AS WE GATHER
As we gather may Your Spirit move amongst us,
As we gather may we glorify your name;
Knowing well as our hearts begin to worship,
We’ll be blessed because we praise your name;
We’ll be blessed because we came.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning,
New every morning;
Great is thy faithfulness, oh Lord,
Great is thy faithfulness.
GIVE THANKS
Give thanks with a grateful heart, }
Give thanks to the Holy One, }
Give thanks for He has given }
Jesus Christ His son. }2x
And now let the weak say I am strong,
Let the poor say I am rich,
Because of what the Lord has done for us.
And now let the weak say I am strong,
Let the poor say I am rich,
Because of what the Lord has done for us, give thanks.
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
CHORUS
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one;
Count your blessings,
See what God hath done;
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
See what God hath done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings,
Money cannot buy
Your reward in Heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
PRAISE THE LORD
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.
CHORUS
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father,
Thro’ Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He hath done.
Oh, perfect redemption,
The purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
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.
THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
I've found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me.
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll. Hallelujah!
He’s The Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning
Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me
sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. Hallelujah!
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning
Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He'll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear;
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory, we'll see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll. Hallelujah!
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning
Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
WHAT A FRIEND
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
FILL MY WAY WITH LOVE
Let me walk, blessed Lord, in the way Thou hast gone,
Leading straight to the land above;
Giving cheer everywhere, to the sad and the lone,
Fill my way every day with love.
CHORUS
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heavenly Dove;
Let me go all the while, with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.
Keep me close to the side of my Saviour and Guide,
Let me never in darkness rove;
Keep my path free from wrath, and my soul satisfied,
Fill my way every day with love.
Soon the race will be o'er and I’ll travel no more,
But abide in my home above;
Let me sing, blessed king,
All the way to the shore
Fill my way every day with love.
