Almighty and most merciful Father,
We have erred, and strayed from
Your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the devices
and desires of our own hearts.
We have offended against Your holy laws.
We have left undone those things
which we ought to have done;
And we have done those things which
we ought not to have done;
And there is no health in us.
But You, O Lord,
have mercy upon us, the guilty.
Spare us, O God, as we confess our faults.
Restore those who are repentant;
According to Your promises declared
to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake;
That we may hereafter live a godly,
righteous, and sober life,
To the glory of Your holy Name.
Amen.

Awake, awake O Zion,
and clothe yourself with strength
Shake off your dust and fix your eyes on him.
For you have been redeemed by
the precious blood of Jesus
and now you sit enthroned with him.

Our God reigns,
He is king of all the earth,
Our God reigns,
And he's seated on the throne;
Lift your voice
And sing a song of praise,
Our God reigns,
The awesome Lord most high.

How beautiful the feet are
Of those who bring good news,
For they proclaim the peace that comes from God.
Rise up you holy nation,
Proclaim the great salvation,
And say to Zion your God reigns.

Our God reigns...

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Our God is with us now.

The watchmen lift their voices,
And raise a shout of joy,
For he will come again.
Then all eyes will see the
salvation of our God,
For he has redeemed Jerusalem.

Our God reigns...

You are holy (You are holy)
You are mighty (You are mighty)
You are worthy (You are worthy)
Worthy of praise (Worthy of praise)

I cannot tell why He, whom angels worship,
Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers,
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
When Bethlehem's manger was His only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and laboured,
And so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come.

I cannot tell how silently He suffered,
As with His peace He graced this place of tears,
Or how His heart upon the cross was
broken,
The crown of pain to three-and-thirty years.
But this I know, He heals the broken-
hearted,
And stays our sin, and calms our lurking
fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy-laden,
For yet the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is here.

I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
How He will claim His earthly heritage,
How satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,
And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendour,
When He the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known.

I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
When, at his bidding, every storm is stilled,
Or who can say how great the jubilation
When all the hearts of men with love are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
And myriad, myriad human voices sing,
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer:
'At last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!'

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Greatest treasure of my longing soul
My God, like You there is no other
True delight is found in You alone
Your grace, a well too deep to fathom
Your love exceeds the heavens’ reach
Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom
My highest good and my unending need

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Strong defender of my weary heart
My sword to fight the cruel deceiver
And my shield against his hateful darts
My song when enemies surround me
My hope when tides of sorrow rise
My joy when trials are abounding
Your faithfulness, my refuge in the night

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Gracious Savior of my ruined life
My guilt and cross laid on Your shoulders
In my place You suffered bled and died
You rose, the grave and death are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
May all my days bring glory to Your Name

O church, arise and put your armour on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is 'Love!'
Reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valour.
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died-
An inheritance of nations.

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict'ry march continues till the day
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride,
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.

Did you draw a breath as the dawn awoke
And does your heart still beat?
Is the mighty Word of the living God
Upholding you? Then sing, O sing

Has the Father’s love filled your longing heart
With grace for every need?
Come and lay your burdens at Jesus’ feet
And find new strength to sing, O sing

Morning and evening! Everything breathing
Must sing, O sing!
All of creation rise up and praise
The King of kings and sing!

Has the Son of God died to take away
Your sin and set you free?
Has the Conqueror trampled over death?
Is Christ enthroned? Then sing O sing!

Morning and evening…

On the final day when the Lord on High
Returns in majesty
We will bow in wonder before the Lamb
And evermore the saints will sing
Yes, evermore the saints will sing!

Morning and evening…

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
We will wait upon the Lord,
We will wait upon the Lord. (repeat)

Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer

You are the everlasting God,
The everlasting God,
You do not faint, you won't grow weary.
You're the defender of the weak,
You comfort those in need,
You lift us up on wings like eagles.

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.

What is our hope in life and death?  
Christ alone, Christ alone.  
What is our only confidence?  
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?  
What comes, apart from His command?  
And what will keep us to the end?  
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

O sing hallelujah!  
Our hope springs eternal;  
O sing hallelujah!  
Now and ever we confess  
Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul?  
God is good, God is good.  
Where is His grace and goodness known?  
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?  
Who stands above the stormy trial?  
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh  
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ? 

O sing hallelujah...

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?  
"Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!"  
And what reward will heaven bring?  
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,  
Then sin and death will be destroyed,  
And we will feast in endless joy,  
When Christ is ours forevermore.  

O sing hallelujah... x2
 

I will glory in my Redeemer,
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me;
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails
And hung him on that judgment tree.
I will glory in my Redeemer
Who crushed the power of sin and death,
My only Saviour before the holy Judge:
The Lamb who is my righteousness,
The Lamb who is my righteousness.

I will glory in my Redeemer,
My life he bought, my love he owns.
I have no longings for another,
I'm satisfied in him alone.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
His faithfulness my standing place,
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me,
My feet are firm held by his grace,
My feet are firm held by his grace.

I will glory in my Redeemer
Who carries me on eagle's wings,
He crowns my life with loving kindness,
His triumph song I'll ever sing.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who waits for me at gates of gold,
And when he calls me it will be paradise,
His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.
