REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS 
AGAIN I SAY REJOICE
BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING 
TAKE ALL TO GOD IN PRAYER
HIS PEACE WILL PROTECT YOU
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

WHATEVER THINGS ARE TRUE AND HONEST
WHATEVER THINGS ARE JUST 
WHATEVER THINGS ARE PURE AND LOVELY
THINGS OF GOOD REPORT 
THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU
WHEN YOU DO THESE THINGS

DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD
COMMIT YOUR WAY TO HIM
REST IN THE LORD
WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM
HIS PATH GETS BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER
AS THE SHINING LIGHT

THE LORD IS OUR GOD
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART 
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL
WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
HE FIRST LOVED US
HE ATONED FOR OUR SINS

1278 REJOICE IN THE LORD

VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING 
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK
MARY AND MARY CAME TO THE TOMB
AT THE RISING OF THE SUN
WHO WILL ROLL THE STONE AWAY
FROM THE DOOR OF THE TOMB
THEY SAID AMONG THEMSELVES

BUT THEY LOOKED AND SAW THAT
THE STONE HAD BEEN ROLLED AWAY
THEY SAW A MAN IN A LONG WHITE ROBE
HE SAID DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR JESUS OF NAZARETH
WHO WAS CRUCIFIED
HE IS NOT HERE
HE IS RISEN

1282 VERY EARLY

JESUS DEFEATED ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS
BY HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS
HE SET US FREE
FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH
HE RESTORES MY SOUL
HE LEADS ME IN HIS WAYS

GO INTO THE WORLD 
AND PREACH THE GOSPEL
TO EVERY CREATURE 
HE WHO BELIEVES IN CHRIST
AND WHAT HE DID AT THE CROSS
WILL BE SAVED
AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

BE STRONG IN THE LORD
HE IS OUR STRENGTH 
HE IS OUR STRONG TOWER
OUR FIGHT'S NOT AGAINST
FLESH AND BLOOD
BUT AGAINST THE POWERS OF DARKNESS
TAKE UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD

SATAN HAS BLINDED THE MIND OF MANKIND
FROM SEEING THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL
LEST THE LIGHT OF THE GLORY OF GOD
SHOULD SHINE ON THEM
GOD WHO COMMANDS THE LIGHT TO SHINE
SHINES IN OUR HEART

1283 JESUS DEFEATED ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS

SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG
HIS PRAISE FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
LET THE WILDERNESS AND THE CITIES
LIFT UP THEIR VOICES
LET THEM SHOUT
FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS

GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD
DECLARE HIS PRAISE IN THE ISLANDS
THE LORD SHALL GO FORTH LIKE A MIGHTY MAN
LIKE A MAN OF WAR
HE SHALL RAISE A WAR CRY
AND PREVAIL AGAINST HIS FOES

HE BRINGS THE BLIND BY A NEW WAY
HE LEADS THEM IN PATHS NOT KNOWN
HE MAKES DARKNESS LIGHT BEFORE THEM
MAKING CROOKED THINGS STRAIGHT
THESE THINGS HE IS DOING 
HE WILL NOT FORSAKE HIS PEOPLE

1284 SING TO THE LORD

COME AND SEE
I WILL DECLARE
WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR MY SOUL
THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
HAS SHONE IN MY HEART
JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS ONE
HAS ATONED FOR OUR SIN

MAY GOD BE GRACIOUS TO US
AND BLESS US
AND CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE
ON US
THAT YOUR WAY MAY BE KNOWN ON EARTH
YOUR SALVATION AMONG ALL NATIONS

LET THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU O GOD
LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU
LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD
AND SING FOR JOY
YOU WILL JUDGE THE PEOPLE UPRIGHTLY
AND LEAD THE NATIONS ON EARTH

LET THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU O GOD
LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU
THEN THE EARTH WILL PRODUCE ITS PRODUCE
AND GOD OUR GOD WILL BLESS US 
GOD WILL BLESS US
AND ALL THE EARTH WILL FEAR HIM

