Come, people of the Risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.

Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!

Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.

Come, young and old from every land
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
Our God is all in all!

How I love the voice of Jesus,
On the cross of Calvary;
He declares his work is finished,
He has spoken this hope to me.
Though the sun had ceased its shining,
Though the war appeared as lost;
Christ had triumphed over evil,
It was finished upon that cross.

Now the curse it has been broken,
Jesus paid the price for me;
Full, the pardon he has offered,
Great, the welcome that I receive;
Boldly I approach my Father,
Clothed in Jesus’ righteousness;
There is no more guilt to carry,
It was finished upon that cross.

Death was once my great opponent,
Fear once had a hold on me,
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!

Death was once my great opponent,
Fear once had a hold on me,
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed,
Yes he rose that we would be free indeed!

Free from every plan of darkness,
Free to live and free to love,
Death is dead and Christ is risen,
It was finished upon that cross!

Onward to eternal glory,
To my Saviour and my God;
I rejoice in Jesus’ victory,
It was finished upon that cross.

We will feast in the house of Zion,
We will sing with our hearts restored;
He has done great things, we will say together,
We will feast and weep no more.

We will not be burned by the fire,
He is the Lord, our God;
We are not consumed by the flood,
Upheld, protected, gathered up.

We will feast...

In the dark of night, before the dawn
My soul, be not afraid;
For the promised morning, oh how long,
Oh God of Jacob, be my strength.

We will feast...

Every vow we've broken and betrayed
You are the faithful One;
And from the garden to the grave,
Bind us together, bring shalom.

We will feast...

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want.
He makes me lie in pastures green.
He leads me by the still, still waters,
His goodness restores my soul.
 
And I will trust in You alone.
And I will trust in You alone,
For Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.

He guides my ways in righteousness,
And He anoints my head with oil,
And my cup, it overflows with joy,
I feast on His pure delights.

And though I walk the darkest path,
I will not fear the evil one,
For You are with me, and Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know.

Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the risen Lord
To renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see;
Give me passion for Your purity.
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within;
May Your joy be seen in all I do-
Love enough to cover every sin
In each thought and deed and attitude,
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace.
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation's birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show Your power once again on earth;
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see.

Most merciful God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
we confess that we have sinned
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you
with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbours
as ourselves.
In your mercy
forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may do justly, love mercy,
and walk humbly with you, our God.
Amen.

I’ll bless Your name, O God, each day that I awake
From dawn to setting sun, Your greatness I’ll proclaim
Your glory far exceeds all human thought
So with each breath I’ll bless Your name, O God

Your name will be revered by children yet to come
As generations sing of wonders You have done
Your strong and mighty deeds are always near
O God Most High, Your name will be revered

How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
How great is the Lord our God
How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!

Your gracious hand provides for all who live and breathe
Your mercy runs to find the helpless and the weak
When we call out to You, You hear our cries
And all our needs Your gracious hand provides

Forever without end, creation will rejoice
When works of wicked men, You finally destroy
Your power we’ll proclaim till Christ descends
And You will reign forever without end

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?

'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.

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.

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.

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.

All my days I will sing this song of gladness,
Give my praise to the fountain of delights;
For in my helplessness you heard my cry
And waves of mercy poured down on my life.

I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer,
I will sing of the love that never fails,
Of sins forgiven and conscience cleansed,
Of death defeated and life without end.

Beautiful Saviour, wonderful Counsellor,
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history,
You're the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Star of the morning, glorious in holiness
You're the Risen One, heaven's Champion,
And You reign, You reign over all!

I long to be where the praise is never ending,
Yearn to dwell where the glory never fades;
Where countless worshippers will share one song
And cries of worthy will honour the Lamb.

Beautiful Saviour...

When peace like a river attends all my way

when sorrows like sea-billows roll,

wherever my path, you have taught me to say

'It is well, it is well with my soul.'



'It is well with my soul,

It is well, it is well with my soul.'



Though Satan may buffet, though trials may come,

let this calm assurance control:

that Christ knows my need and my helplessness here

and has shed his own blood for my soul.



The joy, O the joy of this glorious thought!

my sin, not in part but the whole,

is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more;

praise the Lord, praise the Lord O my soul!



For me it is Christ, it is Christ now to live!

Though death's waters over me roll,

no fear shall be mine, for in death as in life

you will whisper your peace to my soul.



But Lord, for your coming in glory we wait;

the sky not the grave is our goal;

the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend:

bless the Lord, bless the Lord, O my soul!

There is an everlasting kindness
You lavished on us
When the Radiance of heaven
Came to rescue the lost;
You called the sheep without a shepherd
To leave their distress
For your streams of forgiveness
And the shade of Your rest.

And with compassion for the hurting,
You reached out Your hand
As the lame ran to meet You
And the dead breathed again;
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow
And shared in our tears,
Heard the sigh of the weary,
Let the children draw near.

What boundless love,
What fathomless grace
You have shown us, O God of compassion!
Each day we live
An offering of praise
As we show to the world Your compassion.

We stood beneath the cross of Calvary
And gazed on Your face
At the thorns of oppression
And the wounds of disgrace,
For surely You have borne our suffering
And carried our grief
As You pardoned the scoffer
And showed grace to the thief.

What boundless love...

How beautiful the feet that carry
This gospel of peace
To the fields of injustice
And the valleys of need-
To be a voice of hope and healing,
To answer the cries
Of the hungry and helpless
With the mercy of Christ.

What boundless love...
