A Song Of Praise
(Carl Fischer)
Music by Edvard Grieg

Unto Thee do I lift my song;
Praise be to Thy name,
O Lord my God, through all the earth.
Thine the glory,
Thine the pow’r;
Thine the kingdom, glory and pow’r;

Thy love shall rule all the nations,
Shall rule all the earth.
I will trust thee in Thy love,
O Lord;
Thou only shall my strength and song
Thou are my God,
Great Thy mercy, great is Thy truth;
All the earth shall sing unto thee,
Let all the nations be glade and rejoice in Thy love.

In my sorrow I cried unto Thee;
Thou hast healed me, Thou heardest my plea.
When I was lost, Thy staff did lead;
When I was sick Thy word did heal;
When I wandered from the pathway,
Thy great love did guide;
Thy love did guide and lead me on.

O Lord, to thee do I lift my song:
Praise be to Thy name,
O Lord my God through all the earth.
Thine the glory,
Thine the pow’r
Thine the kingdom, glory and pow’r
Sing unto God, Oh rejoice and be glade,
Rejoice in him.

Awake Thou that Sleepest

Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light.
Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light.

But now is Christ risen from the dead,
Now is the Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that slept,
The first fruits of them that slept.

For Christ is risen from the dead;
He hath triumphed over death and grave.

Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light,
And Christ shall give thee light.

Be Strong In The Lord
(Carl Fischer)
Music by J. S. Bach

Be strong in the Lord,
Stand fast in His truth;
Have on the breastplate of righteousness.

Take unto you the armor of God, that ye may stand in the evil day.
Take thou shield of faith to guard the way, and take the helmet of salvation;
All grace shall be to them that love the Lord,
All grace to them that love the Lord.
And those that pray to Him in Spirit,
The power of God shall comfort them

Be strong in the Lord
Stand fast in his truth
Have on the breastplate of righteousness.

Take unto you the armor of God, that ye may stand in the evil day
And having done all to stand.

Blow Ye the Trumpet

Cry aloud and blow ye the trumpet,
Sound the trumpet, praise ye the Lord;
Praise Him name with glad rejoicing,
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion.

Praise ye Him, ye heavens of heavens,
Praise Him, all His angels praise;
Let all praise His name with singing,
Blow ye the trumpet, praise the Lord.

Turn to Him with all your hearts,
And call on His name with songs of glad rejoicing.
Learn of Him for He is meek,
and ye shall find rest unto your souls forever.

Turn to Him, for He I ever near,
Of great kindness, and slow to an anger,
gracious unto all His flock.

Blow ye the trumpet;
Oh, blow ye the trumpet in Zion.

Come to the Waters

Come to the waters,
All ye that thirsteth;
All that hunger, come, buy and eat,
And your soul shall live.

Come ye, come ye, come to the waters,
He with no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Come ye weary, and your soul shall live

Come ye, come to the waters,
and your soul shall live.

Incline your ear and hear Me,
Incline yoru ear and hear Me,
And your soul shall live in peace.

Ye shall have great joy and gladness,
Joy and gladness shall go with thee.
Incline your ear to me,
Incline your ear and live.

Come to the waters,
All ye that thirsteth;
All that hunger,
Come buy and eat,
And your soul shall live.

Come ye, come to the waters,
And your soul shall live.

Comfort Ye My People
Music by Anton Rubinstein

Comfort ye My people,
Saith the Lord, your God;
Speak ye to Jerusalem, and comfort her.
Of the Lord’s own hand she hath received pardon.

Comfort ye My people;
Speak ye peaceably unto them.
Pardon’d all their iniquity,
Pardon’d all their iniquity,

Hear the voice that crieth,
Crying in the wilderness,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway,
make straight in the desert a hightway,
for our God.”

Comfort ye My people,
Speak ye peaceably unto them;
Comfort ye, Comfort ye,
Comfort ye My People.

Give Me An Understanding Heart
Music by Anton Rubinstein
Lyrics by Carl Fredrickson

Give me, O Lord, I pray, an understanding heart, that I may know
Thy love and share it with thy children;
O let my words confess
Thy glorious works and wisdom,
And let my life show forth the bounty of Thy goodness.
For all thy blessings, Lord, I praise Thy glorious name;
I praise Thee evermore for all Thy kindness.
In showing love to all, I show my love for Thee;
In living love, I give my love to Thee.

