WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above; Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee, All veiling their sight; all praise we would render; O help us to see; Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee! What Shall I Render to My God What shall I render to my God for all His mercy s store? I ll take the gifts He hath bestowed, and humbly ask for more. Chorus The God of all redeeming grace; my God I will proclaim, I give a sacrifice of praise, and call upon His name. The sacred cup of saving grace I will with thanks receive, And all His promises embrace, and to His glory live. Thy hands created me, Thy hands from sin have set me free, The mercy that hath loosed my bands, hath bound me fast to Thee. 6
WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder Let us love and sing and wonder, let us praise the Savior s name, He has hushed the law s loud thunder; He has quenched Mount Sinai s flame, He has washed us with His blood; He has washed us with His blood, He has washed us with His blood. He has brought us nigh to God. Let us love the Lord Who bought us, pitied us when enemies, Called us by His grace and taught us, gave us ears and gave us eyes. He has washed us with His blood; He has washed us with His blood, He has washed us with His blood. He presents our souls to God. Let us sing though fierce temptation threatens hard to bear us down. For the Lord, our strog salvation, holds in view the conquerors crown. He, Who washed us with His blood; He, Who washed us with His blood, He, Who washed us with His blood, soon will bring us home to God. Let us wonder grace and justice join and point to mercys store. When through grace in Christ our trust is, justice smiles and asks no more. He Who washed us with His blood; He Who washed us with His blood, He Who washed us with His blood, has secured our way to God. Let us praise and join in chorus of the saints enthroned on high. Here they trusted Him before us now their praises fill the sky. Thou hast washed us with Thy blood; Thou hast washed us with Thy blood, Thou hast washed us with Thy blood. Thou art worthy Lamb of God. 7
