O CHURCH ARISE AND PUT YOUR ARMOUR ON

O church, arise and put your armour on; hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong, in the strength that God has given. With shield of faith and belt of truth, we'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!", reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul, but to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole, we will fight with faith and valour. When faced with trials on ev'ry side, we know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died, an inheritance of nations.

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet, as the Son of God is stricken; Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet, for the Conqueror has risen! And as the stone is rolled away, and Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict'ry march continues till the day, ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride, give grace for ev'ry hurdle, That we may run with faith to win the prize, of a servant good and faithful. As saints of old still line the way, retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day


O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him born the King of angels:

O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

God of God, Light of Light, Lo! He abhors not the virgin’s womb; Very God, begotten not created:
Chorus

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation. Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above; Glory to God in the highest:
Chorus

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be glory giv’n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
Chorus


O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING

O For a thousand tongues to sing, my great Redeemer’s praise,
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace, the triumphs of His grace, The triumphs of His grace! The triumphs of His grace!

Jesus! The name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life, and health, and peace, ‘tis life, and health and peace, ‘tis life, and health, and peace, ‘tis life, and health, and peace

He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me, His blood availed for me, His blood availed for me, His blood availed for me.

Hear Him ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come; and leap, ye lame, for joy, and leap, ye lame, for joy, and leap, ye lame, for joy, and leap, ye lame, for joy!

My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad, the honours of Thy name, the honours of Thy name, the honours of Thy name, the honours of Thy name.


O GOD BEYOND ALL PRAISING WE WORSHIP YOU TODAY

O God beyond all praising, we worship You today,
And sing the love amazing, that songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder at every gift You send,
At blessings without number and mercies without end: We lift our hearts before You, and wait upon Your Word, We honour and adore You, our great and mighty Lord.

Then hear, O gracious Saviour, accept the love we bring, That we who know Your favour, may serve You as our King. And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill,
We’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless You still; To marvel at Your beauty and glory in Your ways,
And make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.


O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

O God! our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne, still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight, are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away, They fly, forgotten, as a dream, dies at the opening day.

O God! our help in ages past, our hope for years to come;
Be Thou our guide while life shall last, and our perpetual home!


O LORD MY GOD (HOW GREAT THOU ART)

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r thro’out the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; how great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; how great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When thro’ the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Chorus

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art.
Chorus


O THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE OF JESUS

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Your love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Your glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own; How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!
Chorus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best! ’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’tis a heaven of heavens to me; And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!


O SACRED HEAD NOW WOUNDED

O sacred Head once wounded, with grief and pain weighed down, How scornfully surrounded, with thorns Thy only crown,
Now pale art Thou with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn!

Oh Lord of life and glory, what bliss till now was Thine!
I read the wondrous story, I joy to call Thee mine.
Thy grief and Thy compassion, were all for sinners’ gain. Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.

What language shall I borrow, to praise Thee, heavenly Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end?
Lord make me Thine for ever! Nor let me faithless prove;
O let me never, never, abuse such dying love!


O WORSHIP THE KING

O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing, His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Optional Chorus
You alone are the matchless King, to You alone be all majesty
Your glory and wonder what tongue can recite
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light


OH, TO SEE THE DAWN

Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day: Christ on the road to Calvary. Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then nailed to a cross of wood.

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 the pain, written on Your face, bearing the awesome weight of sin, Every bitter thought, every evil deed, crowning Your blood stained brow. Chorus

Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath quakes as its Maker bows, His head. Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life; ‘finished!’ the victory cry.
Chorus

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.


OH WHAT A MYSTERY I SEE

Oh what a mystery I see, what marvellous design,
That God should come as one of us, a Son in David's line. Flesh of our flesh, of woman born, our humanness He owns, And for a world of wickedness, His guiltless blood atones.

This perfect Man, incarnate God, by selfless sacrifice, Destroyed our sinful history, all fallen Adam's curse,
In Him the curse of blessing turns, my barren spirit flowers, As over the shattered power of sin, the cross of Jesus towers.

By faith a child of His I stand, an heir in David's line, Royal descendant by His blood, destined by love's design. Fathers of faith, my fathers now! Because in Christ I am, And all God's promises in Him, to me are 'yes, Amen'!

No more then as a child of earth, must I my lifetime spend His history, His destiny are mine to apprehend,
Oh what a Saviour, what a Lord, O Master, Brother, Friend! What a miracle has joined me to, this life that never ends!


ONLY BY GRACE CAN WE ENTER

Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand,
Not by our human endeavour, but by the blood of the Lamb.
Into Your presence You call us, You call us to come.
Into Your presence You draw us, and now by Your grace we come. Now by Your grace we come

Lord if You mark our transgressions, who will stand.
Thanks to Your grace, we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. Lord if You mark our transgressions, who will stand.
Thanks to Your grace, we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.


ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go!

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the name of Jesus, Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
Chorus

Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
Chorus

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.
Chorus

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honour unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angels sing.
Chorus


OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Forever and ever. Amen, Amen.
