"The Church's One Foundation"

The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation,
by water and the Word:
From heav'n he came and sought
her to be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.

Elect from ev'ry nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
with ev'ry grace endued.

The church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain, and cherish,
is with her to the end;
Though there be those that hate
her, and false sons in her pale,
Against or foe or traitor
she ever shall prevail.

"Lion of Judah"

You're the Lion of Judah,
The Lamb Who was slain
You ascended to Heaven
And evermore will reign
At the end of the age
When the earth You reclaim
You will gather
the nations before You.

And the eyes of all men
Will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified
With wisdom and mercy
And justice You'll reign
At Your Father's side

And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world
Rule in power
And the earth will reply
You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords.

There's a shield in our hand
And a sword at our side
There's a fire in our spirits
Than cannot be denied
'Cause the Father has told us
For these You have died
For the nations
Who gather before You.

And the ears of all men
Need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified
Who descended to hell
Yet was raised up to reign
At His Father's side.

And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world
Rule in power
And the earth will reply
You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords.

You're the Lion of Judah,
The Lamb Who was slain
You ascended to Heaven
And evermore will reign
At the end of the age
When the earth You reclaim
You will gather
the nations before You.

And the eyes of all men
Will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified
With wisdom and mercy
And justice You'll reign
At Your Father's side

And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world
Rule in power
And the earth will reply
You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords.

There's a shield in our hand
And a sword at our side
There's a fire in our spirits

'Cause the Father has told us

Who gather before You.

And the ears of all men
Need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified
Who descended to hell
Yet was raised up to reign
At His Father's side.

And the angels will cry

Who was slain for the world
Rule in power
And the earth will reply
You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords.

"Forty"

I waited patiently for the Lord,
He inclined and heard my cry,
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay.

And I will sing
Sing a new song
I will sing
Sing a new song.

You set my feet upon the rock,
And made my footsteps firm so
Many will see and many will fear
(repeat)

And I will sing
Sing a new song
I will sing
Sing a new song.

And I will sing
Sing a new song
Sing a new song,
sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song.

I waited patiently for the Lord,
He inclined and heard my cry,
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay.

I waited patiently for you
And you heard my cry
You brought me out
You brought me out.

And I will sing
Sing a new song
I will sing
Sing a new song.

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long,
How long, how long
(repeat)

And I will sing
Sing a new song
I will sing
Sing a new song.

I will sing
Sing a new song,
Sing a new song,
Sing a new song.

"Here I am to Worship"

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness,
Opened my eyes, let me see
beauty that made
this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you.

Here I am to worship,
here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that
you're my God.
You're altogether lovely,
altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days,
oh so highly exalted,
glorious in heaven above,
humbly you came
to the earth you created
all for love's sake became poor.

Here I am to worship,
here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that
you're my God.
You're altogether lovely,
altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.

And I'll never know
how much it cost
to bear my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know
how much it cost
to bear my sin upon that cross.

Here I am to worship,
here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that
you're my God.
You're altogether lovely,
altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.
(repeat)

And I'll never know
how much it cost
to bear my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know
how much it cost
to bear my sin upon that cross.

"How Great Is The Love"

How great is the love of God
How strong is the hand of love
so fine
His mercies are new every morning, so fine
His mercies are new every day
(Repeat)

We sing a new song,
we sing a new song.

Great is the love
that paid for all our sins
Great is the love
that gave us life again
Great is the love of our God.

How great is the love of God
How strong is the hand of love
so fine
His mercies are new every morning, so fine
His mercies are new every day

We sing a new song,
we sing a new song.

Great is the love
that paid for all our sins
Great is the love
that gave us life again
Great is the love of our God.
(repeat)

"Behold the Lamb"

Behold the Lamb
who bears our sins away,
Slain for us – and we remember
The promise made
that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross
So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King.

The body of our
Savior Jesus Christ,
Torn for you – eat and remember
The wounds that heal,
The death that brings us life
Paid the price to make us one.
So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love

The blood that cleanses
every stain of sin,
Shed for you – drink and remember
He drained death's cup
that all may enter in
To receive the life of God.
So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King.

And so with thankfulness
and faith we rise
To respond, and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As His body here on earth.
As we share in His suffering
We proclaim Christ will come again!
And we'll join in the feast of heaven
Around the table of the King.

"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Dayspring from on high
And cheer us by thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows
put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Key of David, come
and open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that
leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Words from the Liturgy of St. James, 13th century plainsong
