# 1) REVIVE US AGAIN 1.) We praise Thee, O God, For the Son of Thy love, For Jesus who died And is now gone above. Refrain: Hallelujah, Thine the glory! Hallelujah, amen! Hallelujah, Thine the glory! Revive us again. 2.) We praise Thee, O God, For the Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior And scattered our night. (Refrain) 3.) All glory and praise, To the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins, And has cleansed ev-ry stain. (Refrain) 4.) Revive us again- Fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled With fire from above. (Refrain)
# 2) MY HOPE IS BUILT 1.) 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. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2.) When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain) 3.) 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. (Refrain) 4.) 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. (Refrain)
# 3) LORD, I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH Lord, I lift Your name on high Lord, I love to sing Your praises I m so glad You re in my life, I m so glad You came to save us. Refrain: You came from Heaven to Earth to show the way From the earth to the cross my debt to pay From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky Lord, I lift Your name on high. Lord, we come before Your throne Bowed in humble adoration We re so glad to be Your own So we sing with exaltation. (Refrain) # 4) TO GOD BE THE GLORY 1.) To God be the glory- Great things He hath done! So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life an atonement for sin And opened the life-gate that all may go in. Refrain: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father thro Jesus, the Son, And give Him the glory-great things He hath done! 2.) Great things He hath taught us; Great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing thro Jesus, the Son, But purer and higher and greater will be Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. (Refrain 2X)
# 5) GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS 1.) 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. Refrain: 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! 2.) Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. (Refrain) 3.) 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!