Give me, O Lord, I pray, an understanding heart, that I may know
Thy love and share it with thy children;
O let Thy love shine forth in all I think and say.
O let Thy love appear in all I do;
Thy love shall ever be my shield and stay,
To guide me through the gloom to cloudless day.
O give me of Thy wisdom,
Lord, that I may ever glorify
Thy name forevermore.

God Shall Wipe Away All Tears
Music by Franz Liszt
Arranged by Carl Fredrickson

And God shall be with them and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
And there shall be no more death,
Neither sorrow, nor anymore pain.

And I heard
Out of heaven
A great voice saying:
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
And He will dwell with them.

And God shall be with them and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,
from their eyes.

Great Peace Have They
Music by Jean Baptiste Lully
Arranged by Carl Fredrickson

Great peace have they which keep Thy commandments,
Great peace have they which love Thy law,
and nothing shall offend them nor make them afraid.

Peace have they which keep Thy commandments,
Great peace have they which love Thy law,
for they shall see Thy kingdom,
And dwell in peace with Thee.

I longed for Thy salvation, and loved thy commandments,
Make Thy face to shine on Thy servant,
And teach me, Lord, to Thy will.
Thy word is my delight,
And Thy strength is my fortress.

Peace have they which keep Thy commandments,
Great peace have they which love thy law.

How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place
Music by Josef Haydn
Arranged by Carl Fredrickson

How lovely is Thy dwelling place.
Thy dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts.
My heart crieth out for the living God,
Cries out for the living God.
O blessed are they that dwell with Thee.

O blessed are they that dwell in Thy house,
For they will still be praising Thee,
They will be praising Thee.

How lovely is Thy dwelling place,
Thy dwelling place,
O Lord of Hosts.
O Lord of Hosts, hear Thou my prayer,
Give ear to my prayer;
I would dwell with Thee;

Be Thou my sun and shield.
Be Thou my sun and shield.

How lovely is Thy dwelling place,
Thy dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts.

In the Time of Trouble
Music by Louise Reichardt
Edited by Carl Fredrickson

In the time of trouble,
Turn to God in Prayer;
When the darkness gathers,
Trust His constant care.

Though the storm alarm you, God will bid it cease;
They that trust His mercy shall abide in peace.

In the time of trouble,
I shall feel no fear;
Humbly praying,
knowing God is ever near.

When I seek His wisdom, turn from every fear,
I shall hear the message: “I am ever near.”

Lead Me, Lord

Music by G. F. Handel
Arranged by Carl Fredrickson

Lead me, Lord, lead me evermore;
Lead me in Thy righteousness now and ever more.
Let Thy love, Thy tender mercies be upon me,
For Thy law is my delight;
Quicken me in Thy loving kindness.

Lead me, Lord, lead me ever more;
Lead me in Thy righteousness now and ever more.
Teach me, Lord, the way of Thy statues;
Teach me, Lord, all Thy commandments
For Thy law is my delight;
For Thy law is my delight;

Lead me, Lord, lead ever more;
Lead me in Thy righteousness
Now and ever more
I shall praise Thee now and ever more

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Music by Jacob Arcadelt
Arranged by Carl Fredrickson

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down
To lie down in pastures green

He leadeth me by quiet waters
He restoreth my soul
Yea, though I walk through darkness
Yet will I fear no evil

For Thou art ever with me
Thou art with me
Thy rod and staff they comfort me
Thy rod and staff they comfort me
They comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over
My cup runneth over
My cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
And I will dwell forever in the house
In the house of the Lord

Thy Secret Place

Music by Felix Mendelssohn

In Thy secret place
Lord most high
In the secret place of the Almighty
I shall dwell in peace and safety
I shall dwell in safety in His presence

His wings shall be my refuge
My God, in Him I put on my trust
No evil shall befall me
No evil shall befall me

In Thy secret place
There is safety
I shall never fear
The noisome pestilence
I have made the Lord my refuge
And His secret place my habitation

To Thy secret place
Lord most high
I shall dwell in the safety in Thy presence
I will trust in Thee, Thou my fortress
Thy truth shall be my shield and buckler

Thy wings shall be my refuge
O God, in Thee I put my trust
Thy wings shall be my refuge
No evil shall befall me

They shall watch and guard me
From the fowler’s snare
He hath set His love up on me
I shall praise and show Him my salvation
