*******************************************************
THINE IS THE GLORY.
George Handel & Edmond Budry.
1) Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o'er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave-clothes
Where Thy body lay.
_______________________________________________________
CHORUS:
Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o'er death hast won.
_______________________________________________________
2) Lo! Jesus meets us,
risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us,
Scatters fear and gloom;
Let the church with gladness,
Hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth,
Death hath lost its sting.
_______________________________________________________
3) No more we doubt Thee,
Glorious Prince of life!
Life is nought without Thee;
Aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conquerors,
Through Thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
To Thy home above.
*******************************************************
WERE YOU THERE?
Spiritual.
1) Were you there, when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
OH....Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble!
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
_______________________________________________________
2) Were you there, when they nailed him to the tree?...
_______________________________________________________
3) Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?....
_______________________________________________________
4) Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Oh.....Sometimes I feel like shouting Glory, Glory, Glory!
Were you there when he rose up from the grave?
*******************************************************
BECAUSE HE LIVES.
By William Gaither.
1) God sent his son
They called Him Jesus.
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove,
My Savior lives! (chorus)
_______________________________________________________
CHORUS:
Because He lives!
I can face tomorrow.
Because he lives,
All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
_______________________________________________________
2) And then one day
I'll cross that river,
I'll fight that final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of Glory,
And I'll know He lives! (chorus)
*******************************************************
LIFT HIGH THE CROSS.
George W. Kitchin & Sydney H. Nicholson
_______________________________________________________
CHORUS:
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.
_______________________________________________________
1) Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.
(CHORUS)
_______________________________________________________
2) Each newborn servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of Him Who died.
(CHORUS)
_______________________________________________________
3) O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw the world to Thee.
(CHORUS)
_______________________________________________________
4) So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory.
(CHORUS)
*******************************************************
COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING
1) 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.
*************
2) Here I raise my 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,
Wandering from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
*************
3) O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love:
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