1285 COME AND SEE

COME TO JESUS
AS TO A LIVING STONE
REJECTED BY MEN
BUT CHOSEN BY GOD
THE STONE THE BUILDERS REJECTED
IS THE CORNERSTONE

LOOK TO JESUS
THE AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH
HE ENDURED THE CROSS
FOR OUR REDEMPTION
GLORY TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE
AND TO THE LAMB

GOD IS LOVE 
AND GOD LOVED US
BY SENDING HIS SON
TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS
BY HIS GRACE WE ARE SAVED
THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS

1286 COME TO JESUS

IN YOU LORD JESUS
I FIND REFUGE
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN YOU
SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED
YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES
WHEN WE PUT OUR TRUST IN YOU
FOR YOU WHO KNEW NO SIN
BECAME SIN FOR ME

YOU GAVE YOURSELF LORD JESUS
FOR OUR SINS
TO DELIVER US
FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL AGE
THANK YOU GOR YOUR GRACE AND PEACE
GLORY TO GOD FOREVER AND EVER

1287 IN YOU LORD JESUS

WE COME INTO YOUR PRESENCE
BY YOUR BLOOD LORD JESUS
THROUGH FAITH IN YOUR SACRIFICE
ATONEMENT FOR OUR SOUL
DRAW NEAR TO GOD
AND HE DRAWS NEAR TO YOU

WE COME BEFORE YOUR PRESENCE 
WITH THANKSGIVING
WE OFFER TO YOU LORD JESUS
THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS
GIVING THANKS TO YOUR NAME

WE COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE
BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY
THAT JESUS HAS OPENED FOR US
BY HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS
THAT WE  MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND GRACE
TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED

1288 WE COME INTO YOUR PRESENCE

HE FEEDS HIS FLOCK LIKE A SHEPHERD
GATHERS THE LAMBS WITH HIS ARM
CARRIES THEM IN HIS BOSOM
GENTLY LEADS THOSE WITH YOUNG
THE SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE
HE CALLS THEM BY NAME
HE GOES BEFORE THEM
AND THEY FOLLOW HIM
JESUS IS THE DOOR
THROUGH HIM WE ARE SAVED
JESUS IS THE GOOD SHEPHERED
HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP

ALL OF US LIKE SHEEP
HAVE GONE ASTRAY
EACH OF US HAS TURNED 
TO HIS OWN WAY
BUT JESUS TOOK OUR GRIEF
HE ENDURED THE CROSS FOR US
FOR THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH 
JESUS BORE OUR SIN
HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS
HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
SAYING FATHER FORGIVE THEM
FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO

1289 HE FEEDS HIS FLOCK

GOD HAS MADE A WAY
IN THE WILDERNESS
GOD HAS MADE RIVERS
IN THE DESERT
HE HAS DONE A NEW THING
IT HAS SPRUNG FORTH
ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF IT
HE GIVES WATER TO HIS PEOPLE
THOSE HE FORMED FOR HIMSELF
THEY SHALL DECLARE
HIS PRAISE 

JESUS IS THAT WAY 
A NEW AND LIVING WAY
NO ONE COMES TO GOD
EXCEPT THROUGH FAITH IN HIM
HIS BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT
WHICH IS SHED FOR ALL
FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS 
JESUS HAS OPENED THAT WAY
TO ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE 
IN HIS ATONING SACRIFICE 
AND HIS RESURRECTION

1290 GOD HAS MADE A WAY

LORD JESUS YOU REIGN
FROM YOUR EVERLASTING THRONE
THE FLOODS LIFT UP THEIR VOICE
LIKE ROARING WAVES
BUT YOU LORD ON HIGH
WHOM THE WINDS AND SEA OBEY
ARE MORE MIGHTY AND MAJESTIC
THAN THE NOISE OF MANY WATERS
YOU ARE THE KING OF KINGS 
YOU ARE THE LORD OF LORDS
THE LION OF JUDAH
THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN

1278 REJOICE IN THE LORD
