To God be the Glory.mp3

1 To God be the glory, great things he has 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.
            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, through Jesus the Son,
            and give him the glory! Great things he has done!

2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
for every offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son:
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our joy and our wonder, when Jesus we see.

 

There is a Redeemer

CH4 559

Music & Words: Melody Green

 

There is a Redeemer.mp3

1 There is a Redeemer,
Jesus, God’s own Son,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One.
            Thank you, O my Father,
            for giving us your Son,
            and leaving us your Spirit
            till your work on earth is done.

2 Jesus, my Redeemer,
name above all names,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
once for sinners slain:

3 When I stand in glory
I will see his face,
and there I’ll serve my King for ever
in that holy place.

 

And can it be

Words: Charles Wesley

 

And Can It Be.mp3

1 And can it be, that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain –
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

2 ‘Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
‘Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more.

3 He left his Father’s throne above, –
so free, so infinite his grace –
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam’s helpless race:
‘tis mercy all, immense and free;
for, O my God, it found out me!

4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.

5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
