount of love O let devotion s sacred flame Our souls awake to praise thy name. God of our strength, we wait on thee, Our sure defense forever be. To Thee we lift our joyful eyes, To Thee on wings of faith we rise; Come Thou, and let Thy courts on earth Ring out Thy praise in holy mirth. God of our strength, from day to day Direct our thoughts and guide our way; O may our hearts united be In sweet communion, Lord, with Thee. God of our strength, on Thee we call; God of our hope, our light, our all, Thy Name we praise, Thy love adore, Our Rock, our Shield, forevermore. HWB#36, Fanny Crosby 3. The River Is Here 1. Down the mountain the river flows And it brings refreshing wherever it goes Through the valleys and over the fields The river is rushing and the river is here The river of God sets our feet a-dancing The river of God fills our hearts with cheer The river of God fills our mouths with laughter And we rejoice for the river is here 2. The river of God is teeming with life And all who touch it can be revived And those who linger on this river's shore Will come back thirsting for more of the Lord 3. Up to the mountain we love to go To find the presence of the Lord Along the banks of the river we run We dance with laughter giving praise to the Son CCLI License # Over my head Over my head, I hear music in the air; over my head, I hear music in the air; Over my head, I hear music in the air: there must be a God somewhere. Oh, when the world is silent, I hear music in the air; And when I m feeling lonely, I hear music in the air: Now when I think on Jesus, I hear music in the air; Oh, when I sing at Highland, I hear music in the air, there must be a God somewhere. STJ#18
